The best bit was the (mostly) Burmese-speaking staff - they were excellent. Property infrastructure maintenance is not what you would expect for a facility showing its age.
Aluminium plate pool loungers are the hardest and least comfortable ever encountered. 25mm thick foam pads did not lessen the discomfort. Do not know how some visitors could stand them for hours at a time. Am sure they have tons of repeat customers who absolutely love lounging by the pool and staring at the grey wall.
Only a single plastic chair in a supposed 5-star AUD$800/ night luxury room?
Included breakfast was passable, however not 5-star. (Check the way the bread is sliced) Again, the mostly Myanmar and Thai staff went out of their way to be accommodating in the restaurant and were the most redeeming feature of the property - otherwise it would be a 3 star overall. The pizza was very good, as were other normal menu items tried outside of breakfast hours. The only access to what is left of the beach after the typhoon in 23 or 24 is pathetic. Concrete steps that lead to a fabricated steel access structure at the last half metre to the sand - very poor. The gym was reasonably equipped, although the workout area was quite small and you needed to pick your time to avoid crowding. Nothing of note within walking distance of property.
But other than the staff, the view over the private pool onto the ocean was a 5 star for us. (As long as you didn't sit on the lounger too long)
Our room with a pool and ocean view was wonderful! The view was amazing! Our bed was very comfortable! The food at this resort is delicious and beautifully plated. The breakfast buffet was wonderful and every dinner was delicious!
The hotel was stunning. Breath taking views. Super clean. Staff were very friendly, efficient and accommodating. Could not fault a thing about the hotel and staff. My only concern was it was a little far out to the main restaurant areas like Fisherman's Village etc. but they do offer a shuttle bus to drop you and pick you up.
Wonderful quiet resort along the beach. Hotel staff were so friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend. Complimentary breakfast had lots of choice for everyone.
We were attracted by the Adults only feature mainly but found the resort to be next level with great staff, food and ammenities. A beautiful view also.
We had a had a lovely stay at Explorar during Easter. Excellent staff with shout outs to Tikki by the pool and Joy and Kate in reception who made it such a special experience. Also the bar staff and waiters were all exceptional. The service was quite slow - especially for the special meals such as Easter dinner. We also noticed on that occasion that the people who were indulging in the bottles of wine got more attention! There are only limited options outside the hotel but you can access various beach bars. The shuttle to Fisherman’s village was a nice touch but as it was always full it was difficult to get on. Overall we would recommend
Everything about the property was good.
Joi/Nit from the front desk was so friendly and helpful. Always greeted with a smile.
Garfield and Ing greeted us with a smile too during our daily bfast. It was lovely to be able to bring our drinks to the deck chairs as well. Only thing is that the mushroom/broccoli served was a little too salty.
Room was taken care well by Joy/Nee.
Would love to be back to stay in your property.
Explorar is really great, after 12 days couldn’t fault it. Staff are lovely and resort is amazing. Only suggestion would be that they should run the activities like yoga etc daily rather than weekly and they should run more shuttles to the market and chaweng.
