Four night stay, we had beach bungalow with patio and private swimming pool (180* of the house). Directly from both houses (yes two houses bungalow) to pool! Floor to roof wide window walls, perfect.
Hotel area located maybe around hundred bungalows but only few located by the dirty beach, yes, unfortunately the beach is totally unswimmable (dirty and muddy).
We enjoyed two dinners in different restaurants, wonderful views, service and food including good wine selections also. You can save lot of money if enjoy dinner near village. We walked back to the hotel.

Wow, loved this resorts vibe. First time at a resort and this was expensive... but totally worth it. My wife and I stayed for about a week. All be it, we mostly just stayed for breakfast and a few dinner+sleep. Overall...we had great time when there. Awesome staff and great amenities. The spa is pretty expensive for Thailand, but it definitely was worth it to experience it once. We also could get help to and from our room, relatively promptly. The beach is ok. Not a swimming beach or a relaxing lay in the sand beach. More like fun tide pool exploration, good views type beach. If youre into that sort of thing, this is perfect for you. Seriously not a big deal for us. Everything else was great and anyone complaining about the steep uphill walk to the lobby are just bent out of shape, literally. If that walk sucks for you, then you probably need it more than you think. The breakfast was awesome as well. Came with the resort! However, dinner did not. Not too big of a deal though. Seriously if you want that island vibe without the laying on the beach and with stellar srvice staff this is your place. Gang gang

This hotel should not be rated as five star. It should be three star at best. The surrounding area is not conducive to getting food or anywhere safely because there are no sidewalks, no lighting and it is a major road. The hotel is having major construction as we speak, and this was not told to us at all. Lounge chairs were filthy. The beach because of high and low tide completely disappears for up to 12 hours a day. The shower is outside so you have mosquitos in the same space. At best 3 stars. Best thing about this booking was the free foot massage.
