Description
Listed among Conde Nast Traveler's Hot List 2007, and with rates that start at US$110 a night (skyrocketing up to US$392), this luxurious compound isn't trying to be anything but the very best. The setting is sublime -- three main buildings sit upon a landscaped lawn estate with a sizeable horizon pool, artfully placed hammocks and massage salas accompanied by a lovely, open-air restaurant which offers terrific views across the Gulf of Thailand and serves up fine, very healthy, food. The rooms vary in style and positioning -- most, though not all, have sea views, and while they're minimalist in styling, some are quite bare and the fittings are not up to scratch. There's a reading room/library affair by the swimming pool and ample public veranda space to enjoy the views. Unfortunately Knai Bang Chatt should be oh so much better than it is and we'd say you're paying for the exclusivity alone -- not for five-star service and facilities. The count on which Knai Bang Chatt really falls down, regards its service -- or lack thereof. For these prices, the standard of service, from general level of spoken English right through to just being able to find someone to get you a drink or coffee (to enjoy in your sala) should be tenfold where it currently stands. A Beach Club was being built during our stay (October 2007) which promises to deliver a wide array of watersports including windsurfing and catamaran sailing.
