I believe there were only a handful of other guests at the hotel, so it felt like we had the place to ourselves,
The staff went out of there way to make our stay perfect. With each day that passed, they learned what we liked and would remember the next day. We had breakfast there every day (a la carte as the buffet wasn’t open due to the small number of guests, but was still delicious with many options), lunch a few times, and drinks most nights.
The restaurant and bar staff was great, Most nights we were served drinks by Khun Nok in the bar. He was an exceptional waiter, very friendly and made our evening happy hours even better,
It was sad to leave, as we had such a wonderful time, and we look forward to going back.
