We had a splendid time at this resort. The property is lush with vegetation and water features, very pleasing to walk around and enjoy. Very welcoming, friendly, and helpful staff throughout the resort. Beautiful pool and beach. Swim up pool bar was closed for the duration of our stay, but poolside/beach bar was open day and night and poolside service was available. The suite we had was large, clean, and comfortable. Excellent location just steps away to walk into Fisherman's Village, which is laid back and full of beachfront restaurants, bars, shopping, and spas. The location was a huge benefit and reason enough to go back to this resort. We did not care for the sales pitch and pricing/options offered through the hotel for excursions, and we opted to book boat day trips, etc elsewhere. Dining options were superb. Sufficient choices and food options for the included breakfast. The food at the Thai restaurant on site was fabulous. A little overpriced, but beautiful setting and an excellent meal at the flagship Full Moon restaurant. We enjoyed our time more at this resort and location than we did staying on the larger, busier, and less relaxing Chaweng beach. The spa at this resort was simply incredible. The spa grounds and treatments we had were among the best we have had anywhere in the world. Overall, one of our favorite resorts we have stayed at and we would absolutely return here.
