spent a week here in a room with its own pool which was lovely. a steep walk down to pool and beach and also where breakfast was. they do provide golf buggies to get you up and down if you need it. free use of kayaks and paddle boards. Pool attendants were great, so helpful. All staff were great and very friendly. breakfast choice was incredible.

Beautiful hotel- very lux- fantastic bathroom! Large resort, so you have to drive a buggy to get around to the beach/pool- which is a bit of a hassle. Staff very friendly. Several different restaurants,it is calm, very quiet in the evenings. Nice 5 star hotel

An exotic and exceptional property for couples to re-charge their relationship batteries, cement stronger bonds, relax and catch up on lost times because we all have been busy with others!

Wonderful hotel. My only regret is not staying longer. Everything in this hotel was at or near perfection - ie. Service, friendliness, the F&B quality. Location in Chaweng is perfect - best for going to town night market, restaurants and bars; and location for excursions pick up. I shall return!

The pool/beach staff do a great job too, no having to get up early for a sunbed here!

Lovely hotel with the most amazing staff who smile at every turn and cannot do enough to help you enjoy your stay. Gorgeous rooms, immaculately kept. The pool/beach staff do a great job too, no having to get up early for a sunbed here! The only drawback is that the 3 restaurants are quiet each night as people go out to eat as the food and drink (apart from happy hour) are so expensive. However each morning the main restaurant was packed as breakfast is included and was great. The hotel is built on quite a steep hill, but if you don't want to walk, a quick call brings an electric buggy to pick you up. Would definitely recommend. Read less
