It’s one of the best holidays I’ve had and I wished we could stay a couple more days. I think the staff made it special.
Liked The location is beautiful and quiet. The rooms are quiet and well laid out. Lots of animals. It was a very relaxing trip.
Disliked It’s a bit tired.

Will be coming back to this slice of paradise
Liked I loved staying here. I wish I could have stayed longer. I loved being right on the water in the Datai area without the really high cost of the resort down the road. I enjoyed walks along the beach and along the road looking for wildlife. I got to watch a hornbill looking for crabs from the deck if my villa. I could do with a refresh, but then they'd charge a lot more to stay there.
Disliked Could have known more about the local wildlife.

Nice with caveats
Liked Excellent staff - really! Very nice food. Nice beach. Nice pool (that doesn't reek like chlorine). Quiet. King size bed. Very spacious rooms. Quite comfortable all in all.
Disliked Food portions could be larger.
Rooms and property should be better kept for such a luxury property. Examples: some trash on the property. Beach not cleaned of litter. Rooms need some maintenance (broken wood furniture, dirty windows).
Other restaurants are quiet far - the closest is at the golf course (the Datai is closed to non-guests). The golf course restaurant is excellent, though.
Note: Datai guards try to keep you off the beach - you have to remind them the beach is public. Then they'll let you "pass" and continue your walk along the beach.

Lovely remote setting. Too isolated for us
Liked Natural setting, kind and prompt staff
Disliked Very tired requires refurbishment, no bar, limited food options, 30-40 min drive to restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. A car is definitely required. Beach not good for swimming
