Lovely place with a long pool running through the resort. Excellent staff and service. Attractive restaurants. ATM machines available.

Restaurants are very expensive but there are 4 beachside "shack" type Thai restaurants adjacent to the hotel beach which are also very good. We can especially recommend Pinkys. Some do non-Thai food like steak. Also a trip to the nearby Blue Mist Restaurant at the back of a mini truck thing is fun - takes a few minutes. Transport to it is free and can be requested via the Concierge.

The bathtub, shower and walls in bathroom are some kind of ageing ceramic which do not look appealing. The bathtub is gigantic but we didn't like to use it. It all works fine, though.

The beach is beautiful but the water is not very clear. Long stretch of beach that is pleasent for long walks.

Sun loungers do not have matresses so can get a sore bottom but we have been told that they will be getting some in a couple of months time. We used cushions from the room.

We recommend the local area day trip which includes a long stretch of beautiful river rafting, punted by young men pointing out snakes sleeping in trees, a turtle sanctuary, a waterfall, and a small sandy beach called "Small Sandy Beach"!

For sunbathing, you do have to "bagsy" loungers early morning but some still available until 9 - 9:30. A tip: many don't realise that there are very private green hedged areas along the water (near the fountains) that can be used by anyone. They are wonderful and spacious.

Delicious ice cream at the Deli.

Overall, a great place to stay!
