@Toppcat – to echo @LadyLondon , thank you for such a detailed review; if only all non-professional reviewers added as much value as you have. The bottom line, as I read it, is that the hotel just isn’t good enough in its category/price bracket and this is in a worrying trend as hotels have spotted just how many guests don’t know better. You should share your views with Neil Jacobs, CEO of Six Senses. He was a seriously brilliant hotelier and pioneer, but I fear he has succumbed to the IHG shilling. He will personally respond and he definitely needs to know the many crucial points you have made, good and bad.

Personally, I don’t think brands like Six Senses or Regent sit at all well in a global chain and the mess that is Intercontinental speaks volume about the priorities and standards of IHG plc.

Agree wholeheartedly with this; but voted with my wallet. After a terrible Christmas at “Six Senses” uluwatu – another post IHG resort with no GEM’s and hotel room blocks. In Uluwatu I didn’t eat on Christmas Day as restaurant was booked out – no gem so no warning, no one answered room service line; my villa started to fall apart in rain and had broken tiles in the shower. Since then Aman has bene getting my money most vacations. Though I gave SS Koh Yao Noi a go in May; its a classic Six Senses, peaceful quiet low density hotel with GEMs, very wooden room and epic view. Though it desperately need refurbishing and the resort needed fogging; comparing mosquitos bytes was a topic of conversation in the bar most nights.
