Been there in December 2010. After reading so many reviews about the construction, I made a special request to stay in the quiet site. Once I called to reconfirm this, the reception answered with ignorance voice (after calling there a few times, I realised that ignorance or flat voice is the unique reception style here)
Though how ignorance they were, the staffs there managed to book the room on the quiet side for us. The 2-bedroom villa was luxurious, the master bedroom and the pool was spacious. The living room was big. However, the second bedroom was very small and a bit under-maintenance (with ants) , no television, had to walk to living room to do so.

The staffs at the restaurant were very nice, also the food. The butler was fine but still far from 6-star service.

I will recommend my friends to go there if they got it at really bargain price, the villa itself is luxurious (except the second bedroom). And as they claimed themselves a 6-star, I'd rated it lower than that

Stayed there for 2 nights over the weekend.

The villa itself is excellent but beyond my expectation - very new, with nice modern tropical design. A lot of effort has been made to ensure this is a top-notch resort.

Service is enthuastic but far short of the excellent level that you would expect in a Banyan Tree, Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton type resort. Probably need an experienced manager to guide the staff.

The biggest problem here is the construction - it is 24 hours non-stop on the left hand side, with some minor constructions on the right.
The hotel was gracious to put me on right side as requested, even though it was a 2-bedroom villa. Much more privacy and much less noise.
I imagine it could be a very different experience on the other side.

Although the construction is something the management could not avoid - I felt they really shot themselves in the foot by scheduling non-essential maintenance work around the pool over the weekend in the daytime when they place is packed.

Imagine a bunch of noisy, shabbly dressed workers squatting around the pool packed with guests with large areas condoned off. Not the scene you expect at a five-star resort on a weekend.
Strangely, there was no maintenance work on Monday, when the resort was much less crowded.

We also had gardeners intruding into our supposedly private villa early in the morning. At least they could have warned the guests or tried to schedule the garderning when the villas are not occupied.

In all - great hardware, but so-so service.
Definitely needs an experienced manager who has run a high-end luxury resort.
