Little Rann Resort

This 'hotel' is in the middle of the country side, so no one is expecting high value, but, this should not prevent the management of doing the garden, filling up the swimming pool, decorating the premises .. Food is ok, but no choice, just a plate with basic food, a sweet as desert, no fruit in the morning, no coffee etc. The place and rooms look poor, no matress protection eg, electric wires hanging next to shower. The manager, an ex 'globetrotter' is fluent in French, English and local languages, and helpful, but still the place looks shabby. A simmple hotel can still look good. NO credit cards accepted, we did not know this and were short of cash, no where around to go to an ATM. The so called (expensive 65 euros for two) safari is nice but driving through rubbish (ok we know this is sometimes common) to go and see some wild donkeys which have to be chased by the jeep to get them moving and make it interesting (poor animals).... may be this place can be skipped in Gujarat. Sunset though is beautiful in Kutch...

Travelling independently with our own car and driver, we arrived at Little Rann Resort to be greeted warmly by the owner and his staff. Our room was large with a “sit out”, the photos on the website give you the impression that there is road right outside the rooms. It IS, but only for the jeeps to park. NOT a real road !! We were given a delicious lunch, including hot gulag jam for pudding. Too much for us but most welcome. We took one of the jeeps out at 4.30 with four Indian National and a good English speaking driver/guide. Good views for everyone. Saw lots of wild ass and birds. Very peaceful, not a line of vehicles making a disturbance to the wildlife. Went to a salt panning area, and shown how salt is collected by hand. Two families with children working very hard in very austere circumstances. They gave us tea in paper cups which was very welcome. Came back and en route saw large numbers of flamingos and waterfowl. Supper was delicious and served by very smiley local staff. All in all can’t fault the place. Well organised, clean and very friendly. Thank you.

This is great place to stay and enjoy the Little Rann which is located Enroute to the Wild Ass and Bird sanctuary. Very good hospitality, knowledgeable staff - Birds and wild animal habitat, local geography and life, etc. Yunus bhai is a great local guide with fantastic knowledge about the sanctuary. We were in connect with Mr. Kunal , who is the co-owner of the property and he himself took care of all necessary things for us. Superb host. We enjoyed the food as well. Is a great property and amenities inside. Very spacious rooms with all necessary requirements. They arrange safaris twice in a day. A must stay to enjoy the sanctuary.
