Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Although sold out with a wait list, they would not refund my emergent cancellation 8 days ahead. I went in person to cancel because they wouldn’t even answer Expedia’s attempts. I looked at their booking screen, and it was clear that they wanted to rent my room to someone else while charging me for the same room as well.
I surveyed the property. The quiet private beach is their main asset. It is a 15 minute walk from the busy part of the island. The rooms have a colonial style, which had some charm, but needs some updating.
We stayed 4 nights and loved it. The Chino room was both beautiful and restful. Loved the surroundings and the beach …. But, it was chaotic in knowing how to get to the island resort (hotel instructions are not clear) and then finding that the restaurant by the stunning beach only operated certain hours was a shock. But we made the most of it and would be back in a second if we could.

Where to start?
Perfect location, great bay, dream views.
But that’s about it.
The facilities need renovation, poor maintenance of gardens and surroundings.
Unprofessional management.
Abandoned equipment and furniture laying in corners, garbage bags. Plastic on the beach.
The resort goes for a desperate ‘everything extra’ policy.. want to paddle.. 500 half an hour, need a life vest.. 50 extra.. toilet 20.. (but sign only.. they did not actually charge for toilet use).
Big issue is that hotel guests and groups of day-trip visitors just does not go well together.
8 sunbeds w. topper in first row.. well.. blocked by visitors. Visitors called to gather by whistle.. very romantic . garbage bags left behind..garbage still around after 2 days.
Der Strand ist traumhaft, bei Flut wird allerdings viel Plastik angespült, das nicht weggeräumt wird. Sanitäre Anlagen beim Restaurant eklig, Restaurantpersonal war sehr nett und essen kann man dort auch sehr gut.
Die Anlage lebt von der Lage am schönsten Strand.
Paradiset, fantastiskt vackert hotell med så fin strand, romantiskt och tyst och avkopplande ! Vi rekommenderar att ni äter pastan på menyn, vi åkte ofta till den andra stranden på förmiddagen ( vid centrum ) den hade klarare vatten, sedan på eftermiddagen var vid vid hotellet för deras strand var också jättefin ! Åk hit ! Tips hyr vespa och utforska vi såg vilda vattenbufflar och stora varaner
Nous avons passé un bon sejour. L'hôtel est immense et bien calme.
Le petit déjeuner est léger mais bon. Chambre très propre.
Personnel est tres sympathique
L'arrivée et le départ sont très bien organisés, le personnel agréable et le restaurant bon et à prix raisonnable. Mais il n'y a pas de rideaux aux fenêtres de la chambre donc réveil à 6h tous les matins. La clim est extrêmement bruyante. Et le corail de la plage a entièrement disparu, ne comptez pas faire de jolie baignade avec masque tuba.
Sengene var lige til den hårde side og hovedpuderne var meget hårde. Stort ser alle værelser havde en hengemt lugt….
Men dejligt stille og roligt. Swimmingpoolen, sand og hav var forrygende☀️
We were welcomed on to the boat by Peach who was just the best host and made sure we had everything needed for our stay. The island is breath taking and food and service were both great. We will definitely be visiting again

good hotel
We had a chino room next to the pool. It was a clean and spacious room (+ no spiders detected!). The pool area is very nice, peaceful and relaxing. Overall, we liked the hotel a lot.
Vilket fantastiskt ställe! - Edens lustgård?
Med en härlig pool, i en fantastisk trädgård och till det en i det närmaste egen vit korallsandsstrand känns det som man har hamnat i paradiset. Vi njöt till fullo här i fem dagar, åt vid stranden, blev "ompysslade" av personalen och sov i ett härligt stort rum vid poolen.
Hotellet är det enda som ligger vid denna underbara strand (som dessutom kan erbjuda väldigt bra snorkling :) ) ! Söker ni härlig natur, lugn och ro och en känsla av lyx så kan vi varmt rekommendera detta.

Site et plage magnifiques et beaux bâtiments dans un jardin bien entretenu, belle piscine, mais chambres et équipements décevants.
Les chambres: Chambre et salle de bains spacieuses mais pas de grand miroir dans la salle de bains, un simple petit miroir rond d'appoint, robinetterie du lavabo vétuste et rouillée, très faible éclairage dans les 2 pièces, un seul chevet et pas de lampe de chevet, réfrigérateur et climatisation très bruyants.
Les équipements: pas de matelas sur les transats en plastique de la plage très inconfortables, bar de la piscine jamais ouvert.
Le restaurant: carte pas très variée mais plats bons et copieux, mais un gros bémol: alors qu'ils proposent des barbecues, ils ne savent pas l'utiliser; on a attendu 45 mn un poisson grillé qui n'est jamais arrivé en nous disant qu'ils n'avaient pas réussi à le faire cuire!
Les transferts: catastrophique au retour. Nous avions réservé et eu confirmation de l'aller retour, voiture de l'aéroport à l'embarcadère puis bateau jusqu'à l'ile. Tout s'est bien passé à l'aller, mais au retour, ils ont refusé de nous emmener en disant qu'on n'avait pas réservé la navette aéroport pour le retour. Nous avons dû nous débrouiller par nos propres moyens à la dernière minute et failli rater l'avion.Comportement inadmissible et très mauvaise organisation. On ne sait même pas s'ils nous l'ont facturé car ils ont refusé de nous donner la facture détaillée lors du check out.
Great place for snorkeling and really clean and beautiful beach. Also the swimming pool was good.

Not coming back
Okay stay. Wi-Fi wasn't available due to the heavy rain. Seafood buffet (899THB per person) was not good. I wouldn't call this seafood buffet. Waste of money. Frontdesk staff speak English but others don't. The beach in front is too shallow to swim and no fish around. Breakfast was no many choises.
The room was ok. I would not come back for this hotel.
