This is the best hotel/resort I have ever stayed at hands down. Everything that was controllable was performed to perfection.
One big reason for the great stay was my concierge Jack (Huang H.). He went above and beyond... If I needed it .... He got it .... Obviously within reason! But a 2:00 am call to him asking for a taxi to drive 45 mins back to the hotel I don't take that kind of stuff lightly. He gave me his number and communicated with me about every aspect of my stay.
THANK YOU AFRO⛩️JACK
-Main things you need to know-
When you arrive you don't really walk anywhere. You're bused around on golf carts. You could walk if you wanted but you are located on the backside of a mountain. So breakfast, the beach, the lobby, activities around the resort is via golf kart.

You are 45 minutes from the nightlife...
Taxi's from outside (scheduled by the resort) is 800 thb
The resorts drivers are 1500 thb
These are ONE WAY.....

This resort is in Thailand but these aren't Thailand prices ????????????????
Food felt a little cheaper but cocktails and drinks are USA prices!
----
This isn't a complaint but when you get here the vegetation is overwhelming so..... You will see insects around even in your room... Obviously, if it's something you don't recognize or HUGE call the front desk but there was a lizard just chilling in my bathroom for like my whole stay... He didn't bother me and he ate the insects????????
So don't let stuff like that bother you.

I didn't realize it when looking at the amenities but this place is built like a timeshare. Meaning they give you silverware/microwave/stove/large fridge
Also, there is no need to bring toiletries / personal hygiene kit.. minus my shampoo all their stuff was nicer than mine ????

NO.... you can't step foot on those islands....lol..... They are home to an animal that is protected and apparently people live on those islands too...... i didn't see anyone when I rode the jet ski
Breakfast was insanely good. The food is well prepared and the staff is always nice and friendly. I didn't have any staff that I felt was rude or anything like that. From Jet skis to the beach, the views are simply breathtaking. Honestly, I didn't want to leave to even go enjoy the nightlife. If you stay here you probably want to stay close to the resort and enjoy what's around you!
Thank you again, Jack and I'll see you in the winter :)
