Lonely Planet review

This sophisticated retreat has a three-storey hotel, and several free-standing bungalows made from imported teak rice barges whose bows have been transformed into stunning patios. Oxidized copper cannons blast streams of water into the boat-shaped swimming pool.This resort may be a bit too themey for fans of restrained minimalism but people who want a luxury resort with a sense of fun need look no further. The large, well-styled hotel rooms are amply luxurious but the boat house rooms are tops - each has a TV lounge, a wood-panelled bedroom, and a private terrace on the back deck. The boats are 'moored' in a lush tropical garden that would make David Bellamy proud. The luxury hotel facilities include a spa, a beachfront restaurant, a watersports and diving centre, and, of course, that pirate ship-shaped swimming pool, complete with cannon-shaped water jets. It's wonderfully over-the-top and all the more inviting because of it.
