Rated 4.5 out of 5

Based on 3 ratings and 3 reviews

Worth the money

On a par with places such as The Chedi in Phuket, this is a quaint and quiet retreat. Highlights include the spa, especially the steam room. While the spa staff was amazing, the front desk and restaurant staff were a bit cold and not as particularly service-oriented as you might expect for the price.

Worth the expense

Rooms and facilities are on par with places like The Chedi in Phuket, The Sukhothai in Bangkok. Spa services and staff are exceptional. Oversized 'rock' tubs and views back to town from most all rooms are great. Nice breakfast buffet. Only complaint is front desk and restaurant staff could be friendlier and more accommodating, especially given the prices.

Beautiful

We didn't stay, but had a browse around for future reference. The pool is gorgeous, the staff polite and the decor sublime - I'd say it was well worth the spend!
