Tranquil Spa Experience

I had an excellent experience at the spa. Though it was small, the therapist who came to treat me was excellent. It's crucial to book in advance for the great service. The atmosphere felt very serene and relaxing, making it a perfect escape.

Delicious Thai Cuisine

I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing Thai cuisine offered at the hotel. The owners really put in effort to create a boutique experience with great attention to detail, and the food, including some excellent farang dishes, was nice.

Lovely Swimming Pool

The swimming pool was a highlight of my stay. It was kept clean and had a tranquil environment surrounded by flowers and plants, which added to my relaxation. I spent several afternoons unwinding by the poolside.

My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. On the plus side, the green courtyard with lovely palm trees created a nice atmosphere. However, I was quite disappointed with the rooms, which felt more like a hospital than a luxury resort. The dining options were also lacking, making it hard to get a satisfying meal throughout my stay.

My stay at this resort spa had its ups and downs. The atmosphere was calm and suitable for relaxation, which I appreciated. However, the rooms felt a bit dusty and not as clean as I expected from a five-star resort, and I did encounter a few bugs. The service was consistently polite and friendly, though the information provided was lacking. Overall, while it has some redeeming qualities, it's not quite the luxurious experience I hoped for.

I had a relaxing stay at this resort spa, surrounded by a lovely green courtyard with palm trees. While the peaceful atmosphere was perfect for unwinding, the room cleanliness left much to be desired. The price was decent, but I was disappointed to find that the room did not have a separate living area or kitchenette as advertised.

My stay at the resort wasn't quite what I expected. The rooms felt a bit dusty and dirty when I arrived, which was surprising for a five-star place. However, the staff was polite and welcoming, and they showed their courtesy during my stay. While the location may be convenient for business trips, it felt a bit off the beaten path for leisure travelers. Dining options were limited, especially for someone looking for variety. Overall, it had its perks, but I think there are better options out there.
