Perhaps it is the beautiful sea that surrounds it with the gentle breeze coming off the Andaman Sea. Maybe it is the quaint ambience you get the moment you check in with its somewhat colonial-style interior and comfy rooms that make you never want to leave.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That was exactly how I felt when I checked into the hotel for a recent weekend getaway.
