We stayed here before and it was an oasis of calm and tranquility. Especially the pool.
With the Avani now built next door it’s not so much an oasis as people staying there are able to use the facilities. This means the pool was always ridiculously crowded and it was impossible to find a lounger unless you went around or before 9am.
The breakfast buffet was a good as ever in terms of choices but it was very very crowded and the service was not the usual Anantara standard. Plates left piled high on tables full of wasted food and not cleared.
The peaceful Friday monks alm giving ceremony has moved to just outside the main breakfast restaurant now and that seems ridiculous - giving Alms to the monks before you are just about to feast in one of the biggest buffets in town.
The staff everywhere are fabulous. They are always smiling. The toilets are spotless.
The rooms are a great size and spotlessly clean.
If Avani guests can use the Anantara pool then I would have liked to be advised the other way around was an option too as the pool there is a rooftop pool even though it’s small - it might have provided a different experience.
The shuttle boat is also busier as I guess the Avani guests can use this too. Bonus though is there is an hourly boat to IconSiam which is convenient.
All in all we enjoyed our stay but I am not sure I would book here again if I wanted a peaceful stay. I loved the boutique vibe this hotel had but that seems to have gone now.
