LONELY PLANET 2006
This perennial reader's favourite is located in a sprawling complex that's centred on a beautiful free-form pool surrounded by hammock-strung gardens. Chill-out music completes the mellow ambiemce... you can swim and sun in an urban oasis...international favourites including kebabs, spring rolls and Thai curries. ..The beer flows as the evening wears on, though it's worth stopping by for the 'rainy-day double feature' on the big screen
