Overall
If you want a nice quiet stay then it doesn’t get any better than this resort.
Pros
The view from the beach is spectacular. The best we’ve seen and that includes Aonang beach and Koh Phi Phi. The beach view looks across and out to more than a dozen gorgeous islands jutting out of the sea. It is a view to die for.
The beach itself is soft white sand going slowly into the ocean. You can walk out 100 yards before it’s over your head. And there is great shade under the trees, enough for everyone and for the whole day.
Our room was huge, with a modern shower and bathroom.
The breakfast is the best we’ve had in Thailand. Lots to choose from and a view to end all views from the sitting area.
The staff were friendly and super helpful.
The hotel is beautiful. If you want, you can get a pool access room, which is great if you have really young kids
Cons
If you want lots of restaurant choices, shopping, or a party scene - this is not it. There are 4 resorts on this semiprivate beach and no other services in the area. Each one has a restaurant and there are 2 other restaurants.
The prices in the Anvayee restaurant are on the high end, but you can walk down the beach 200 m for other choices that are more reasonable. You can also get a shuttle into Aonang but we did not feel the need.
We would go back to the Anvayee again. It is very special to us.
