I had a truly fantastic experience at this resort! The private beach was stunning, perfect for kids with calm waters, and the two pools were a lovely place to relax. The dining options featured delicious Thai and European cuisine, and the majority of rooms boasted beautiful sea views. Special shoutout to the amazing staff, especially Shin, the resort manager, who made our stay memorable. However, there were a few guests who didn't seem to respect local customs, which affected the overall atmosphere slightly.

I absolutely loved my stay at this resort! The beautiful beach and excellent service made it a perfect getaway. While the dining options, particularly for breakfast, could see a bit of improvement, the cleanliness and ambiance of the place more than made up for it. The respot to stay away from busier beaches added to the desired tranquility, although reaching town for snacks was a bit inconvenient.
