The best holiday EVER! expecially because I received exactely what I needed!
Nice real people, no fuss, good food, great swimming in the sea, great gardens, and plenty of time to recharge my mind, body and soul.....and - to be honest - wonderful corrency change!!!!
They took good care of me, giving me at the same time the privacy I needed.
Actually, they went a little bit further...they treated me like a friend.
I didn't travel a lot far from the Resort, but the people I met was as I read about it...smiling, gentle and ready to help you out, even if sometimes comunication was troubled.
Usually, if you speak English and are in touristic places you will not have problems, but with "normal Thai people" you may have some. Just smile, use your hands and be ... a little bit Thai youself! I promise you this: you will feel so much happy!
Other thing to say is that YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE EITHER A CAR OR A MOTORCYCLE, riding a bike would be hard, is a very hilly island, and you have to have an international driving licence, just to be sure. I was told that not all the policemen accept the national one.
The owners Massimo (Italian), Ekaterina and Tatiana (Russians) are combining the elegance, the kindness, and the joy that their culture can expresse, and is visible everywhere in the resort.
It is not around the corner, but I will definetly try to go back.
