"Resort is very nice. Our room was fine. We had a cliff view room that backed onto construction and then a cliff. Construction made it that we didn’t use our balcony once due to noise and dust. Breakfast buffet was decent but nothing exciting. It is 350 thb per person. Good walkable location. Front staff very pleasant and helpful. Too many notifications from their must download app."
