Beautiful property and very friendly staff. We got a pool villa and the ocean view was amazing. Don’t miss the amazing sunsets at the dock. The breakfast buffet was great. We were there for Songkran and they put together a special dinner buffet with entertainment which was really nice. I can’t wait to come back!

Some rooms are quite a long way from the main lobby and pool, restaurants, be prepared for a lot of stairs and waiting for transport to go to pool and main restaurants. The views are spectacular, the resort is beautiful, very big gorgeous pool, not a lot around outside resort, we stayed 4 nights and didn’t venture out, we stayed to relax and not do much, pool and beach. Very chill atmosphere. Would definitely come back but get a better room, as we were in hotel 7 so far away. And so many stairs.

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful time here. Resort is absolutely beautiful with incredible views. It’s well maintained and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Gorgeous, comfortable rooms, fabulous communal pools and great food in the restaurants. Buffet breakfast is really good with a huge variety. A short walk along the beach takes you to a little road where you can find shops selling drinks and snacks for much less than the hotel charges, plus there are stands for roti pancakes (delicious) and fresh fruit smoothies. 50 baht for the pancakes and about 90 for the smoothie. Hotel isn’t cheap by Thai standards but it was for us coming from the UK. It’s a luxury hotel situated on an island so you would expect prices to be higher than other places, but we felt it was still good value. They have people hand carving wooden plaques that you can order and they really are a very special souvenir. Make sure you leave enough time to order as they take two days to make.
