Cape Kudu Hotel

Rooms are nicely decorated with a nice view. Simple cute hotel .

The restaurant is quite terrible, the quality at the food for breakfast and dinner is not at all where it should be and not at the standard of the rest of the hotel.

New & clean; superb resort feel; housekeeping is top-notch; manager cares!; and they make excellent omelettes

Location is not beach front, road runs in front of property, instead of hearing waves, you hear vehicle sounds which detracts the experience; pool area could be bigger; hotel spa is located across a side road & not integrated into hotel property

Impressive resort with scenic views. Our room (with sea view) was beatifully decorated. The breakfast buffet was delicious and there was champagne on the first morning (could be a weekend perk only).

The island is not the typical tourist spot which is generally great. However, we didn't find that many bars / restaurants that we could walk to. The main island road is right outside the hotel entrance which isn't particularly safe for long walks which kind of restricts you to the hotel complex unless you rent a scouter. The hotel staff were friendly but it often took quite a bit of explanation on our part to get a helpful response from them. Also, we didn't appreciate the exorbitant prices of the facilities and services on site. The cheapest massage at the hotel spa was x2 more expensive than the previous hotels we'd been to (which were also 4* and above) The cocktails we ordered from the hotel bar on the first afternoon (we didn't repeat) came to over 700TBH which is pretty ridiculous for what was two absolutely standard drinks. The hotel bar and restaurant menu prices don't include 7% VAT and 10% service charge which adds an unexpected extra cost to your bill. Even the massages at the spa come with a 10% service charge which is just absurd and we didn't encounter this practice anywhere else in Thailand. I do appreciate it's a luxurious hotel and we wanted to treat ourselves as it was our honeymoon but all those hidden costs affected negatively our experience.
