Great setting but very expensive

Pros: The beach and the wildlife.
Cons: The restaurants and the prices.
The hotel was in beautiful grounds on a great beach. However our room was quite small and dark. As you are a long way from anything else you are obliged to use the hotel restaurants and they are very expensive for OK food.

Correction to a hiccup

Everything was better than anticipated. The extra little touches going to make a great break. There was a problem at dinner but when pointed out, the problem was attended to curtiously and no charge made. The attention thereafter showed that the problem was understood and we could not have been better treated or satisfied. Sometimes things can go wrong, but at the Datai you know it will be resolved to the guests satisfaction. Great staff. We will return.

A very special property combining both a jungle and beach experience

I would definitely make a detour for another visit which for me is testimony of a great hotel. Our very spacious room was on the upper level of the main building with King bed, private balcony (with calling monkeys), separate walk-in bathroom, wardrobe, rain shower, espresso coffee machine, well stocked mini bar with complimentary soft drinks and all the usual amenities expected in a high-end resort. Pros - excellent arrivals experience. Seamless, not intrusive and informative without being tedious - wonderful pool area. Adult pool on upper level calm, peaceful with comfortable sun loungers and attentive service from pool boys. - jungle surrounds with abundant bird life and cheeky monkeys scampering in the tree foliage - Fantastic pathway cut through the jungle from the upper levels of the property which encompassed the main building and reception to the glorious beach below with its own restaurant, beach bar and second pool. Cons: - really little to complain about but if you were going to be picky perhaps they could up the game in respect to cuisine. Nothing particularly wrong, but fairly samy and with high pricing they should word on distinguishing more with flavour, etc.
