My
partner
and
I
stayed
at
SAii
Choengmon
in
September
2022
and
we
didn't
want
our
time
here
to
end!
We
loved
every
second.
Our
very
detailed
review
below,
but
if
you
don't
want
to
read
further
please
take
this
as
our
highest
recommendation
-
we
were
on
Cloud
9
the
entire
time!
FACILITIES
The
room/bungalow
is
gorgeous,
modern,
clean
and
spacious
and
has
everything
you
need.
A/C
worked
without
problems,
and
the
blackout
curtains
are
lovely.
The
hotel
has
an
app
where
you
can
find
information,
contact
reception,
order
room
service,
request
more
items
etc.
which
worked
great.
The
wi-fi
worked
without
problems.
The
private
pool
is
cleaned
daily.
The
grounds
are
very
clean
and
extremely
well
cared
for.
The
walk
to
the
restaurants,
spa,
pool
and
beach
is
lined
with
greenery
and
you
will
be
accompanied
on
your
way
by
colourful
butterflies,
birdsong,
and
chirping
cicadas.
The
pool
area
right
by
the
beach
is
stunning!
Lying
on
the
upper
deck
you're
in
a
lush
green
oasis;
on
the
lower
deck
you're
right
by
the
beach.
The
bay
is
secluded
and
clean
and
the
waters
calm.
The
hotel
provides
snorkelling
equipment,
protective
shoes
and
kayaks
for
free.
We
didn't
use
the
gym,
but
from
the
outside
it
looked
like
a
clean,
well-equipped
fitness
room.
STAFF
The
staff
are
exceptional.
Every
single
member
of
staff
is
extremely
friendly
and
will
go
above
and
beyond.
They
perfectly
balance
being
available
and
responding
quickly
to
your
needs
without
hovering
or
pestering
you.
At
no
point
did
anyone
try
to
upsell
anything
to
us.
When
we
had
day
trips
planned,
the
staff
at
reception
made
sure
everything
ran
smoothly
with
the
hotel
transfers
and
were
quick
to
help
with
contacting
organisers
etc.,
even
though
we
hadn't
booked
the
trips
through
the
hotel!
Truly
fantastic.
We
hope
these
wonderful
people
are
compensated
well
for
their
amazing
work!
FOOD
&
DRINK
The
breakfast
buffet
is
great.
There's
all
the
western
breakfast
you
would
expect;
pancakes,
french
toast,
croissants,
hash
browns,
an
egg
station
with
omelettes
etc.
made
to
order,
fresh
fruit
and
juice,
yogurt,
cereals,
bread
and
spreads,
as
well
as
a
Thai
breakfast
buffet
with
soups,
rice
dishes
and
dim
sum.
Coffee
and
tea
are
served
fresh
by
the
staff.
Beyond
breakfast,
food
and
drink
prices
in
the
hotel
are
very
much
western.
We
ate
lunch
at
the
hotel
once
and
the
food
was
good,
but
the
restaurants
in
the
nearby
towns
and
villages
are
much
better
and
more
authentic,
while
also
being
much
cheaper.
The
pool
bar
has
a
nightly
Happy
Hour
with
2-for-1
drinks,
which
we
used
a
lot.
They're
generous
with
the
alcohol
in
the
cocktails.
LOCATION
The
hotel
is
a
little
off
the
beaten
track,
which
has
the
great
upside
of
having
the
beach
basically
to
yourself,
but
does
mean
that
you'll
need
a
taxi/moped/car
to
get
into
town.
There's
a
7-11
a
five
minute
walk
from
the
hotel,
as
well
as
a
couple
of
restaurants
on
that
particular
strip
(we
highly
recommend
Pui
Relax!)
and
The
Moon
massage
spa
which
is
FANTASTIC.
Cheongmon
village
is
about
a
15-20
minute
walk
from
the
hotel.
