Great Beach Resort, Great for Families
Loved the resort - it's beautiful and kid friendly, as advertised. The rooms aren't huge, but the clever layout turned out to be just perfect for our family of 4. Hotel is immaculate, staff very friendly, and very kid friendly as well. Swimming pools are clean and there are many of them. You have a comfortable place to stay and you're right on the beach - perfect! We were there in October where there's actually a pretty decent surf on this beach. So kids can't go in unsupervised, and adults were advised to watch out too. I love big waves so no issue and there's plenty of nice kid-friendly swimming pools inside.
We did not partake in any of the kid activities - neither did the other guests. I guess these would only make sense if they included child care, but they don't and so parents would have to be there to supervise. I'd rather sit at the pool and the kids would rather be in the pool!
Nanny can be hired for 300 THB/hour for 1 child. 390 for 2.
The only disappointment was the restaurant - Thai food the usual tourist fare but at resort prices; western food just OK but also very expensive for what you get. There really isn't anything around the resort either. We had a rental car so we were able to drive 10 or 15 minutes to the good places to eat. Breakfast buffet was great though - a saving grace.
The resort has a mini mart; some items in there are grossly overpriced, others just have a small markup - overall it's great to have the option. The nearest 7/11 is about 5 minutes drive away, or 15 minutes walking. Our family drinks a lot of water so I was a bit annoyed that the mini mart sells water at over 100% margin, more than double the fair price.
