Cape Sienna is a very modern hotel...
Cape Sienna is a very modern hotel with luxurious feel. There are two restaurants and one rooftop bar. Great ambience. however, the food is quite pricey for what you get (although the food is good in general). The location of the hotel is less than ideal. Shuttle services are provided daily until 6p.m. to the nearest beach. however, if you want to go an extra mile to a diff. beach, the hotel is certainly not shy about charging 300 baht for one way fare. The hotel even trierd to charge me 1200 baht for my airport limousine pick-up. The only problem was that the limousine never showed. It was a shuttle bus and they still charged me 800 baht, when I could have taken a nicer car for 600 baht.
Housekeeping could also do a better job, as many times I had to pick up the trash myself. The sink was also never cleaned. It was just very sloppy (and not to mention dozens of mosquitos flying around in the room everyday)
Food is probably the highlight of my stay there. However, way too pricey for what I got.
Service was hit or miss. There were a couple of female receptionists who should not be working in the hospitality industry. Also, for a luxury hotel as such, one would expect English-speaking staff. That wasn't quite the case there. Half of the time, staff had problems understanding what I was trying to say.
All in all, there was just a complete lack of consistency during my entire stay. I also felt like this luxury hotel was trying to 'nickel and dime" the guests. which should never be the case in a luxury hotel. people pay extra to stay in nice places for the overall experience. however, i feel that my experience there all came down to money, i.e. how food/bev welcoming coupon could never be applied to hotel events. I also could not use my welcome drink voucher at the poolside bar, which i found it very unreasonable. A welome drink is a welcome drink, why are guests being restricted towhere they can have that drink (oh, yes, and they never called me when I asked for the wake-up call, which made me miss a day tour). i would only go back if they improve the overall service, value, experience, and have no kids allowed.
