"The resort has a beautiful vibe and the views are stunning. It looks like it’s in need of some good cleaning and maintenance, apparently it’s an older resort that got taken over by a new company last year, so maybe they need some more time.
Pros:
- beautiful views
- good breakfast, almond milk available for drinks at breakfast and you can even order matcha! Excellent service. Vegan options in terms of food are present but limited.
- staff is very friendly
Cons:
- Room smelled humid/moldy. The bed felt damp.
- when I asked the receptionist for a dehumidifier or if there was something to do about it I got looked at weird and just got air freshener offered, which is past the point.
- Room didn’t look clean (see photos)
- mold and chipped off paint everywhere in the room
- no gym or fitness area, yoga classes for 300thb an hour instead
Keep in mind that there are lots of stairs without railings, so not ideal for children or elderly people."
