Everything was perfect from start to finish. We are hard to please New Yorkers and have not one complaint. This place is heaven on earth. Go! and spend as much time there as possible.
Our “GEM” Tik was simply the best butler/concierge we have ever had, anywhere! She made our stay impeccable from start to finish, and her positive attitude and extreme efficiency always put a smile on our faces and made us feel well taken care of. It is often hard to strike a balance between being helpful and solicitous and also respecting a guest’s privacy. Tik walked this line gracefully, always popping up at the right moments and yet never lingering or invading our space. She went above and beyond to make us feel special and treated us as if we were family. It was very hard to leave her!
There is something here for everyone. If you are a resort person who prefers to stay on property, then you will get your fix. If you are like us and enjoy luxuries but also like some adventure, then there are wonderful day trips you can take (we explored local islands and also went to Phi Phi—highly recommended!). Our captain to Phi Phi, Sharif, was wonderful, as was his team.
We also rented a scooter and drove around the island and watched the sunset from a local fishing village, which was a great experience. If we had more time...Everything was perfect from start to finish. We are hard to please New Yorkers and have not one complaint. This place is heaven on earth.

If you can, splurge on a Oceanview villa, but they are all great. We had a "Hideaway" villa which we also loved (we thought about switching once we got there, but were content and didn't feel like moving, so decided to stay).
