Absolutely stunning!

Cape Fahn has intrigued me since it opened four years ago. A small Thai chain it is bookable via SLH and now Hyatt.

We had booked this pre Covid and finally made it this year.

I originally booked a Deluxe Ocean Villa on a hald board package, primarily because we had no itention of leaving the hotel that is on its own private island. I communicated with the hotel my preference for a quiet room with privacy and a good view.
 

We were driven from the airport to a Hospitality Lounge on the shore of the mainland. From there a special truck took us 2 mins across shallow water.

I could hear a wedding from the mainland and I began to dread the stay. I'm a light sleeper and given there are only 22 villas I was concerned we wouldn't be able to escape the noise.

I did tell the hotel that I was a Glob, despite booking direct.

Check in was swift, they didn't even take a cc pre auth because I prepaid. I asked if we would hear the wedding from the room and the check in agent assured us we would not and we were upgraded to the Horizon Pool Villa.

Because of the late PG flight ex SIN, we arrived at 10PM. I hate arriving at beach destinations at night when you can't see the view, but upon entering the private gates of the villa I knew the stay was going to be special.

The Villa is 350sqm and all of the bay windows completely open for a true indoor/outdoor living experience. The villas are decorated in neutral tones, everything is of a high quality and even the a/c is discreetly hidden.

The pool is 10 x 3 metres and we had completely unobstructed views of the ocean.

The room type came with complimentary mini bar (including two beers) and every night housekeeping left a little turndown gift.

The villa is one of the nicest I've experienced and it is as memorable as the Pool Villas at the FS Hoi An and the Cliff Villa at the RC Bali.

The service has blown me away. It rivals FS or Rosewood in terms of attentiveness, the willingness of the staff to go above ans beyond and responsiveness of requests.

They have their own app which is how I primarily communicated all requests.

Anything you request is delivered within 5 mins. All of the staff know our names and our dietary requirements. Meals had dietary substitutions already arranged for us.

When we arrived they sent up club sandwhiches after check in because we missed dinner. This set the tone for the entire stay.

I certainly didn't expect this luxury level of service.

The food is exceptional. Long D'Tai has a Michelin Star, however the quality of the food extends to Hue and room service as I believe it all comes from the same kitchen.

Sparkling Wine is offered at breakfast and there's an extensive menu.

On one night it was raining so the staff proactively sent us the menu and delivered all three courses and cocktails to our room.

We never saw more than three other couples at breakfast or dinner.

Overall, Cape Fahn is a truly unique and special property. It exceeded all of my expectations.

The service, rooms and complete experience make it a slice of Heaven on Earth and we will definitely return.

We enjoyed this far more than the PH Maldives Hadahaa.
