The hotel is set in a fantastic location overlooking the sea, with a lovely beach right on the doorstep. The grounds have a beautiful tropical feel, with plenty of plants and trees, which creates a sense of seclusion, particularly around the villas and the beachside pool.
The staff were fantastic throughout our stay — always friendly, helpful and welcoming, and consistently greeted us with a smile. Breakfast was also very good, with a wide selection of options as well as freshly cooked eggs, pancakes and other dishes available to order.
We ate twice at the premium restaurant, Tawann, and on both occasions the food and service were excellent. We would highly recommend eating there.
Our villa was clean and comfortable, but unfortunately it felt somewhat dated and shabby in places. For example, the curtains looked grubby and in need of a clean, while one was also ripped. As a result, the room didn’t quite feel up to the standard we would expect from a five-star property.
Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay. The location, beautiful grounds, excellent staff and quality of the food were all highlights. However, the property would benefit from some investment and modernisation to bring the rooms and facilities up to the five-star standard they are aiming for.
