Just 2 problems:
- The stupid Six Senses policy of having open-plan bathrooms - when you leave your air conditioned bedroom in the evening for toilet, shower or toothbrushing, you find yourself in a sweatingly hot bathoom with bugs and sometimes even with bats and birds!
- Depending on the winds, the beach is often not swimmable because of dirt in the water. But when you take a boat to the surrounding islands, you still can find good places to snorkel and swim.
So you need the large pool of the hilltop villa to swim - because the other villa pools are sadly to small for proper swimming. Plunging is fine... I hope they will open the Hilltop Villa permanently for all guests!
But anyway: Six Senses Yao Noi is highly recommended for a visit, for the sheer magical beauty of the scenery!
My wife is nodding in agreement about the open bathroom issue - mosquitoes!
