sounds like it exceeded expectation you had when you booked?
There were zero noise issues after the first night, when the Russian wedding took place on the mainland. Those happen about twice a year apparently and Aman were proactive in getting the police called over there. This wouldn't factor into my rationale when selecting a cottage.
I was in a regular cottage
#11 and it was far larger than I was expecting, the layout was super spacious.
The stay most definitely exceeded my expectations (even before this thread came to light). In a lot of ways I preferred this stay to Amanoi. Where Amanoi is essentially a refined version of the Conrad Koh Samui, Sveti Stefan is quite literally peerless.
