Surprisingly wonderful trip
Stayed in room 117 pool suite villa which had relative privacy compared to other villas (as mentioned in other reviews) so we were very pleased... Staff were all very friendly and helpful, if you needed help they would promptly send someone to your villa to speak to you in person - be it to fix the jacuzzi in the pool or talk about doing an activity.
I would NOT recommend the BBQ buffet dinners as the quality of the meat and buffets were very average. However, the ala carte food was excellent and I highly recommend the padthai and wagyu burger at lunch time. Breakfast was also outstanding, the menu said we were only allowed 2 choices but in actual fact you can order as much as you desire.
We did the half day snorkelling and sunset activity which cost 1700++ baht each which was a complete let down. It was run by an external company and the boat broke down halfway and had to wait 30min for a new boat, the tour finished before sunset and the food was abysmal. The hotel does not seem to earn any commission for booking this for you though... so maybe its best to find your own.
Airport transfer costs 800baht when it is a 5-10 minute drive from the airport which is a complete ripoff. Taxis are a ripoff in general here and its 300 baht to the airport. Hard to find a metered taxi or tuktuk due to the seclusion of this hotel. 400 baht to Chaweng beach in a taxi but the hotel provides shuttlebus at 2 set times.
Other than that we were more than happy to just stay at this resort all day as it is that good! Will definitely stay here the next time I am back at Koh Samui!
