Many have balconies and sea views; the villas add kitchens and private pools, and selected suites have spa baths. Air conditioning and private bathrooms feature across the room types.

Two swimming pools sit among the gardens, alongside a fitness centre, tennis courts and Diamond Spa, which offers massage treatments and beauty therapies. Dining includes four restaurants and four bars serving international, Thai, Japanese, Italian and seafood dishes. A buffet breakfast is available, and a complimentary shuttle runs across the hillside resort grounds, where some routes involve slopes or stairs.
