The road that leads to the hotel is all muddy and messed up. Taxis charge you double the amount if you ask them to take you to the hotel entrance. We had to walk in the mud many times. The hotel doesn't offer a shuttle or any other solution. The pool is filled with chlorine. The sheets aren't clean.

Unsure why some of the reviews of this place are so low, the staff and rooms are absolutely beautiful, the hotel design itself is amazing and the location is great.The restaurant serves a lot of western food but the Thai menu is small yet very, very nice.(there is a restaurant called ‘Three Families’ across the road that is a proper Thai family business that serves proper meals at a cheaper price, definitely recommend trying at least once).The only thing I would say is a letdown is the road leading to it; it’s almost made of mud and sometimes there is a bad smell from the mangrove that it is located next to, however you cannot smell it from the hotel itself - only when walking through the main entry road.This is a lovely place and 100% I would come again, and it’s a shame about the poor reviews.

It is a very cool good resort. And everything very clean. But it has several things that make me not be able to fully enjoy my stay:- They are very rude. Several times I have felt like they were making fun of me. When I wanted to reserve the motorcycle at the hotel, they asked me for my passport and I told them how could they ask for a personal passport, which would give them a deposit like everywhere in Thailand that I have rented a motorcycle. He told me if you drive well you don't have to worry about the passport... A guy laughing and explaining to us that he had gone out to party for the fullmoon and that he was dead without a voice... in the end I agreed to leave the passport and at the end he told me that he was going to eat the passport with laughter.Then the night from Friday to Saturday was horrible, the music was so loud that you couldn't even sleep. The music came from a beach club next door.Today when I left the motorcycle, the guy who works at the motorcycle hotel came and told me the keys? I tell her, let's both go because I want to make sure that she is as I left her. And he took the keys out of my hands telling me that he is the owner of the motorcycle. Totally rude, not appreciating that we are tourists who leave our money in their business. And that bad education causes them to lose future business. I do not recommend renting the motorcycle at this resort. They have more expensive prices than outside the resort and they are also not pleasant at all. They have to improve the service a thousand times.

It's a shame not to be able to give 5 stars. The service is terrible. Do not rent the motorcycle here, the man in charge is extremely rude and forcefully took the keys from our hands.At the hotel for renting the motorcycle they kept our passport, something that has not happened to us anywhere in 2 years traveling through Thailand. And the guy at the reception, seeing that we were undecided about leaving our passport, mocked us by making a bad joke saying that he would eat our passport.The hotel rooms are really clean and nice but the service is not good AT ALL. It seems that the workers and the man who is in charge of managing the motorcycles make fun of the tourists who come.
