We loved the location at the top end of the island - on a great beach well away from the craziness of the lower two thirds of the island.
The food was overall very good - especially the a la carte options. Italian was great and of course the Thai was also good. Marriott always excels in the dining area.
Pool was excellent, steps from the beach. Visiting pet elephant was good value.
Pool table was great - but it meant having to listen to the not so great live band. Instead of hits from the seventies, a high quality Thai musician playing Thai instruments or a guitarist playing acoustically would have been so much nicer and classier.
Our only real complaint about this hotel as a family would be that the bathroom design is insane and not private at all. The shutters opening on the room did not fully close and the lack of glass in this area and shutters on the door meant that everything in the bathroom was partially visible and fully audible.
We couldn’t for the life of us figure out who this open design benefits - perhaps a solo traveller wishing to open the shutters during a bath? Weird - if you and your family like your privacy you might want to book somewhere else.
