My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. While the rooms weren't exactly what I expected from the website, they did surprise me with a lovely gift of balloons, a cake, and a gift. However, the rooms themselves seemed a bit tired and in need of a makeover. The service, on the other hand, was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to make sure my stay was memorable. The location was simply amazing, offering stunning views right by the beach. The dining experience was great overall, although it leaned more towards international dishes than local flavors. The facilities were satisfactory, but there were a few areas that could use improvement.

I had such an amazing stay at the hotel. The rooms were great, especially since we had the one with a Jacuzzi, which was just perfect. The safety deposit box and phone in our room were okay but a bit dated. The rooms were very spacious with a Japanese style, and the views were breathtaking, not only from our room but over most of the resort. I particularly loved being surrounded by the massive Jurassic-type rock ledge that lit up at night; it was just beautiful.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while spacious, require renovation as some amenities were hard to operate, and rust was noticeable, albeit not overwhelmingly so. The location, right on a beautiful beach surrounded by high cliffs, offered privacy but could be a bit inconvenient for tight sightseeing schedules. The dining experience was enjoyable with plenty of choices but slightly marred by understaffing issues. The service stood out for the considerate gestures, although English proficiency was lacking in some staff members.

The hotel offers a cozy set up with light snacks and beverages throughout the day, but cleanliness could be improved. The service is a mix of extremely helpful staff and less pleasant experiences. The unique location provides a 'Yay we might have made a good choice' feeling, although overcrowding on the shuttle boat is an issue. Dining options are varied but may require assistance for seating. The facilities offer an abundance of delicacies but lack upper management presence.

I had the most beautiful view from my room, which was cleaned and restocked daily. However, it was not 100 percent clean, and the front desk did not respond to this issue. The service, from bringing me up to play kayaking to looking after the pool area and beach, was lovely and welcoming. The location, in a protected cove surrounded by limestone rocks and close to the town via a monkey trail, was both charming and convenient. The dining experience, with a huge variety of breakfast options, was incredible despite an overcrowded restaurant. Overall, a wonderful stay with stunning views and attentive service.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room, a deluxe spa with partial sea view, was nice, though it could do with better light-blocking options.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although comfortable and clean, had a noticeable issue with a broken/exposed wall tile that remained unfixed during my stay. On the bright side, the room was spacious and luxurious. The service, while not rude, lacked that friendly touch I usually appreciate. However, the professionalism and helpfulness of the staff were evident. The location, set in a nature reserve, offered great privacy and a magnificent view, but access was challenging either by boat or through a demanding monkey trail. Dining options were varied, with a wide range of Western and Thai choices. The facilities were a bit of a letdown as some areas, like the pool edge pathways, seemed neglected and constantly dirty.
