    Amazing location but didn’t quite live up to reputation

    15 Jun 2026

    The Datai is undeniably beautifully set. We enjoyed our stay and I have rated it as average vis a vis value for money when compared to other luxury resorts in SE Asia. Staff were by and large super friendly and helpful but elements of service were haphazard at…

    15 May 2026

    It rained every day. Nothing the hotel can do about that. But there is very little to do if it's raining. Beach, pool, rainforest tours, golf, tennis - all cancelled or unappealing. Spa and gym ok, but there's a limit to how much time you can spend doing those…
