this hotel was the best of my 2 week trip to thailand and middle east. we traveled here during ramadan, right in the middle of the middle eastern summer. the staff were simply the best, friendliest most helpfull staff i have ever come across. the fact that the hotel has its own private beach club across from it is just stunning. as it was ramadan - it was basically all ours. the rooms were perfect, the location was amazing. i cant speak more highly of this hotel. breakfast was beautiful, only thing was that the rooms were dated, but for the price - just amazing
