Everything was great here, better than the Four Seasons Samui. Staff was friendly and the breakfast was to die for.

Excellent services and staff are very passionate. It just takes you a few minutes walk to the beach, or you can choose to stay at the pool with a fantastic view. The room is spacious and clean, surrounded by plants and trees. Close to city centre and airport.
