    The WIFI didn’t work well in our room (it worked great at the pool though). If you don’t know how to ride a motorcycle the location is quite far off (approximately a 30 minutes walk to the pier/city).

    It was a nice change of peace. Since it’s location was quite far off staying there was incredible peaceful and allowed me to relax. Just being there i felt in peace which i really appreciated. When we were staying there, there were not a lot of people so it was super quiet as well.

    Fine resort, but underwhelming

    There were not many basic amenities provided you would expect at a hotel. Limited towels/wouldn't give extra towels when asked, no hand soap (was told to use the body soap that hung on the wall), and no other kitchen amenities besides fridge, sink, and kettle, so couldn't bring home food to prepare own meals. In the description of the hotel, movie nights were advertised - we were really excited about this, but most of the staff wasn't even familiar with this, and one staff member was able to tell us it had been closed since COVID and the owner did not bring it back yet. Wifi was not really good. Nothing was BAD, but we just felt a little underwhelmed. The hotel is also pretty far away from the busy part of the island - which is nice because it is very quiet, but if you wanted to try out different restaurants, get a massage, or experience more activities, it is a very long walk along roads without sidewalks. You either need to call a tuk tuk for 200 Baht (one-way), or if you are comfortable, renting a bike for the day for 300 Baht. The scooter was a fine way to travel, but keep this in mind for this location.

    The resort was overall nice. The facilities were updated, the pools were well maintained (and fun to swim in!), and no bugs in the rooms! Food offered by the restaurant was also good - we had no problem eating here (maybe a little expensive, but wouldn't expect anything else at a hotel!). A lot of books throughout the resort to pick-up and read on the lounge chairs, which was a nice way to relax throughout the day! Quiet, isolated area. Nice staff. Rooms were well air-conditioned. I can't compare this hotel to others, so if someone were to go to Koh Samet, I would recommend this hotel. Overall, this is a fine resort and we were comfortable. But things to keep in mind . . .

    If your not an early riser bring an eye mask as the curtain don't block out much of the sun.

    Off the beaten track, great resort for families. Zayne, Leo and staff are welcoming and couldn't have asked for better hosts.

    People reserving sunbeds in the morning and disappearing for hours was not good as there are only around 8 sunbeds by the main pool but I guess that happens everywhere

    The location was perfect for us as a couple travelling together. A short walk to beaches bars shops etc. there were days spent around the pool and the food and drinks were perfect with a great selection on the menu

    Only bad point was the bathroom as no shower cubicle so bathroom gets went and the water doesn’t drain very well.

    Big spacious rooms with good sized bedroom and bathroom. Our room got upgraded on arrival so we ended up staying in a one bedroom suite. Both pools were clean and large. We only used the smaller pool. Sunbeds were comfy but not enough of them I would say for how many rooms are in the grounds. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond and made our stay very easy. We rented scooter with them but took a day to be able to as they don’t have many and also we booked the 6 island trip through them. Food was good quality.

    The bathroom floors can be slippery after showering as it is set out as a wet room, but we were all careful and no one fell.

    The staff here were so very friendly, helpful and efficient. We were a family group of 17 people, age range of 6-77, the little ones loved the pools. The rooms are a great size, especially the 2 bedroom apartments, exactly what we needed. It was easy to get taxis to the other parts of the island

    The shower is all in one with the bathroom, not very convenient as everything gets wet. The floor also gets slippery, which is dangerous (my 2 years old fell down 3 times on our first day because of it). The AC in the bedroom was very noisy at times, like an airplane engine.

    The staff is super nice and helpful. You can also rent a scooter at the hotel (cheaper than renting it in shops and they don't retain your passport). The food was also good.

    The location is a little remote but you can hire mopeds for a small fee and that makes all the difference.

    Very well organised and friendly hotel in the North of the island. Really helpful in terms of ideas for things to do and getting transport arranged. The 3-bed apartment was very comfortable.

    Beautiful hotel, nice and clean rooms. The hotel offers a taxi to the beach and the lively area for 200 baht, and also provides motorbikes for 300 baht for 24 hours. The hotel has two swimming pools. The hotel is quiet and the view from the balcony is wonderful. The staff are amazing and the restaurant is beautiful opposite the swimming pool.

    The flat could have been cleaned a bit better before we arrived. We found some stains on the kitchen sides that would have been easy to wipe away. There is clearly some further building work to complete at the venue and when it is complete, it will be a very nice venue.

    The best part was the friendly staff. The pool and bar facilities were very good. The food was good also. beds were comfortable and the flat felt spacious. The views from the accomodation were very beautiful.
