This is just a beautiful place! Not only the beach, the island and the facilities, which are perfectly fitting in the environment, will give you the paradise feeling, but the whole team with their heartwarming, smiling and engaged service are making this place memorabel. The rooms are well equipped and the private plunge pools are just amazing. All rooms & villas are situated in a beautiful tropical garden or beach setting. For a tropical climate, which will make it nearly impossible to have facilities without any impact due to humidity, the rooms are well maintained and we did not see any difference to 8 years ago. We would suggest to go for a Beachfront pool villa or a beachfront garden pool villa as the views of the Beach are just amazing. Every room has reserved sunbeds at the beach which stops the annoying run on sunbeds. The property is quite big but you won‘t recognize as the architecture and arrangement of the villas are well arranged. Moreover, due to the long beachfront of the Hotel, the beach really feels quite private. The restaurant is beautifully settled between palm trees with your feet being in the sand. Patrick the F&B Manger is highly motivated to create also an exceptional gastronomical experience with focusing on high quality. The improvement in the restaurant regarding quality and offer was the main difference compared to our last visit 8 years ago. Only the wine Menü needs some update :-), which was promised by Patrick :-). Pricing is high but in our opinion worth it. There are plenty of other small, also amazing, Thai restaurants in the small village behind the hotel, giving enough cheaper options. Thank you Patrick, Simon and the whole Team.
