Find hotels in Haadson Beach

i loved the time i had at thai life. the lady manager was great (alex)and very helpful she booked us a great tour to the surin islands. the food was great and the chef came out every night to ask if everything was okay. in fact all the staff were wonderful and very smiley. we were lucky to meet the lovely owners and they organised a loy kratong festival at the resort. thai buffet, thai dancing and music, lighting the lantens and floating the offerings on the lake - a very memorable experience. the villas are the best i've stayed in as they are constructed to a very high standard and are brand new. lovely shower,bed and windows looking onto gardens, trees and lake. great verandah views. one of the best things was riding the free bikes around the countryside. you will ride on quite roads and see the real thai lifestyle and no tourists. the beach is amazing - not a single building anywhere to be seen - just pure nature. we had a cocktail every evening as the sun set. the beach is a gorgeous 4 min ride on the bike (or 8min walk or they will drive you in the truck for free). the spa is gorgeous, they have a wonderful set up. the massages were some of the best i've had - the only the down side was they never went for the full time you allocated (finished approx 15mins early both times). overall an excellent stay and i'll definitely return one day if i can. it's perfect for a quite, beach/countryside retreat. we loved it and wish we stayed more than 4 nights.

We stayed at Water Palm resort for 5 Days and were actually looking for something cheap and away from the major tourist spots. We got a very good value for the money. The room was nice and clean, the free wi-fi was good, the guy at the reception and the cleaning lady were very helpful and friendly. It was a quiet hotel in a quiet location, with almost no Western tourists. There were some Asian families but in general we were pretty much by ourselves at the pool ;) The hotel is close (5min with tuk-tuk) to the Thai Life Hotel and Resort and their extremely nice and quiet beach. The guy taking care of the hotel just called ThaiLife and we got a tuk-tuk to the beach and were picked up in the evening (200 t baht including the "entrance" fee for the beach). The hotel pool was small, but very well-kept. It was clean and the water temperature was good. Child-friendly. What we did not like: there was absolutely nothing at the reception, it was not even like a real reception. No breakfast options, so we either bought some fruit and yoghurt and ate that on the balcony or went to the lady running a food place 10min away, for a meal (brunch). The bed was extremely hard and the pillows killed my neck.. But we heard that it is quite normal at Thai hotels. Since the hotel is practically situated in a lake, there are lots of mosquitos at dawn. One of the biggest drawbacks was that the staff including the hotel manager did not speak English (except a few words) which made it extremely hard to communicate. We will definitely return there next year, especially now when we met the hotel owner a very nice gentlemen. Thai who has lived and worked in Germany for many years and speaks perfect German, which was perfect for me :) We could actually communicate hehe

We went there for 6 days and enjoyed it very much. The rooms are nice and clean, with a lot of space and a nice shadow terras. The staff is very kind and always helpful. The beach is amazing; very private, you can walk very long and not see anybody. The food was OK (not very amazing). It was really a good place to relax, with not a lot of tourists. You do have to walk for a walk to go to the beach, but you can use free bikes!
