Six Senses Yao Noi arvostelua

Just finished a 9 days stay at Six Senses Yao Noi, and it was ok. But not more. Just ok. Which is dissapointing given the expectations we had from from previous Six Senses stays. But in more detail: Staff: 9/10 points Its Thailand, the attitude of the staff, the friendliness, the attention to detail is second to none. Nearly every staff member performs a good job and does the best to make you feel welcome. The food: 5/10 points Amazing breakfast, good service and selection. From local to western, from Japanese to Thai. Fresh fruit, healthy and also yummy selections. Actually the only reason for the 5 points. The rest of the offering gets boring very fast. Its ok tasty (except the pork belly mentioned in other reviews) but overpriced (100 USD for an in room dining steak, that even I can cook better). Good Thai, ok Western selection but prices that do not justify the quality and delivery. Dont get me wrong, its a remote location with higher production cost. But one should deliver better taste and presentation. Counts for all 3 main restaurants and in room dining. View from the Hilltop however is spectatcular. The rooms: 3/10 points Very tired if not to say old. A renovation is overdue and there is a slow decend into shabiness all around. Our friends in the neighbouring villa had the remainders of the toilet coming up in the shower, not very tasty. It was fixed, but the experience doesnt justify the room rate. It feels like every Dollar or Thai Baht is currently pressed out of the business with average service in return. The SPA: 20/10 points Just like the rest of the property, the SPA doesn´t look new, it also feels tired. But the treatments are out of this world. While expensive, they are worth every penny. Unlike the food or rooms. The property/island 10/10 If you are looking for a tropical paradise and dont care about run down rooms or average food, this is your place. Amazing vegetation and well maintained. In summary: If you want to stay 2-3 nights while hopping the Thai islands, if you dont care about value for money on rooms quality or food, this is a good place to stay. I feel ever since Six Senses was taken over by Intercontinental it went downhill. The old magic is gone. Sad ! So, in a nutshell and I said it before, if you charge Four Feasons prices you better deliver a Four Seasons experience and not a Holiday Inn one.
