The
Englishmans Retreat first opened its doors on October
1st 2007. The concept was realized and built by the current
owners Ornuma and Glyn. The guest house comprises of 8 double
rooms, a studio apartment and a self contained 2 bedroom apartment.
The whole
feel of the place is very private. One guest actually said
he felt he was staying in a private villa, referring to the
way his room opened on to the swimming pool terrace, and how
he couldnt hear the coming-and-going of other residents,
like that of larger hotels.
Being
run and managed by the owners, who also live within the complex,
you will find a more professional and personal feel to the
attention you receive during your stay. its much
easier to take care of 10 people than it is to care for 200,
says Ornuma.
The bar
and restaurant has a very relaxed feel, and being pool-side
its naturally cooler than other outside eateries. Service
here is second to none, after-all we didn't name this place
'The Retreat' for name-sake. The food is always prepared to
perfection, but please don't take our word for it, just check
out our customer
comments.
The menu
has been purposely kept simple, Ornuma states its
better to have a small selection prepared good than a large
selection prepared bad. The prices are also very reasonable,
and that goes for the drinks as well. Where else can you get
a Full-English Breakfast for 99bt or a large bottle of beer
for just 50bt?
