It really did match photos and exceed my expectations. With the ornate wood and engravings and decorations of rooms and facilities It had a beautiful classic and authentic feel to it. No tackiness to be found at this resort in my opinion. The rooms were clean, very comfortable and gardens, grounds and roads were very well maintained and cared for. Quiet at nighttime. The bath and daybed on balconies was such a bonus. Views from all areas was phenomenal. It felt not too crowded, private and secluded but still within walking distance to a little village for ATM, food, massage, laundry etc. The infinity pool was amazing, as was the breakfast area for hotel 4 (In same location as infinity pool).Breakfast was really great, lots of western and Asian options and delicious drink options. Wasn't too crowded (July). Due to the location on steep hill, you're not able to walk from hotels to main areas and need to get transport up and down from room to main lobby and beach. At hotel 4 we could walk 2min to breakfast and infinity pool. I could see some reviewers didn't like this however we found it to be quick and the men driving were always friendly and happy to help. Waiting areas had shade, seats, even ceiling fan and a phone to call for the cars (we never did, just turned up, there was often one there finishing a drop off). We never needed to wait more than 4 minutes and the drive was under 5 minutes. We like to eat externally and support local community for massage etc.

Spectacular place. We will definitely go again. We had a couple of issues with our room but nothing earth shattering. Food and drinks a bit pricey. Staff very eager to please and professional. Overall great place and facilities. Terrific views.
