Pool room was worth it!

Fabulous pool room with amazing views, the room absolutely made this stay for us! some minor tweaks to make this a 5 star - getting our own welcome drink and doing our own check in was a bit odd for a 5 star and WhatsApp messages weren’t replied to for hours. No bar to get a drink at, you have to sit at a table in a restaurant and then get quizzed on where you are going with your drink.

Beautiful and quiet

The rooms are spacious, with good solid wooden funitures. Though aged and used they still looked nice and worked well. Bed was neither hard nor soft. The aircondition had a life of it's own. The view from the resort is stunning. The breakfast is fine, but crowdy, and the appearance of local music every morning from 08:00, was adding to the feeling of crowdiness and unneeded noise. In order to get around the resort, you depend on shuttle busses, since the hilly roads and paths are extremely steep. It's a fine service, but it's quite impractical, and for us, would be the reason not to go back to this resort. The area around the resort offered very few choices for dining outside the resort. This is a real quiet location, and you will need taxi, scooter or boat to explore beyond the tiny village.

Beautiful hotel and very relaxing! The service was excellent, the staff were friendly. We enjoyed yoga, kayaking and watching fire dancing all included in the experience. The food was ok and expensive for Thailand. Would highly recommend the experience as the views were incredible and the private bath on the balcony was perfect.

A beautiful hotel hidden in the nature

We have really enjoyed our stay. It is the second time we come, and the hotel and his situation is always wonderful. We had a room in the hotel 3 next to the breakfast at the top of the hill, amazing view on the ocean. You will need a shuttle , (free) to go to the beach(3-4 minutes) and the lobby. It is not a problem, you never wait. We had dinner all the evening in the Japanese restaurant which is delicious and not so expensive next to the beach. I recommend hardly. Caroline

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. We went here for a portion of our honeymoon in Thailand and it really was everything we had imagined it would be. Breathtaking views from our room and all around the property. Food is phenomenal , with a massive selection making it easy to never leave the resort. The beach has access to plenty of other restaurants and a busy walking street with shops and restaurants. The staff were incredible, special shout out to the Muay Thai class which was such an amazing experience to learn from a real fighter and it was free!!! Highly recommend if you're the type that likes to get some exercise on vacation. The koi ponds were stunning. The hotel offers a 2 seater side car motorcycle for rent which was so much fun. The roads on the island are in great condition and not very busy so its the perfect opportunity to try it out if you're not an experienced motorcycle rider. I could go on for a long time, but I think you get the jist of it. Just go here its worth it. Consider taking a ferry/speedboat from a pier if you dont want to do the compulsory speedboat or cant like in our case we were coming from Krabi.
