It is the perfect blend of complete tranquility and activity.

WORST HOTEL EVER - In 20 years of non-stop global travel (88 countries), I have NEVER experienced anything as bad as what happened to me at The Flame Tree Estate & Hotel. I arrived, they claimed they were closed and SAID I HAD NO ROOM. I was stranded 40 miles from the nearest city and they OFFERED NO HELP and simply told me it was Expedias fault and I should take it up with them!!!!At considerable expense I had arranged a driver from my previous hotel to take me to Flame Tree. That hotel had been called them during the day to confirm location and no one answered any calls. I arrived (terrible signage too!). A guy took my bag then made a phone call. That went on for ages and given no advice on where to wait I just sat down on the front steps. Then the guy asked me if I had a reservation.... I said of course, he said, must speak with management and gave me the mobile phone. I was then basically yelled at by some obstinate man who claimed they werent open and Id need to leave, that was that!I said I wasnt interested in being spoken to like that, handed the phone back and insisted on being shown to the duly booked room. I was not! The staff just dawdled around (I think they had personal friends visiting so seemed more interested in them than the paying customer) and I sat and waited. Eventually I demanded to speak to someone in charge again. Let me be clear, if I hadnt taken such actions (sitting, waiting, demanding to speak) that would have been that - they DIDNT CARE
