They were kind enough to send their vehicle to pick me up from the main highway. Up and down the coast here you really need your own transport otherwise you are subjected to exorbitant taxi fares. Quick check in and whisked off in a golf cart to my room. My Suite was close to the restaurant and the beach. It was like a 1br condo. Modern, clean with all the comforts of home. Adequate lighting, quiet aircons, storage space and comfortable bed with clean linens. The bathroom had an enclosed hot water shower with excellent water pressure. I wish my condo had pressure like this. The restaurant was open for all meals and the staff were friendly. For breakfast I had buffet 1 day and set menu the next. Ample food to set you up for the day. Plenty of room in the pools as I was the only person when I had a swim. On checkout I was picked up by the golf cart and reception organised one of the exorbitantly expensive taxis for me. I was only going 8kms down the road to my next destination and this cost 300 or 350 baht. As a comparison. I took a private taxi from Ubon Ratchathani to Sisaket, a distance of 68kms and the standard fare is 300 baht. This is a 4 star hotel but it felt like 5 star to me. I was happy I splurged.

Stayed in January for our 2nd visited (visited Jan19 previously) and once again found the hotel and entire experience outstanding We stayed in a villa (1155) which was excellent with a big comfortable bed, great bathroom with both indoor and outdoor shower. There is also a comfortable lounge and useful kitchen. The villa was kept very clean We stayed on a full board basis and the food was exceptional. Great breakfasts and both Thai and European dishes at lunch and dinner.. Three evenings a week were themed buffets. Hygiene standards are very high and we can't speak too highly of the staff who are all highly efficient and friendly Reception staff were very helpful and friendly The beach is fantastic with loungers for everyone. The hotel provide plenty of towels which are replenished regularly. We love this hotel so much we have already booked again for January 2021

We had a great stay in the Kanatary for a short break for our anniversary. It is our 3rd visit staying in one of the private villas. These villas are well located to the restaurant and beachfront and one of the pools. They are large, very comfortable and well equipped. All the staff were really great as always, especially Mr Nong from the restaurant and the Reception Manager and the young man who is the supervisor called Krit who we used mostly for the golf cart service to and from our car at reception. We had a great Thai meal (Very reasonably priced) as room service the first night, which as the weather was bad, was really convenient. The internet was good and stable throughout our stay. My points of criticism would be that the TV in the room is old fashioned and doesn't have a workable USB port to watch any files and the cable package is very limited (one English channel) if your not Thai. There were no DVD's offered even though there is a DVD player. The breakfast which is usually a buffet is currently only served as A La Carte due to the Covid situation, which is fine but we would have liked a bit more selection on the hot food choices and the bacon had been pre cooked and was cold and hard and should have been made to order as there were very few guests staying during our time there.
