breakfast buffetfresh fruithouse teabusy roadtuk tukroad condition
the breakfast buffet had many options. it included fresh cut fruits (i especially liked the mangoes). satith, the server, suggested i try the local tea. the resort gave each guest a bag of their house tea upon departure. i appreciated this touch.
i found the road going through the hotel busy. people and tuk-tuks travelled along it at all hours. calling for a tuk tuk felt unsafe. the road had many holes and was not in great condition.

Our butler, Dewan, offered great tips for activities. He picked us up when needed. Dewan even guided us on a morning nature walk to watch the sunrise atop a mountain. The entire staff displayed kindness.

I enjoyed the hotel's location near Little Adam's Peak. It was easy to walk to the peak and back for breakfast. The hotel grounds were calming and green. The pool was great, with scheduled time slots.
The paths became muddy after rain. Tuk-tuk rides felt unsafe because of road conditions. Service in the restaurant was occasionally slow. Staff attentiveness varied.
