Anantara Si Kao Resort & Spa, Trang

There is a bridge that connect the Amari Trang to the coastline across the river in front of the hotel but it has been destroyed by a large wave so you have to go a very long way round to get to the nearest shop. We went into Trang which took 45 minutes in a very uncomfortable 'public minibus' but we really don't recommend that. So if you are coming here, expect to stay in the hotel for the full length of your stay. Prices are dear so bring drinks etc. The menu in the restaurant is lovely but limited and it's the same menu every day.

Go for the food not the room.

A totally wonderful hotels. Have lived in many luxury hotels over the years, but this takes the price ... All of the smallest detail was considered and for customer comfort and satisfaction. Never encountered the word "can not" by the staff. The staff was always in the background, and did so one liked. We had burned ourselves properly in the sun one day, and then we were suddenly waiter with health drinks, etc. (free) which was good for the skin. Just one example like that, but that we even asked for it ... Ok, it can be quite expensive to live there, but it is known fact if you book it, this is luxury. But what was good with this hotel was that this included many activities that would otherwise cost. Ex, you could try scubadiving free, with the instructor (in pool). You could go to another island for free, and borrow bicycles and kayaks (to paddle around in the cozy mangrove swamps items) free, with more and more. The room had a "pillow menu" and mmany different pillows with explanation for each one, ex: the oblong is good if you sleep on the stomach, etc.. Everything in every detail was thought out for the guest's comfort and satisfaction, this was just a few examples, there is really how much any time rattling off the I not found in other luxury hotels that were exceptional for this, it was not the usual "candy on the pillow "only (although there were too). The food was fantastic also, is usually always in restaurants to find any weak point, that "this right was not their big shot" items. But here we tested around virtually all (IAF at their restaurant "leelavadee" tested everything) and everything just sat and enjoyed. I can recommend this hotel. I said before the trip to Thailand that this was the last time I go to Thailand (I have been here 6 times before, thought it was time to give others a chance), but we will come back because of this hotel's sake ...
