    It was hot in the room with fan only, the room was not spacious.

    The place and the scenery made it an unforgettable stay!

    The toilets didn't work. There were three problems with the toilet in the room: 1. The handheld bidet faucet, bidet spray gun, toilet spray, .., gave a very little water. You could wet your hands; but it was completely impossible to wash the rear. Only after several days of complaints was it changed. 2. The toilet was constructed incorrectly. There were notes above all the toilets in the hotel saying that you should not leave material in the toilet. (Water is also material.) But - even when there was a flow in the drain - it was almost impossible to flush out more solid material. Here approx. 10 flushes in the toilet in the room was necessary. The water (and the material) just swirled around in the toilet bowl when flushing. The first night it took over an hour to flush out the solid material. After that, I only used the shared toilets at the restaurant for toilet visits when solid material had to be delivered. 3. The drain did not work - at most times of the day. The septic tank ran apparently full. I understood that it was a problem arising from the building of the hotel. Disorderly storage in buildings right around the reception does not seem so appealing.

    We prefer such a location: quiet, a little away from the hustle and bustle of the center, and among nature and trees. The room was big and clean. We really enjoyed the pool. The breakfast was average. At the airport in Krabi we found a mini-van going to Ao Nang: 600 Bath for 3 people.

    Bathrooms a bit poor quality, sometimes water from shower did not come properly. Renovation of the bathrooms would be necessary.

    Nice wodden cottages style resort in Ao Nang sorrounded by nature. Bit further from main street, I recommend to everyone that wants to relax and disconnect from typical crowded touristic places. Loved the pool by the cliff, with sounds of the birds and monkeys around;)...good breakfast and very kind staff. The have shuttle bus going to the beach every 2 hours.

    The bathroom tiles could have a modern fresh up and the room would be rounded up with a small fridge.

    The room is quite basic, but absolutely clean and comfortable, equipped with essentials such as towels, some simple bathroom amenities and free water. I had a great stay, nothing special, but absolutely okay for my single trip. I liked the cute wood huts and the pool surrounded by a serene field of nature the most. Would definitely come back.

    There was no mosquito net but a lot of spots for mosquitos to go inside the bungalow. The fan was extraordinarily loud and the lights on the path outside stayed on all night. Not much sleep for me...

    I liked the garden, the pool, and the fact that it's not located in a busy area.

    After reading the reviews I was very sceptical and afraid we will be disappointed but we were very positively surprised! The rooms were big, with big comfy beds, the whole resort was great, you could really feel like in a jungle. A bit far away from city centre (which was great for us) and Free transport to the beach

    Only certain rooms have air conditioning, ours just had a fan which made it slightly uncomfortable sleeping in the room as it was very hot but other than that everything was great.

    The pool was lovely and a really nice way to cool off from the heat, the bartender at the pool was also lovely and his cocktails were fab. The location while a little outside the main area was great for a bit more peace and quiet and it's very easy to get a grab / taxi to the main area

    The whole resort is slightly outdated and needs a bit of love. But it’s still amazing and great value for money.

    Based in the middle of the jungle, surrounded by lush flora, animals and insects. You should book bungalow with air con, not because of the air-con per se, but because these bungalows are quite larger and definitely worth paying £10 or 10 EUR extra per day. Pool is just amazing.

    The bungalow were a little run-down on the inside. not many power-points, ok bathroom and bed. It's located in a beautiful spot, but a little far from town. I had a scooter so this was not an issue for me, but would be difficult to hire rides if you wanted to leave the hotel often.

    Breakfast was good, in a beautiful open-air setting. the Monkey's were entertaining but eager to steal your food if you weren't paying attention :) Accommodation is in cute individual bungalows set in a jungle like grounds. The pool is pretty, and situated at the base of the striking cliffs that give the hotel it's name.

    The resort could do with some care and attention. Building piled up woth storage stuff in plain sight. Not many facilities on resort but a great pool

    The resort is located in a fantastic jungle like area with easy transportation links to the nightlife/market areas. The staff were very pleasant a d helpful and always had a smile. A special mention goes out to the pool bar man. Absolutely great guy who goes above and beyond. The theme of the rooms are great and it's nice and quiet at night.

    The rooms are a bit old now, and the bedsheets/towels had stains. We even managed to trip the power by turning on the geyser and A/C at the same time. It's what it is I guess.

    The location is amazing blooming with all sorts of plants and trees. You get a very cozy vibe and you feel very calm and peaceful. The staff was also very helpful and took care of all our needs promptly.

    The bed wasn't comfortable at all. You can feel the springs when you lie down. Me and my partner woke up with back pain. The resort should deffinetly update the mattresses.

    The pool area is absolutely stunning! It's surrounded by cliffs and forest, such a relaxing and peaceful spot! There is a bar next to the pool. The owner of the bar is absolutely lovely. The resort staff was really friendly as well. We booked a cooking class through the hotel, which we loved.

    The bungalows are not very modern. The fridge is only turned on when your key is in the power point inside the room - when leaving for the day some of our foods in the fridge went bad as it wasn't on..

    Absolutely stunning location, and amazing surroundings in the resort. Very relaxing environment and a nice pool area.

    It was nice, but for value of money I think you can do better. Nothing particularly great about the place, and my room had a shared balcony with another room and directly connected, so you could hear everything next door. Not a bad place, but expected better.

    Breakfast could be improved a lot. Especially the coffee and fruit selection. The egg station was nice and they made fried eggs or omelets on demand.

    Everything was great and as expected. The reviews of this place are quite accurate. It is a bit worn down, there might be some spiderwebs or mosquitos in the room and the shower pressure might not be awesome, but all in all, it's a really nice place and would definitely stay again. Nice hard bed, a great location, and awesome jungle surroundings. Location just enough outside from ao nang noise but not too far for a walk to the beach or main street (about 25-30min to the beach, 10-15 to main street). The pool area and the bartender are super nice and all services are available at reception(scooter rent, shuttle, laundry, trips, etc). You won't find a 5-star jungle resort there but if you go in with the expectation of not looking for one then you will definitely enjoy your stay! We stayed for 5 nights and would really want to stay more in the future!
