After reading all the 1 star and 5 star reviews, I was a little confused and worried. Well folks, here's our experience at the hotel in Feb 2023. We booked the honeymoon suite because it was actually cheaper than the ocean view room at the time and they both have ocean views anyway. The final rating is ONE star (see below in The Bad). If they get rid of the Tractor, then the real rating is more like 2.5 Stars. Anyway, The good: - Nok was great. She should be the one welcoming you when you first arrive and she's pretty much the only one who can really speak English at the resort and she's really helpful. She takes break in the afternoon but is around most of the time. I feel bad for her since she looks so tired by the end of the day because she's the only one who can really handle guest requests. - The ferry was convenient although not very frequent. I saw reviews where there were some complaints about not knowing the schedule or the last boat being at 8:30. It was clearly written and presented to us when we arrived. Also, this is something logistical that one should find out before going over to the other side anyway. Another bonus is that when you're checking in or out, they will make a special run for free if it's not close to the scheduled time. Captain Ko was friendly and helpful. Note that this is a WET landing which means you enter the boat by walking into the water, a little less than knee deep most of the time. - Breakfast was actually very good - although we only selected the Asian breakfasts. We saw some people getting western breakfast and they just look a little scary. People also complained in reviews that it used to be buffet breakfast and now you only get 1 drink. Well, the breakfast we got was more than enough and very filling. You get 1 drink and also 1 large bottle of water and 1 large bottle of juice. If your drink is plain coffee, you get 1 additional free refill. We had to ask about the coffee refill. - Free use of Kayaks (see the Bad below), free use of standup paddle board (only 1 available), free snorkel and mask and life jacket The OK: - You only get 1 600ml bottle of water per person per day for some reason. We asked about getting more water and the option was to buy a large bottle. I asked further more and then was told that I can get my bottle refilled. Plastic bottles are a HUGE problem everywhere so it's better environmentally and also financially for them to offer refills instead of bottles everyday. The Bad: - The beach is not clean. It's not quite dirty but it's full of roots and tractor marks and does not look inviting at all. You can hike to a nearby beach for a much better and quieter experience, and better snorkeling. - The Kayaks are free for people to use but they are the most uncomfortable kayak I've ever used and I've done plenty of kayaking around the world. There's basically no back support. If sit down on your floor right now with your
