Would return in a heartbeat. Beautiful hotel set in amongst breathtaking views of trees & mountains set right upon the beach. On arriving we met RV who was so helpful & nothing too much trouble always full of smiles & just wants his guests to have the best holiday possible he’s an absolute gem. Reception staff Blossom & her team were amazing too always on hand to help with everything you need. We originally booked a deluxe spa room but decided to upgrade to a higher floor which included premium lounge access this included complimentary mini bar(soft drinks) and cocktails, soup & snacks at the lounge. Our room was absolutely beautiful with stunning views of the ocean which was the 1st thing you see when you open your eyes. Bathroom was a huge wet room with a rainfall shower & freestanding bath. Jacuzzi was on the sundeck which we used every night to watch the sunset. Our housekeeper Da did an amazing job everyday making sure our room was immaculate & she so lovely bringing me flowers throughout my stay. Pool was beautiful with an infinity pool & jacuzzi attached & is 10 steps to the beach. Pool is ideal if you aren’t a strong swimmer as think it was only 1m3 throughout. Shuttle buggy’s take you to and from room if needed. Breakfast is fantastic with a ton of choices from egg station, bacon, sausage, pastries & muffins, trail meals, Indian meals, hot/cold coffee fruit juices. Absolutely spoilt for choice. Can’t thank the staff enough for making my holiday as perfect & special as they did. You are a credit to your hotel. ❤️
Please note - only way to get to & from island is by complimentary shuttle boat on floating jetty which I was really nervous about but needn’t have worried as staff were so helpful assisting or you can go through monkey trail hike which will be an issue if you have mobility problems

a perfect blend of luxury and nature. Nestled in a secluded bay, the resort is only accessible by boat, adding to its exclusivity. The spacious rooms feature stunning sea views, and the dining options are excellent, especially the beachfront experience at Lotus Court. With a beautiful pool, relaxing spa, and various activities like kayaking and snorkeling, there's something for everyone. The staff’s warm hospitality further enhances the experience

This is a 3 star hotel at best. Not recommended.
Pros:
- amazing and picturesque location
- nice beach
- fun hike to get into town
- large rooms
- big hot tub on the balcony with amazing views
- the hike into town was nice, not too difficult. It was a great way to stay active.
- some of the staff were awesome, super friendly.
Cons:
- no one greets you at arrival. When you reach with the boat, there was no one to guide you where to go for check in or to show the property. All guests who arrived on the boat were left confused.
- my partner and I both got food poisoning. The resort is quite secluded, so we ended up having to pay (23,000 Baht) for a doctor to hike to us as the hotel didn’t have any medical staff or even basic equipment.
- the rooms were nice and large, but were falling apart. Our room had scuffs and scratches everywhere. Our furniture on the balcony was all moldy, and never replaced, even after asking multiple times over 7 days.
- beach was quite dirty
- TV didn’t work, was never fixed
- extremely slow internet
- anytime we ordered anything; food, towels etc. it never showed up, even after following up multiple times.
- Pool is very small and always completely full, not enough loungers. We couldn’t use it once on our 7 day trip.
- keycards stopped working multiple times.
- 50/50 between good and really bad, lazy staff.
- weak and moldy smelling AC
- They take many large tour groups which, with its small resort size, makes the hotel feel extremely chaotic.
We brought up all of these issues multiple times to the reception, duty manager, and general manager. Each time we were assured it would be fixed. It never was. In fact, behind us a line of 6-7 guests formed all to complain. They would listen to us for 5 minutes, and then we’d never hear from them again. I even sent them an email after our stay, hoping this was an isolated case. I never received a response. They don’t care.
Overall, I would not recommend this resort. Its location is incredible, this could be a $1,000 a night hotel if it was run by Ritz or Four Seasons. But it seems that management has decided to coast on its location alone, not spending money on improvements or general maintenance. Generally, it seemed most of the staff were not motivated, and instead tried to avoid any guests.
To see how much they care, just read the responses from the manager. Every response is the exact same. “Sorry that happened, thanks for visiting”. No questions, no suggestions, just a boilerplate reply that means nothing and is done only because this is publicly visible.

Fabulous location if a little isolated so not great if you don't like being 'trapped ' into using the hotel's facilities, which are more expensive and narrower in choice. A 15 minute walk gets you to the local town ( via steep stairs up and down through the national park).
The private beach is a huge plus.
Staff as in Thailand generally were very helpful. When we arrived in our cold climate clothes we had to wait 4 hours before we were allocated a room, this could have been better managed. The rooms are quite old now and a little 'tired'.

Our experience was similar to what others already noted as well. The location is beautiful. We met a bunch of friends here so overall we had a great time together. But the hotel has pretty glaring issues: rooms are very outdated, our toilet kept breaking and the room smelled, keys stopped working every day. I thought the staff was trying to be helpful, but they just weren’t. Spa was nice, food is ok at best. You could have a great time here, just expect a 3 star hotel experience- definitely nowhere close to a 5 star hotel. If refurbished it would be amazing.
