I had a wonderful stay at The Namkhan, where the serene atmosphere and attentive staff really stood out. The villa I stayed in was elegant and comfortable, although the bathroom could use better water pressure. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring farm-fresh ingredients from their own garden, but I did wish for a bit more convenience with plug sockets at table level. Overall, it was a good retreat with minor areas to improve.
