Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Go for Grand deluxe.

Just ok
Nice hotel beach, great views
5.3
the hotel is just nice but for the price you would expect that the little details would make a difference. hotel food was not that great, including breakfast. our challet was up in the hill and there were a lot of works in the challet near by. not only we could hear all the work noise but also the gardens were a big mess, full of glass, wood pieces, paint tins, etc. it just looked like a deposit/warehouse instead of a nice heel looking over the beach. but the rooms are nice and comfortable and we had a beautiful view from our balcony. the staff is friendly, as all thai people are. you also need to get a longtail boat (100 baht day and night to go to the main city - or walk 45 mins). the hotel massages are very good and relaxing, although it's in the open air, you feel the sea breeze and can massage looking at the beautiful turquoise sea.
Restaurant Tip:
Don't eat at the hotel restaurant. Food wasn't great, my squid came cold, the forgot to serve the side dishes. The restaurant next to the hotel is very simple but very nice. Really good Thai curries! And very cheap!

perfect for couples seeking privacy, seclusion, stunning ocean views, authentic thai cuisine. bungalows have been recently remodeled and are quite comfortable. if you seek beach and seclusion this is it!

Great Location but staff needs to be older
views, location, beach, dining

great location, stunning honestly but i would only return with my girlfriend . it is more suited to a couple who want to chill in the evening with the stars over head and the hotel gears towards this. i was back-packing at the time with 2 others and stayed here while completing our open water padi course (by the way if you are looking to do this, go to long beach divers literally a stones throw away on long beach - they are great and care more about the diving than just making money), so we found it a bit too quite for our liking. nice to chill with a few beers and watch the fire shows at night all the same after a day of diving. note if staying here you will only be able to travel using long boat round the island unless you want to trek for 40 mins in the jungle at night.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Phi Phi Leh beach / Monkey island. Snorkelling is unreal in both these areas.

if you're looking for a family friendly resort, this is definitely not the place you want to go to.
during the day, a dozen thai are working and making lots of noise while the common grounds of the resort look more or less the only place where the surroundings are rather enjoyable are the hill side lodges. great views overlooking the andaman sea but the would be the only reason to go to the beach resort.
Travel tip:
great views from the hillside lodges overlooking the andaman sea

beautiful resort great service
great value, can snorkle off the beach, cleanest beach section from all other resorts on the same beach, private
9.7
Location was fantastic as we snorkelled right off the beach, wish we had stayed here longer. The room was spacious and clean. The service was wonderful and the food great with decent variety. Music played during the evening but did not disturb if you needed sleep.
The staff were very friendly.
Easy walk to tourist centre where all the activities were available. Would def come back to this one.

Fantastic accommodation - outstanding facilities
Accommodation, location and the facilities

We stayed here for 3 nights and didn't want to leave! The rooms are fantastic - really beautiful with a fantastic view. This place is great to stay at if you don't want to be right in the main part of town. It is very relaxing and quiet with a great restaurant on the beach. And if you do want to go to the main part of town, it is only a 20 minute walk - very easy.
The staff are helpful too. They have lots of information on various tours, ferries and have plenty of equipment available for rent.
They also pick you up from the ferry port in Phi Phi and take you over to Long Beach - very handy.
I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in a couple. And it was great value for money.

Avoid this dump at all costs.
none. there was nothing good about this place

We have read several good reviews on this place, one would think that things cannot be too bad. we were so wrong! The resort was very dated and resembled a backpacker lodge. The facilities were very minimal, with a small wading pool, dirty and broken plastic deck chairs by the beach. The whole place stunk of sewer and is very dirty and ill maintained.
The room was a real disappointment. It was dim, smelly, very dirty and is hardly decorated and the seaview was just so so. The water shower is temperamental and it is simply a very sad place. Breakfast was awful. I thought I was in some kind of refugee camp! soggy croissants, sphagetti that looked like play-do. the loud music some viewers complained of continued to 2am, This is probably the worst place I have ever stayed at. complete waste of time and money.Stay away unless you are a sucker for bad treatment.

Lovely resort, but you do need to like nature
Great view, very good restaurant, peaceful

the place is really nice. staff is nice too.
it is a little far from downtown. you need to take a long tail boat to get into town. when you arrive, they are waiting for you and take you to the resort for free. you can also take a free longtail boat when you check out (only twice a day).
the beach which is right there, has lots of fish. at night, in the room we had a little mouse. for some people is not a problem at all, but you need to consider that rooms aren´t hermetic and you may have an insect inside.
Hotel Feature Tip:
DON´T buy the return ticket at the hotel. If you take the free longtail boat at 13.30hs you have plenty of time to haggle the price of a ticket in places in downtown.
If not, you can always buy a round trip from Ao Nang or any other place. It will be much cheaper than the ticket sold at the resort.
