Stayed for a weekend in June. Had a room with private pool which was excellent. Extremely spacious, well stocked and a great view of the Andaman sea. It wasn't prime season and the resort was very quiet but the service was excellent. Breakfast in the morning on the patio overlooking the infinity pool and the Sea was standout each day and thanks to Ning for connecting with me on day 3. 10-15 USD Grab to Kamala beach - I did walk it once buts it's a hike, and likely not all that safe given some blind corners and quick the ascent coming back from the beach. Would return!

Stayed 2 years on the trot and it’s lovely, my only concern now is it seems to be catering for the Muslim community which is fine but this factors in the food for breakfast. The pool was way too warm we asked the pool attendant numerous times to chill it but came on deaf ears. The pool tiles are dated and need change ASAP as they have very sharp edges and could be a problem for young children ( to which there are many at this resort. Overall 2 and a bit resort sorry

The staff here is helpful and friendly, which was the absolute highlight of the stay. However, the breakfast has very few selections and gets repetitive quickly. Most disruptive of all is a strong, constant buzzing sound from an electric current echoing throughout the entire resort, making it hard to truly relax.
