Reasonable Stay with Some Issues

friendly staffgood breakfastnoisy roomsmall room
The staff were very friendly. Breakfast provided was good (especially the fresh fruit!). I appreciated the gesture of a dessert for my husband's anniversary.
The room was right next to the street, it was very noisy at all times. The room felt quite small. It is good that I am not tall, because the length of the bed would have been a problem.

Very nice Stay with Really good Service!

I loved my villa with a private pool! The outside shower was amazing, and the beds were really comfy. The breakfast included a wonderful choice of both European and Thai food. I found the view over the ocean just amazing (especially while enjoying my morning coffee!).

The resort provided a peaceful and calm environment (a true escape from hectic life). The hotel offers easy scooter rental directly onsite, which makes exploring the island simple. Renting a bike gives you freedom to explore.

My villa was very nice and neat. The daily turn-down service was a very welcome touch. The plunge pool was essential for relaxation (I spent hours there!). There is also a decent on-site restaurant for lunch and dinner.
