Reviews and Ratings
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.
I had a great stay at the hotel! The rooms were better than expected with a beautiful view of the bay, though they needed a bit of maintenance. The service was excellent and friendly overall, but one staff member at the reception was a bit rude. The location was fantastic with lush surroundings and easy access to the beach. The dining options were varied and of good quality, and the facilities were well-maintained.
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 ultimate luxury with amazing sea views and a cliff backdrop, although there are a few stairs to climb. The rooms are beautifully appointed, but some lack sea views due to tree obstruction.
The resort offers a private and romantic stay with spacious and comfortable rooms, but the breakfast could be improved. The location is stunning, perfect for couples seeking a romantic getaway.
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 absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room was incredibly comfortable, offering a breathtaking ocean view and a private jacuzzi on the balcony. The service was top-notch, especially Mark who went above and beyond to cater to our needs. The location was a perfect secluded paradise accessible by boat or a short trek, yet still close to the vibrant town of Ao Nang. The dining experience was superb, with a variety of delicious options to choose from. Overall, a fantastic experience with great value for money.
I was thrilled when I arrived at the hotel and found out my room was ready already at 11 am, and what a delight it was to have a sea view room; it was simply fantastic. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. However, there were some minor issues like taps needing fixing and shower heads needing descaling.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were nice and spacious, especially since I had a deluxe spa ocean-facing room. The service was exceptional, with all the staff being welcoming, polite, and friendly. The location was amazing, surrounded by limestone cliffs and a tropical forest, making it a secluded paradise in Krabi. The dining options were great, offering a variety of delicacies, and the facilities were top-notch.
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. The location in a quiet secluded beach area in Krabi was superb, perfect for a romantic getaway, though access is limited. The service was attentive, and some staff members really stood out in their hospitality. The dining experience was excellent, offering a wonderful breakfast selection. However, the worn-out linen was a downside that could use improvement.
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.
