My stay included participation in complimentary hotel activities. i enjoyed cultural dances, a mini cooking class, and krathong making. the hotel team is very helpful and caring, always available. organized parties are perfect. I felt the service stood out.

Arranging the light switches in the room seemed counterintuitive. Many switches require clicking, and their functions are not immediately clear.

the hotel grounds feature beautiful gardens providing a private oasis. i particularly enjoyed the oasis of green space around the bungalow. the beach offers very comfortable sun loungers and natural shade from the trees.
