I was really looking forward to my first stay in an overwater bungalow. The hotel grounds were vast and it truly felt like being in a rainforest. As other reviewers have mentioned, the facilities are a bit dated? The doors to the rooms and balconies were sometimes difficult to open. Nevertheless, the rooms were spacious and clean, and the view was amazing! Welcome fruit was provided, and the minibar was replenished daily with beer, snacks, and soft drinks. The food was also fantastic. Room service was reasonably priced, and the highly-rated Thai restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, and was reasonably priced. There was an overwhelming variety of food at breakfast. If you stay in the Premier room, you can have breakfast at the beach restaurant by the sea, but I highly recommend this one. Of course, the view is superb and it's quiet. The menu is smaller than the main buffet, but there were noodles and omelets, and I think the contents changed daily. Above all, the freshly squeezed juice was the best. I would give it a perfect score, but the front desk staff was terrible. I arrived by taxi and was escorted to the lounge and told to wait for check-in procedures, but no one came for a long time. Other guests who arrived later had also finished checking in, and there was no sign of anyone waiting in the lounge, so I thought something was definitely wrong and asked at what seemed to be the front desk counter. The first thing they said was, "Have you handed over your passport?" I complained that I hadn't been asked that and asked how long they expected me to wait. By this point, I had already been left waiting for 30 minutes. I was made to wait even longer, and when they finally tried to start the process, I first asked for an explanation of what had happened and for an apology. Apparently, the system is that the bellboy takes the passport and hands it over to the check-in staff. I was furious at their superficial apology, which seemed to mock me because I'm Japanese and they assumed I wouldn't understand English. They said they would investigate the person in charge and report it to the manager, but if that was the case, they should have apologized at check-out, but I was checked out while standing and received no apology whatsoever. Because of this incident, I lost all faith in this hotel, so I checked my Thai restaurant reservation, which I had booked by email from Japan, twice with the concierge. My reservation was for 6 PM, but when I arrived at the restaurant, I was told it opened at 6:30 PM. In short, it's a sloppy hotel. You might be able to tolerate it if you're just looking to enjoy a normal resort life, but if it's an important trip, you should avoid this hotel.
