Good. Very good. But not great (yet?)

Before writing the actual report on our stay in Rasananda, I'd like to extend my sincere gratitude to agoda for making it all happen. Nowadays it's quite difficult to come across the true professionals and you are exactly that, so thank you.
What really surprised me about Rasananda was the fact that this particular hotel left me in some form of reviewer's limbo, whereby I neither hate nor love it. But even more strangely, I am not neutral towards it either. To be honest, it's been a week since my return, and yet I am still finding it difficult to form a conclusive opinion about Rasananda. On the one hand, this hotel does not have the obvious faults to be slammed in this report; on the other - Rasananda still has plenty to learn to acheive its full potential, and, more importantly - to bare individuality, which sorts the good from the great.
1) Arrival and departure:
There are three ways of getting to Rasananda, and to be fair, not a single one of them is perfect. If your wallet is way too heavy for hand luggage and you check it in every time you fly, you might consider getting the hotel speedboat (we did exactly that on our way back). Sure it will set you back 4500 thai bat per couple per way (to give some perspective on pricing - our business class flight from Bangkok was 1000 bat cheaper), but you won't have a single worry in the world. There is a branded Rasananda desk at Samui airport, where this can be arranged. Then a minibus will take you to a local beachside bar, where upon consuming a couple of complimentary drinks you will board hotel's twin Suzuki-motor powered speedboat for a 30 minute trip to Rasananda's beach, drinking free Coke and enjoying spectacular scenery fly by.
