The Redditor had a wonderful experience at the Thai resort, mentioning, ※It was absolutely stunning." ※The grounds were beautiful, the beach was perfect, the breakfast was amazing, and the staff were incredibly kind.§
They stayed in one of the hillside villas with sweeping ocean views and confirmed that much of what＊s seen on the show is true to the resort＊s design and layout. They even dined at Koh Thai Kitchen, the resort＊s cliffside restaurant, which is featured heavily in the series.

A bit disappointing if you're hoping for a plot twist.§
