The resort is right on the beach with multiple pool options and even an adult only pool. The breakfast is worth the price and they even have Thai cooking classes. We upgraded to a jacuzzi on the balcony overlooking the beach and enjoyed the room. The only disappointment was the all you can eat meat and fish skewers, which was expensive and took 2 hours to get 2 plates. Everything else was resort priced but worth it if you like to really unwind with a sense of having a private beach Read less
