May 2021... It began with 32, but we ended up spending a total of 43 days here . It s been our longest hotel stay ever, and we loved every minute of it!

The food at Olive restaurant was excellent. Since it was the only restaurant open on the premises, it served a good selection of Italian, Thai, and a little Japanese.

Activities during Easter and Songkran were a lot of fun with mandatory masking at the semi self-serve and shielded breakfast buffet line. We have khun Pooh ( ) the manager to thank for that. She was so lovely and made sure that everybody who was walking around in that room had a mask on! We also had delicious room delivered chocolate Easter eggs, and special dinners for both events with live entertainment. Ta-Krai was also opened during Songkran and was serving Thai and Japanese food. Dinner there was superb!

We eventually decided it was time to go home when most of the nearby local restaurants, temples, and national parks were closed, either voluntarily or by law, because of low occupancy or afraid of Covid-19.

From security to housekeeping, reception to restaurant managers and servers, we would like to thank each and every hotel employee for their exceptional service. For their politeness, attention, patient, and lovely smile. Thank you chefs for all the delicious meals, desserts (lemon tart & vanilla ice cream ), and all of your specials at breakfast! And of course thank you JWM Khao Lak for such a wonderful package at a very good price.

Thank you all very much for wearing masks all the time. It s a pity that many guests are not as courteous and won t do the same. Of course, 43 days didn t fly by without a hitch, but we will be leaving that with Khun Lek (front office manager) for your consideration. Please allow us a couple of days to slap ourselves back to reality after such a lengthy and wonderful vacation!

As they say health is wealth , so we wish all of you good health and prosperity during this tough time. Hang in there gang! Hope to see you again soon.

PS: Half way back to Bangkok we discovered that we still have the key cards and will mail them to you ASAP! Sorry for any inconveniences.
