Paradise Found, A superb stay

The villa with a plunge pool was fabulous I found it clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and ensured restful nights. This created such a relaxing environment and the patio offered a gorgeous view of the water. The golf cart service was quick. It reduced the walk to the beach.

After a previous visit I hoped to recapture the wonder. Pimalai has matured into the beauty any-one would wish for. Natural beauty stands the test of time. This resort has become an expression of calm.
I find language barriers an issue. Staff needed several people to translate. It seemed communication was impossible, even using translate apps.
