Then add Far Eastern Economic Review, it was published in Sept 03 The copy for this should read:        "Discerning travellers no longer want monstrous and busy lobbies"...Take the Aleenta Resort, where owner has created her "ideal beach house," free of phones and other distractions...It's all truly individual and the scale...size, or the lack of, does not necessarily define hip or "highly individual places," term made famous by Herbert Ypma in his Hip Hotels guidebooks. Location and design are also integral. Aleenta is Thai in context (traditional squid boats glow on the horizon at sunset) but free of Thai cliches. The tactched roofing and frangipani blossoms give a Pacific feel; the rendered white concrete adds a touch of the Mediterranean; the main infinity-edge pool has the feel of a Greek isle. A few steps away, an open-kitchen restaurant...completing the synthesis of Thai and international design...(with) the philosophy - small, stylish and personalized, Aleenta reinterprets the Thai beach aesthetic Published in July 03
