“The experience at this InterContinental is truly wonderful. From the superior and attentive service (thank you, Lisa), to the delicious and attractively presented food, no small detail goes unnoticed to make a stay more pleasant. The facility may be slightly older than some newer properties elsewhere, but it is lovingly maintained and seamlessly integrated with the beautiful environs which host it. The beach and swimming pool areas are all well placed and managed, and the gym, with views of the water, is wonderful for an aerobic or strength workout. You can do a full body work out on the various machines/barbells. We did not take any of the numerous excursions, choosing to go zen on site, but they looked fun. A fair number of guests, many German, with children, but the peaceful ambience of the place was hardly ever broken, except, perhaps during the slightly louder-than-desired (for us) saxophone background music at Flame bar one night. The performer was nonetheless very good. But some people dig that kind of accompaniment, so who am I to complain? We very much enjoyed the Buddha-bar type vibe in the background by the DJ one night at the Amber restaurant (amazing Thai food, especially the Phad Thai, steamed sea bass and vermicelli/crab curry). Good mix of younger family and senior clientele. Not a party place but a great setting for relaxation and reflection. Bonus point on the bottled water available. Food usually quickly delivered, with a smile; Flame at lunchtime slightly slow one day when it was not busy, but quality top-notch. We also had a Thai and oil massage, respectively, and they were heavenly. Perhaps the best I’ve had. Would come back anytime and recommend highly to any and all! Great experience!!”
