Location was spectacular - so remote and perfect. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was really good.

Few lunch options. Having to book spa treatments or jeep tours well in advance as not much availability. Not nearly enough sun beds on the beach.

It was very relaxing.

Most likely this is how Thailand used to be before the mass tourism! Remote island with stunning empty beaches, only a few scattered huts and even a tiny bit of wildlife. We were in love with this place from the very first minute and enjoyed every single one from there on. We like the concept of different unique cottages and were very happy with the one we got. The common areas have so much detail and are a pure joy for the eye. Very friendly and helpful personnel, tasty and rich breakfast, nice food/drinks menu in general and relaxing massages. We found the prices very reasonable for a self independent high-level resort on a remote island (in average a main dish incl. rice for 250-300BHT, I mean we are talking about 7-8€). We were also very satisfied with the quality that we got. It was no problem to share the longtail boat and its costs with other guests. Personally we’d rather pay a bit more to enjoy the remoteness and solitude than to participate from Economies of scale, save 10€ and sit in an overcrowded boat to spend time in an overcrowded place. Thank you again for everything, we will definitely return!

- Food is rather ordinary. Traveling around Thailand sets up the bar quite high, so I was anticipating something more exceptional and local. It is ok if "Western" cuisine is performed poorly, because all in all we are on a remote island in Thailand. However, even though Thai dishes were good and tasty -- they could have been more special. The same could be said about the cocktails. - There is little information provided in advance regarding a particular villa that you are going to stay at. As a result, some things come up as a complete surprise when you check in. Okay, an outdoor shower is predictable. But not scarcity of warm/hot water :( A total game changer was absence of solid walls, which ensured our villa being very very welcoming for insects during the dark hours of the day. Mosquitos and giant beetles could easily access interior space through innumerous cutouts in the wooden panels of facades. "Living close to nature" stopped seeming romantic quite fast. SO! Ask more info about your particular villa after booking! Remember to mention WALLS amongst additional requests! Islander-insects are no joke. - Snorkeling experience could be enhanced if you bring your own equipment.

- Solitude & tranquility. We rarely saw anybody walking along the 11 km shoreline of the beach or swimming during sunset (and sunsets are mind-blowing). That was unbelievably beautiful! The sand is soft and apparently made of crushed seashells, and still intact various colourful seashells are laying around to be admired. - Nature. Did you know there is savannah in Thailand? There is, and a small patch of savannah could be visited on the island. Are you interested in bird-watching? There are eagles, kites, storks flying high up in the sky and hornbills awkwardly jumping between palms and pine-trees here. All this diversity could be explored with binoculars and support of a helpful guide. Mangroves? Sure, go ahead, borrow a kayak and move deeper into the island via river during the high tide. Did neighbouring small islands catch your attention? Again, make the most out of the high tide, borrow a kayak and snorkeling equipment and take a small trip into the sea. The islands suggest even more cozy atmosphere: not a soul on the beach, only hermit crabs running away, lots of seashells, giant palms, interesting looking rocks and a coral reef nearby. - Night sky. There is an absolute 0 of light pollution in sight, only fishing boats glowing far away on the horizon. As a result, stars are shining exceptionally bright. Neck hurts from constantly looking up, but it's worth it. - Traditional Thai massage was wonderful! The option with oil could be just ignored (you won't miss much).

Everything was perfect

Beautiful location and resort on an (almost) empty island. We loved every minute of our stay and would return in a blink. The appartments (huts) were super cool and unique, with a lot of small details. When we mentioned that the bed was a little to hard for our likeing, we immediatly got a topper. Also the beach was a dream

Nothing.

Location. Staff. Eco ethos.

The sand flies are a nuisance for people like me (allergic) but there is nothing the property can do about it. They went above and beyond to offer fans and repellent to keep them away. Highly recommend this place!

Very special place in a very special island. Each cabin is owned by a different person, and thus they are all different (pick a nice one, despite of the higher price, it will be worth it!). The food is incredible, and the staff are the kindest. i follow a very restrictive diet, and no request was too burdensome for them. The trip to the Savannah is amazing, they organize it so well.

The resort is NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY yet it attracts multiple European families with screaming toddlers and terribly behaved children that run around screaming, banging the shutter doors, pounding on the mezzanine floor, wetting the other guests and their shoes with the hosepipe and being an absolute nuisance for hours non-stop, the products of completely aloof, inconsiderate and selfish parents, these children ruin the peace and overall experience for everyone else. As soon as one family with brats leaves, another worse family arrives. The resort is really in the heart of nature, so there is NOTHING for children to do there at all, so they are bored, restless, irritable and basically uncomfortable, and the parents just don't care, they want a holiday and let the kids run wild - there is only the wide beach, bay and the sea, No swimming pools, no loungers, no beach umbrellas provided, nothing, no comfort and no recreation at all, not for the children nor for the adults - you are either on the beach all day or in your bungalow - there is not much else on offer, and it can be harsh in that heat and humidity. Especially at midday. The restaurant is very limited with a small daily menu and not very good. And expensive. I got food poisoning from the fish dinner and it was bad, especially as we were so isolated and far from any medical assistance. The manager is pleasant but the local staff are not very friendly. However, if you go the restaurant at the neighboring Moken Eco Village, then for half the price you get the friendliest most welcoming staff, and a multi-page menu that did not let us down. You just have to watch out for the tide, so you may not be able to visit that often. The spa is just an open air massage pavilion, and the experience was very poor, perhaps the worst massage during the whole trip. The large blue refillable water bottle in our room was gross, and I did not trust the water that was being refilled - I did not drink it.

The location is incredibly remote, and rough and rugged, the beach and bay are gorgeous. A very Robinson Crusoe type experience. Our bungalow was interesting and spacious, unfortunately, not very private once the shutters are opened for light and air, anyone can look in. The mosquito net is much appreciated. The dining hall is unique and very beautiful. The breakfast omelet is superb. The yoga pavilion facing the bay and daily classes with Alisa are special. Upon arrival it feels like the ideal place to relax, meditate and disconnect, and we wanted that so badly, however...
