“This is a beachfront resort tucked into a private bay, defined by limestone cliffs and accessible only by boat; villas offer private plunge pools, while the in-house dining includes Thai, international, and Japanese cuisines. The location is stunning, but some upkeep and staff training appear necessary to elevate the experience. Potential abounds for those seeking seclusion with a bit of adventure.”

The breakfast offered a very diverse spread that covered a lot of different needs. I had a sea view even from my garden room. The rooms felt more like small suites because they were spacious and came with big balconies that provided privacy.
The hotel felt a bit run-down and seemed to need serious maintenance. The doors in my room were squeaky and hard to manage. The room layout was also a little confusing with unclear numbering making it hard to find my way around.
