The

premises in order to make major guest service enhancements. During this brief closing period, the hotel conducted intensive English Skills
training provided by Toefel Certified, and Thai Ministry of Education approved
Instructors, as well as ongoing interdepartmental skills improvement training
workshops.
Other
enhancements to the resort was the renovation of the hotel's sparkling new pool deck
surrounding one of the largest hotel pools in Thailand, as well as a new Pool
Bar, Jacuzzi and Children's pool. There will also be six newly renovated
Plunge Pool Villas, each with their own private plunge pools. A new meeting room
is also being added.
Most outstanding of the new embellishments is the scheduled opening at the
end of this year of Santiburi Golf Course, just a 15- minute drive from the
Resort. This is the first world-class golf course on Koh Samui, and will
be a spectacular addition to this exotic destination. |
