My stay at the AAVA Resort and Spa was truly unforgettable. Nestled on the stunning Nadan Beach, the resort offers a mix of Scandinavian design and warm Thai hospitality. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, and the restaurant serves some of the best Thai food I've ever tasted. However, I did notice that while the service is generally good, there might be room for improvement in terms of personal attention. Overall, it's a little slice of paradise, but with a few quirks.
