Mixed Feelings at This Resort

lovely beachpoor air conditioningwooden 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.

splendid stay at this island paradise

thai designprofessional stafftasteful hotelconvenient service
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.

The food tasted very delicious at the entrance restaurant. near the infinity pool. The restaurants have exactly the same menu, though. breakfast offered a great choice of foods and drinks. a beautiful view.

My amazing wooden room provided an amazing sea view. a large bathtub existed on the balcony for relaxed bathing. the hotel design with carved wood looked excellent. I found it aesthetically pleasing.
Location

The resort sits on a hill, resembling a small village. It features many houses, many locations, and a couple of pools. getting around required shuttle cars. Waiting times never exceeded five minutes. the hotel stood well maintained.

I found the mattress too hard. It was quite uncomfortable. the waiting times for vehicles were long. the water pressure in the rooms was weak. I applied 3 times to fix it. but it was only a little bit worse.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING stay!

friendly staffamazing viewthai classessteep stairs
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.
