amazing staff anniversary message professional staff inconvenient layout exhausting experience poor service
i found the resort staff to be amazing. they even arranged a lovely anniversary message on our bed. the staff were also very professional and efficient. their customer service IS something to remember.
the hotel layout IS very inconvenient and exhausting. moving from one place to another takes at least 10 minutes. this can becomes frustrating very quickly.

Mixed Feelings at This Resort
poor air conditioning wooden structure
The resort had a lovely beach.
My room had issues, the air conditioning barely worked despite the minimum temperature. The room felt warm, probably because of the wooden structure. This made it difficult to sleep comfortably.

The hotel's architecture featured thai design. Every detail seemed lovely and carefully thought out. the staff showed respect and provided accommodation with professionalism. the overall hotel displayed taste and stood maintained well. i appreciated the convenient car service from my room to various resort locations.
the limited choices on the lunch and dinner menus became slightly repetitive after a few days, as the restaurants all offered similar options.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING stay!
friendly staff amazing view thai classes
The staff were super friendly and always helpful. The views were amazing, and the facilities were great! Breakfast was fantastic and had plenty of options. The resort offered free paddleboards and kayaks every day, as well as yoga and thai dance classes. I recommend a minimum of 3 nights, it is SO worth it!
The only issue was the many stairs to climb to reach our room. Shuttles are needed to get around the hotel. Apart from this, everything was great.
