i enjoyed my xmas stay. the hotel offered various activities. i watched my husband learn muay thai from mr aod after breakfast. the xmas evening was pleasant, and i recommend this hotel.
the spa promotion i booked was confusing. the receptionist tried to change my package, and the manager was unaware of the details. there was no sincere apology for the issue, even after i reported it.

multiple pools available beach bed preoccupied staff impersonal check-in
I enjoyed the multiple pools available. There were four in total. finding an available beach bed was never a problem (that was a pleasant surprise!).
The reception staff seemed a bit preoccupied. Some were constantly looking at their computers (it lacked a personal touch). the check-in process focused more on the app they wanted me to download. (i didn't get much information otherwise).
