"I traveled with my two kids this time and booked two rooms. The other review is quite detailed, so you can refer to that one. All in all, it's definitely worth a visit.
To add, the hotel was very thoughtful. On my eldest child's birthday, several lovely waitresses brought a small birthday cake to my child during breakfast. We were all surprised, and my child was overjoyed. While our room was being cleaned, we were on the balcony enjoying the sea view. When we returned to the room, we found they had arranged a birthday greeting pattern on the bed – so incredibly considerate!
Each room received 1500 Thai Baht in credit daily, which was more than enough for food and drinks. It felt like great value and we didn't feel trapped or unable to spend outside the hotel, because the hotel chef's cooking was excellent. This trip, I discovered a new favorite dish at the hotel – cashew chicken. The Tom Yum Goong soup at the restaurant was also delicious. While the hotel's welcome dessert was not good, the cakes and desserts at the restaurant are definitely worth trying. I forgot the name of the cake I ordered, but it had a wonderfully delicate texture and was very tasty."
