Beautiful resort with great facilities. Staff were so well trained, efficient, polite and services were top notch. Great that they have shuttles to the night market. However be warned that the food at this resort is extremely expensive. I have been to a lot of 5 star resorts in Asia and this is definitely the most expensive so faŕ.
