Pros:

We really enjoyed the overall atmosphere and amenities.

Cons:

The mattress would separate during the night, even though we had a queen-size bed, which made sleeping uncomfortable.
Kitchen was not completely clean.

Relaxing, enjoyable retreat.
Pros:

To the owners of the apartment we stayed at from 9th May till 13 May.
Thank you for such a lovely stay at your beautiful apartment. We were so looking forward to it and it didn’t disappoint. The apartment is very well designed, it felt spacious and light. It was very quiet and we enjoyed the views over the hill and trees. The apartment was spotlessly clean and all appliances were in good working order. We particularly enjoyed the spa bath. We loved the pictures and ornaments from Thailand as we have visited there often.
We felt your apartment was well loved and cared for. (We even left you a gift of two wine glasses.)
It was a very happy experience and one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed in.

Pros:

The staff were great. The apartment was well appointed and very comfortable. The pools were great, but the sand flies were a bit of a nuisance.
The Thai Restaurant is well worth a visit.
