lush ground green space helpful staff repetitive music early closure limited bar
The grounds were so lush and green.. a true paradise. the pools were a dream.. so many to choose from. the staff was kind and helpful. I felt so pampered.
the evening entertainment was a bit repetitive. it was often the same music. also, the beach bar closed a bit early for my liking. it left me wanting a late-night cocktail under the stars.

tranquil retreat amidst nature
natural environment monitor lizards
The resort is beautifully integrated into the natural environment. i especially liked seeing monitor lizards wander freely. They added character to the grounds (i was like i was in a jungle!). the beach offered plenty of sunbeds for relaxation.
the limited number of open bars was disappointing. during the day, obtaining a drink at the lobby or garden coffee shop was impossible since they were closed between breakfast and dinner service. this made it inconvenient to get refreshments.
Dining

the breakfast selection was extensive, with many choices available. i found both thai and european options very tasty!). the staff was consistently friendly and helpful.

A Stay with Some Downsides
The breakfast was good (especially the selection of gluten-free bread!).
I found navigating the hotel quite difficult. The dark foliage made it hard to see (especially at night), so I ended up getting lost several times.

A few nice aspects
refurbished room spa pool needed tlc initial worry
I enjoyed the updated accommodation. Our newly refurbished room was beautiful and quiet. There was a spa pool straight outside and a nearby pool was also very quiet.
I agree the hotel needs some TLC in places. I initially felt underwhelmed on arrival. I was shown to our room and started to worry slightly.
