"I would say to everyone look beyond the bad reviews,the staff are very helpfull friendly and will do their best to facilitatee your reequests. The facility has changed since some of the bad reviews in that there is piwer during the day unless generator being topped up. The snorkling around the facilty is good and even better when the turtles pass daily. The food is good and varied over the 4 nights we stayed.

Top Tropical Research and Conservation Centre Hotel Reviews

Hotel Kapalai

Hotel Kapalai

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel room was simply outstanding! Plenty of room, comfortable bed and TONS of lighting options. The restaurant and rooftop bar, however were closed and looked to have been closed for a very long time. There was a restaurant on the ground floor that served a buffet breakfast. If the ground floor restaurant is made permanent or semi-permanent I would recommend drapes to draw diner’s attention inward. The view of the shopping center and dogs was lackluster."

8/10 Good

"The staff were lovely! Pool area was lovely at night - maybe screen off the construction site next door. Kind of ruins the vibe during the daytime. Room was basic but clean"
