Grand Ocean View Room

The entry point to the ladder, and the room most people are handed on arrival: up to 81 square metres, an oversized king under 300-thread-count linen, and a wall of glass giving a full sweep of the Andaman. The terrace outside is built to be used rather than looked at — wide enough for a table, a chair and the resort's own canopied daybed — and plenty of guests eat breakfast out there rather than at Cosmo.

The bathroom runs to a deep freestanding tub and a walk-in rain shower, with a fresh set of the resort's own toiletries. It takes up to 3 adults, or 2 adults and 1 child.
