Overall, we felt that the Anantara did not offer good value for money. The rooms were nice and spacious, the grounds, elephant camp and pool lovely but the costs of services in the hotel far too high (drinks cost more than in London!) The location of the hotel was very isolated and this meant you had to eat in the hotel restaurant in the evenings, unless you had your own transport. Service was fine but everything was charged for (£16 to hire two bikes for half a day!) and we felt that, compared to other 5* resorts we stayed at in Thailand, it was not as good (perhaps they should charge less for the services and more for the rooms!). We woud not go back solely due to the costs of everything in the hotel.
