We visited this hotel 4 years ago for a short break at the end of a tour and we vowed to return. This time we travelled independently and found the hotel just as we left it! A true paradise. No block of rooms, just individual villas scattered around core service buildings, all set in beautiful gardens. Two pools offer different experiences, a large kidney shaped fairly shallow one or, our favourite an infinity pool looking out over the SouthbChina Sea, over 2 m deep at the "infinity" end and about 25m x 20m in area. Fabulous naturally warm water in both.
The staff are truly welcoming and from gardeners to Managers, they all greet you whenever they see you.
The food is fabulous, though a little cosmopolitan, but if you prefer more native cuisine, then the local shops and restaurants are only about 1.5miles away .... About a £1.20 taxi ride and there always seemed to be at least one taxi waiting in the car park.
There are a good number of the villas that are beach side and the sea is fabulous to watch from the loungers or swim in.
