“Wonderful Holiday Resort”
5 of 5 starsReviewed January 5, 2012

We have stayed at the resort some years ago, but in recent years decided to stay elsewhere because the resort was suffering from age, but, great news, this grand resort has been refurbished and is now an Angsana (Banyan Tree Resort group)………..
Our children, three in all, found the new kids club on the first day and it is totally new with a lot of new climbing and games equipment, but the best by far was that they could take an art class conducted by a professional artist. They could take their painting home and they learnt a lot from this activity; the staff were excellent both David (the manager of the kids club) and Chris Hogan (the artist) and they managed to keep our kids entertained and happy. We will be back next school holiday just so our kids can enjoy their kids club again. 

Enjoyed it very much.

Room Tip: Ask for a room that over looks the lagoon, the view of the sunset is amazing.

“A luxurious family friendly relaxed holiday”
5 of 5 starsReviewed January 3, 2012

The hotel is stunning, immaculately kept. Rooms are excellent – we travelled with our 2 children so had interconnecting rooms – we had a kingsize bed in our room and the children had a small double each.

Breakfast is excellent – everything you could wish to eat.

There are simply loads of excellent restaurants to visit at night, our favourites were Silk, Supper Club, Baan Rim Pa, Lotus, Cudos…………The beach is fabulous but we chose to sit by the pool so the children could frequent the kids club.

The kids club was AMAZING. Angsana flew in Christopher Hogan – an amazing artist – over the festive period to give the children a 2 hour painting class each morning. I could not keep my 7 year old away…. I hence have a mini gallery of art work in the suitcase! Chris was an inspirational teacher and a bit of a pied piper in the hotel – my kids loved him! Will definitely be purchasing a heap of canvases and acrylic paint when home!

A fabulous family holiday, something for everyone, relaxed sophisticated laid back luxury.

Will absolutely be returning!
