This is for a hotel in Thailand, near Krabi; It is very quiet and remote. The manager of the house, a tomcat, definitely contributes positively to this   |

Mmm. Is the tomcat reference to felines or slang for humans with certain behaviors.

Methinks the person who wrote that does not master English to the extent the use of the expression might imply.

Still on the subject of cats in Thai hotel reviews, here is a complaint about the World Cat Beach & Resort:

"to get stoned" means to get high - so that hotel seems to deliver cannabis on request.
