WARNING: DO NOT STAY AT THIS hotel !! This hotel is by far the worst hotel I have been to in six continents and over 70 countries. The level of incompetence and deception is mine boggling. From the beginning of the booking process which was a nightmare . From the website stating that there may be a transfer or surcharge fee to get from the airport to the island. That surcharge fee$100 US exceed the room price of $75 a night. From booking the hotel through Hotels.com and paying in full , when I called the hotel they had no record of my booking even though I gave them my name & hotels.com and booking number. I spent over three hours trying to make the arrangements to get the pick up from the airport to taking the boat to the island. Which they also do not tell you that you're on a boat ride for over one hour& taxi ride on the island. The hotel will not allow cancellation or changes in your reservation if you can get through to them . They don't pick up their phones or answer their emails from hotels.com or for over 3 days , I tried repeatedly for three days also for them to call back or respond to their emails which they didn't. Don't just take my word for it , look at every bad review posted at hotels.com on how poor this hotel is . This is not a vacation location you want to go to! Unless maybe you want a vacation in hell ! A vacation is supposed to be happy and positive experience this hotel is 180° opposite to that in every way .

I thought this resort was a bit overpriced for Thailand. It was sold as a resort and it is definitely more of a Hotel. We paid just over £90 per night for the Honeymoon View villa, which was a very basic villa. Double bed with old mosquito net, basic shower, cheap/basic mini bar, not very good TV - the sound was so quiet we couldn't even use it. It wasn't very Honeymoon like at all. It wasn't very private as it was right next to the hotel restaurant and bar, so we could hear everything. It was sold as having great views however all we could see was the restaurant and the canvas cocktail bar. Which was a shame as we had a "private" astroturf balcony. The room came with breakfast which wasn't very clear to us. It was also a very basic breakfast. The staff were very helpful with sorting out issues, serving food & drinks, and organising travel back to the airport on the mainland. It had two pools, we didn't use the pools as they were smaller than we thought and busy during the days we were there. The beach was great for walking and watching the sea rise. However, it wasn't really a swimming or sunbathing beach. It is very easy to get private boat trips from the beach which were a great price. Perfect for seeing all the island and surrounding beaches.

Greeted very well with a drink and flannel to cool down, Our room was good with an enormous bed. Could well sleep x4 if needed. Breakfast ended up well but should have been told how to order the breakfast in the first place. Staff didn’t mention it to us and we had to ask about it. We just thought it was a buffet style breakfast at first glance and that was it. Had to order the main breakfast after the buffet first. Just would have been good to know that to start. Overall had a good nights sleep and enjoyed it there.

Right on the eastern side of the island with a sandy beach within minutes of the room. The hotel staff rent motorbikes, help book trips, and have us two bottles of water everyday. There is a pier right in front of the hotel with instant access to long boats for sea travel. There were a few ants that invaded the bathroom but they wash away easily. The only real drawback was that the room got a little hot during the day. But, a pool is on site to cool down if needed. A good place to relax and experience a quiet tropical island.

This place is too expensive for what you get. The hotel has great potential but doesn't live up to the expectations. Some of the staff is friendly, others not so. The swimming pool is great and clean and the nearby beach doesn't have too many visitors (This may change as two resorts are being built on the beach). The room we had was a "superior room". There was a horrible smell of humidity in the bathroom and the toilet kept making a lot of noise. After asking to fix this they smile and say yes but they don't do anything about it. The hotel has too high prices for extra services. It's better to rent a scooter at the tourist office right next to the hotel. Laundry is paid per piece, while you can find a shop that does your laundry for 50 baht per kilo down the road. Almost nobody from the staff speaks or understands English. Proactivity is not something in their book either. At breakfast for example the bowl of fruit was empty and the staff was just staring at it. If you don't ask for more they would just stand there all day. Long story short, too expensive for what you get, won't be back.
