What a wonderful stay! They were so accommodating the activists, food and everything they offered was top tier. We travel a lot and this has been one of the best stays we have had throughout the 14 countries we have gone this year.
A money grab at every turn. Resort was like a concentration camp — no one is allowed to leave, for fear you might spend your cash on an authentic well-cooked meal as opposed to their rubbery Westernized noodles. Staff was rude. If ur not paying up, u are ignored and sent to the dungeon.
Unfassbar schöne Anlage mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Wie die gesamte Insel kommen hier Ruhe suchende auf ihre Kosten. Tolles Frühstück, Abendessen hat uns jedoch nicht vollständig überzeugt. Sehr modernes und gutes Fitnessstudio, super Kinder Club, die kostenpflichtigen Aktivitäten waren jedoch viel zu überteuert, genauso das Spa, welches wir deshalb nicht genutzt haben. Einzig die Wasserqualität der Pools, vor allem des Kinderpools können wir bemängeln - es hat unsere komplette Badekleidung verfärbt und ruiniert. Andere Familien hatten dasselbe Problem. Das Team hat uns darauf eine Entschädigung angeboten
Ho soggiornato in questa struttura e nel complesso la mia esperienza è stata molto positiva.
La struttura è davvero bellissima, curata nei minimi dettagli e capace di offrire un’atmosfera rilassante ed elegante.
Uno dei punti di forza assoluti sono le camere: grandi, spaziose, ben arredate e molto confortevoli, ideali per chi cerca relax e comodità.
lo staff è super gentile e disponibile.
Il mare si trova proprio di fronte alla struttura, anche se purtroppo non è tra i migliori, in Thailandia si può trovare di molto meglio — ma chiaramente non è una responsabilità della struttura stessa.
L’unica pecca riguarda le attività: non sono molte e quelle disponibili hanno prezzi un po’ alti, il che limita un po’ le opzioni per chi vuole trascorrere più tempo all’interno del resort.
In ogni caso, resta un posto che consiglio assolutamente, soprattutto per la bellezza della struttura e la qualità delle camere.
Utrolig sted og service.
Kjempebra.
Kunne vært mer underholdning på kveldene og ac var ustabil siste 2 nettene

Pros:
- Room size
- kids slides are very entertaining
Cons:
- doesn’t feel luxury in the slightest
- kids club looks good until you see all the broken toys and the staff on their phones instead of interacting with the kids
- sun loungers get taken from you if you leave for 40 mins or longer. So basically you can’t return post lunch.
- be sure to check the boat timing to / from the island as they only run certain hours and if you need to privately hire it’s $850 sgd for one way (35 mins)

Dette hotel var en af de bedste hoteller vi nogensinde har besøgt. Rammerne var gennemført lækre, og man mærkede tydeligt, at der var kælet for detaljerne. Hele opholdet føltes som en lille luksusboble, hvor man virkelig kunne koble af og nyde omgivelserne. Masser af rum til forskellige aktiviteter på hotellet og super lære og rene værelser.
Den største ulempe – og samtidig en del af charmen – er beliggenheden på en meget lille ø. Der er ingen Bolt eller Grab, så man er afhængig af de lokale taxaer, som kører rundt i små “ladvogne”. Det giver en mere autentisk og afslappet stemning, men betyder også, at man ikke bare lige smutter ud for at opleve byliv.
Om det er en fordel eller ulempe, afhænger helt af hvad man søger: Ønsker man ro, natur og ø-liv, er det helt perfekt. Vil man derimod have masser af restauranter, shopping og tempo, kan det føles lidt isoleret.
Alt i alt en fantastisk og mindeværdig oplevelse – ideel til dem, der vil forkæles og nyde ø-stemningen fuldt ud.

The rooms, the hotel and the food was 6-star rating. Amazing !
We unfortunately didn’t get the Thai-mentality/hospitality here. A lot of the staff seems like robots; doing the job. Other places in Thailand we enjoyed very much the smile and conversations with the staff - but here this has 0 interest. And hey, that’s a choice they made and for some that’s most likely very good.
We gave our feedbacks and I’m disappointed in how their Customer Experience Support is handling it. Basically writing all the right things - but no action.
We were greeted very nicely good bye by the staff, but we feel like the culture in this hotel is broken and for us that’s the main reason of not coming back again.

Havde booket et værelse med havudsigt og fik et værelse med udsigt til en børnerutchebane og træer. Det er var en dårlig start på opholdet. Efter 1 nat fik vi et værelse med havudsigt som var rigtigt fint. Men besværligt og super ærgerligt at bruge tid på det.
Personalet er virkligt venligt og imødekommende. Rengøring er ok. Jeg kommer ikke tilbage.

The check-in was late and very disorganized. After the delay, it was presented to us as if we were receiving an “upgrade,” but in practice we were placed in a family area with water slides directly in front of our balcony, instead of the sea-view room that was originally booked.
Only after insisting were we moved to the correct room, which happened about one hour after the hotel’s official check-in time.
In addition, the prices at the hotel were very expensive by any standard, including the spa and the hotel’s restaurants.

I’m sad and I’m normally not.
Super sad to have had my leave treated this way.
Anantara is good, but they
Overall, an absolutely beautiful hotel with very kind people. The room was excellent and I’ve never been to a more friendly place. The only negatives would be at times The staff just didn’t understand drink orders, and there were a few meals where the service was slow and inconsistent. Again they were super friendly, but I feel a bit young and inexperienced to deal with more complicated requests. Also didn’t like that they had a yoga class every couple days, but it was $45 if you wanted to participate. I think at this price point things like that should be included. Other observation is that it is very family friendly, and me and my wife were just about the only people there without little kids. So if you are a couple looking to hang out with other couples, this may not be your spot, but if you have kids, then it should be perfect. But overall a wonderful stay with super lovely people!
