Certain aspects of the bungalows as already described. We ate at their restaurant twice during our stay, both times took a fairly long time to come but was good tasty food, however over 1 hour for a basic Thai dish was a little too long really. The bar drinks are considerably more than next doors resorts, example a Singha (can) is 100 baht compared to 70 baht next door, I guess you could argue the premium is due to having the infinity pool?? A 40% mark up is pretty unjust in my honest opinion especially for the budget travellers of which there seemed a good few. I may have described this resort negatively but overall it isn't, it is a lovely place and the positives are all as described in their advertising on booking.com but I'm just pointing out some of what I feel are the real world points.

My reviews for booking.com are based on Value for Money so where as this bungalow at just over 3k a night is obviously better than a 600 baht hostel it may not be better value for money in real terms. We booked 2 bungalows, a Gardne View and claimed Seaview bungalow, in reality all bungalows open on to and face the main central garden, the only real bungalows you could probably say have a Seaview in their own right area the last 2 rooms, 103 & 104, we have 105 & 106. The bungalows themselves were as described and pictured in the advert although I would just say generally the resort feels a little aged, still very lovely and nice, maybe it's the end of a very busy high season and they will have a refresh afterwards, that kind of look so to speak. Both our bungalows had a mixer shower that only once gave warm water during the middle of the day so evening and morning showers were FRESH lol. The slightly higher premium Seaview bungalow had a noisy air con unit and fridge which made for a broken night's sleep, the other bungalow was absolutely fine in that regards and the bed was very comfy in a decent sized room for 2. The room facilities were as described so no quibbles there. Overall whilst I'm probably being picky, these rooms are in the premium price range so I feel it only fair to point out the reality of what to expect but generally a nice place to stay in one of the quieter locations on Tao. The resort ends with an infinity style pool overlooking Chalok beach which was lovely.

Imo the pillows were a bit too hard.

Quiet, good location at a beautiful beach. Clean hotel rooms with very good cleaners!

One of the rooms had a lot of mosquitoes coming into the bathroom (We extended our stay twice and got another room for the extension.)

Great garden, beach bar and infinity pool. Cannot stress that enough. Nice balcony to drink a morning coffee and hang wet swimwear. Relaxed, away from the city but still things you need/want close by. Cozy. You get towels for the pool. Nice staff and almost everyone is super nice and service minded. The bar has tasty food.

Aircon system was not powerful enough to cool room and no hot water

Location was amazing, cute little bungalows with a fantastic pool area and friendly, helpful staff and funny bird at reception that wolf whistles 🙂

One time the pool was green and looked unclean. There was a pretty big gap in between the entrance door and the floor so mosquitoes were able to come in, but the staff helped us to fix it with a towel. If can get a little loud if there’re many people talking outside on their balconies (simply because of the enclosed space in between buildings), but it’s okay.

The bar area was very nice, quiet with the pool and the sea view and access to the small beach. A bottle of water and a roll of toilet paper were provided every day. Free transfer to the pier. Rooms have all the necessities and are clean.

The staff at the front desk weren’t very welcoming, we’d arrived after a long day of travel we weren’t helped with our bags and staff member was impatient about us paying. The front desk member appeared irritable and unfriendly. However the staff member who picked us up from the pier was very friendly and helpful.

The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. Good location.

A lot of light comes in and not well isolated for sound so without earplugs and a sleeping mask you will wake up early for sure.

Good value for money. Cute layout, really felt like a little authentic village. Nice pool, nice bar and a nice quiet beach just in front, definitely a must visited especially in the evening as it really feels like a private beach with good drinks. Location wise a bit out of the buzzing center but that was for us more a bonus, easy to rent scooters close by.

Nothing we didn't like

Very family feel to this place which was lovely Infinity pool overlooking the sea, great to cool down in Best Massaman we had on our travels around Thailand

They have a bird in a cage in reception, and the fish tank is totally dirty, please show respect for the animals. Many mosquitos in the morning and evening, we can not enjoy the terrace at these times. The swimming pool smells too much to bleach.

It's a nice resort with a jungle garden all around. The rooms are smaller than they look in the pictures but are nice. The cleaning people gave us a mattress for our baby without asking. The people from the restaurant are amazing, and the food is delicious, you can see how they cook in the fire kitchen in the garden. Don't miss to see Ut-Ut.

Was there 3 nights and bedding was not changed, room not tidied once.

Location was fairly quiet- swimming pool was superb.

Stayed in March 2024

Room, although with small balcony, didn’t offer much of a view. Mosquitoes with no netting/insecticide or plug in deterrent- especially in the wet weather when I was bitten substantially! Staff member on reception was disinterested and couldn’t speak much/any english, making communication difficulties. Staff in kitchen very slow to bring breakfast - my husband was served 20 minutes before me, and a neighboring table was served at least 45 minutes before me, despite arriving after us!

Location by the sea with bar and infinity pool.

- Guests and staff smoking weed poolside, quote off putting when you have a toddler and they smoke right next to you - air conditioning broke one night but quickly fixed the next day. - 1000 baht deposit for key- could not get morning of check out for key as no one at reception - people claiming sunbeds by leaving towels on it all day long

- clean rooms- linen and towel service daily - great location on chalok ban beach with lovely infinity pool - great tour and transfer service organised by porn - good restaurant and bar - hot water and good air conditioning in room

This location is perfect! Close by a yoga studio, the intinity swimmingpool has a view on the sea and it's quietly located. We loved it!

The place is a small jewel far from the hectic party island areas, so it was just the relaxing escape I was looking for! The room was very comfortable and spacious. Khun Pond at the restaurant is just a gem of a person and was extremely kind and welcoming. I would definitely come back to this place in the future!

I would have loved to have a mosquito net at the fan for the bathroom. Cause even if the rest of the room is mosquito proof, they can still just fly in through there :/. Also the bar in the pool area seemed just dirty. No need to renovate, just pleeease clean that filthy fridge 😅.

The bungalows are very cute and with the private little porch they feel very private as well. The aircon was perfect and the bedsfelt comfortable. Also the shower was great! The pool area is amazing 😍! The pool itself is so nice and the view is stunning. Also the food from the restaurant is alright.

The rooms are only ok clean and the beds are a bit hard. If you want to pay by credit card, be aware that there is a 3% charge on top.

Staff is very friendly, kind and helpful. The taxi service from and to the pier is free. The communication with the staff is easy and quick.

- The staff haven't bothered to clean the cage of the bird they have...it is cruel! - Little things like having to give 1000BHT for a key deposit but if you don't keep a slip of paper with that written, even if you have the key you won't get 1000 back! Feels scammy and gives bad vibes. - For the price it's not quite as luxurious as it should be, BOOK DIRECTLY NOT through Booking.com. - The reception staff didn't even know if they offer laundry service, also apparently when checking out free pier transfer is only at 8:30, 9:30 and 14:30 - in my opinion for an expensive resort this is unacceptable when hostels offer this service.

Bar is pretty and lit up at night and the pool is beautiful if a little dirty looking..! Rooms are clean and comfortable, and the resort is in a great location if you're looking to get away from the main Sarriee beach for a bit. Location, near Happy Monk Bar and Restaurant and Koppee for breakfast (Happy Monk has a wonderful atmosphere and is very romantic).

No frills resort right on the beach! Very friendly staff, good little restaurant with good quality food options.

We had arranged a free pickup from the pier but no one arrived for 30 minutes. Room not super clean (black mould on ceiling in bathroom). Safe didn’t have batteries in.

The location was excellent. The food and drinks at the restaurant were great and reasonably priced. The staff in the restaurant were very friendly. Great to be by the sea and the pool was perfect. Short walk from John- Suyan viewpoint, freedom beach and shark bay where we saw a turtle

The bed was quite hard and not so comfortable unfortunately. Also the bar played a bit loud music.

Nice spot, relative quiet but with enough eating spots around. The bar from hotel was a good hangout too.

The ground staff and bar staff were all lovely. However, we found the reception staff a bit rude and not very helpful. Unfortunately we had two days with cold showers and we had to follow this up twice with reception before it was resolved. They also did not let us store our bags upon departure.

Rooms were stunning, very spacious, modern villa feel. Beds were very comfortable and there was good air conditioning to stay nice and cool. Seperate bathroom and shower was a good bonus too. Pool was a lovely area to relax with good food and drink service. Quiet location south of the island with stunning views.
