This was about my favorite property in a two-week tout of Thailand. Extremely spacious and luxurious suites with a modern Thai decor and ambiance. Gardened beach-front setting was lush, tropical. The outstanding feature of this property is the friendly, non-intrusive service and the plentiful activities. Their staff of guides coordinated by their head "Inagineer" will personalize a wealth of local experiences for you. I particularly enjoyed a day snorkel trip to the Semalin Islands (snorkeling was so-so but the overall experience and style of doing it the Sarojin way was memorable) and most of a day spent with a most personable guide, elephant trekking, exploring the local mangrove waterways and fishing villages by "long-tail" boat, checking out a bustling local market, and finally enjoying a delicious and formally set lunch with great variety, chilled wine and butler service all on the banks of a tranquil local river. This is a place to really relax, soak up Thai culture and indulge in the excellence of Thai hospitality and service.
