We're currently staying the 2nd week in building 15 in a premier pool access room, having anticipated this for 7 years. It's everything we dreamed of, and the room is even better than on photos! Everything is clean, spacious and the bed is massive. The private pool is wonderful, we're normally beach people but here we prefer to stay on our own little terrace. Little advice to the hotel: please put signs up "pool use only for swim up rooms" - we've had several normal hotel guests occupy the sunbeds behind the swimup pools as well as go into the pool with sometimes 3 children who jump into the pool which is clearly not what we expected paying the upgrade price.

Breakfast is wonderful, we couldn't think of anything that was missing here. Full 5 stars.

The beach unfortunately is not very inviting. The hotel part, that is. The beach itself of course is gorgeous, but the hotel part looks like a 2* hotel's tbh. The sun loungers are not acceptable for a 5** hotel! They're stacked next to each other like in a hen cage, no relaxation or privacy possible. Like the normal hotel rooms, in 3-5 story buildings.

We were thinking of upgrading to a private pool villa but are so glad we didn't! They overlook the main pool with the bar that plays unbearably loud techno music the whole day, and your "private pool" is right out in the open for everyone to see.

We were offered to upgrade to all inclusive upon arrival for a whopping 2200 baht pP per day, but again are glad we didn't, as it's apparently only valid in the main restaurant, and of course you get a cheap cocktail menu for AI as well. We're going to one of the countless beach restaurants whenever we feel like it, and so far only spend 30-40% per day of what AI would've cost us. Advice to the hotel: offer a good quality drinks package, for that nice night cap 😉

If you're wanting to venture into Khao Lak occasionally, you'll have to book a taxi, as the hotel's complimentary shuttle bus is fully booked for a week in advance. Advice to the hotel: Let it run twice within the hour so guests aren't left out.

So our conclusion: We would always book this hotel again, but only with a pool access room in order to have privacy. They're absolutely wonderful and have exceeded our...

Best hotel if you want to stay solely at the hotel and have a fantastic beach right outside your door--plus, the sunrise and sunset views are absolutely gorgeous as you see an endless ocean along the horizon. As for the service, it was all impeccable. Room cleaning is everyday and you can ask for additional water if you run out. You can order room service that comes at a very cheap price (even for a hotel)! They have great amenities: gym, yoga room, pool room (must pay for), bowling (I think 100 thb/person), archery (300 thb/person), and ping-pong, basketball/badminton/tennis (all for free). I think free breakfast is included in all packages, but if not, it's worth investing in bc it runs from 7am-10am and there is a pretty big selection of food :) Lastly, the beach is literally in front of the hotel restaurant! If you live far away from the restaurant, or wherever you are in the resort, you can order a "buggy" or golf cart to take you wherever you need to go :) The room itself is very large, and you get a nice deck with a clothes hanging rack and a view of the pool. There is a fridge, but no other kitchenette supplies. Be aware that toilet paper shouldn't be flushed down the toilets as it can clog the pipes and even create a nasty smell in the bathroom. The wifi is great and the table room is big enough for two computers! As for the surrounding area, there's a cute cafe just across from the hotel and a small convenience store. Sunscreen is hard to find--if you were on Phi Phi or plan to go, that's where you can find sunscreen at an affordable price. If you want to leave the resort, taxi prices are very expensive. We were able to get a taxi to downtown for about 300 thb (for 2 ppl), but that's only one way. It's probably best to rent a motorbike while you're here. There are many massage places along the beach and restaurants that are a bit cheaper than the hotel. All of the people who work there are very nice and know English relatively well. I highly suggest eating at one of the restaurants while watching the sun set!! It's so beautiful out on the beach :) Only critique: please use glass bottles to reduce...
