"I stayed at this wonderful hotel in May. It's a perfect place. Every detail has been thought of, ensuring a comfortable stay for guests. 1) The hotel grounds are large and well-maintained, with lots of greenery. The bamboo arch and several bridges are particularly eye-catching. Every corner of the hotel invites you to take a photo, and it will be beautiful. The lobby is spacious, with a beautiful view. Monitor lizards roam freely throughout the hotel. 2) The rooms. I stayed in the most basic room. Again, everything has been thought of for a comfortable stay. The bathroom is spacious and perfectly clean. The bed is super comfortable, with plenty of pillows to choose from and crisp white linens. The TV has a wide selection of channels. The room has plenty of shelves for storing things, which sets it apart from other hotels. A large bag with large towels for the pool is provided in the room. The terrace is spacious. I felt as comfortable as at home. 3) Pools and beach. The central pool, although small, is clean and chlorine-free. The water is always clean. There's a second pool where there weren't any swimmers. I liked it because it's suitable for professional swimmers. Klong Dao Beach is clean and well-maintained, located near the hotel. In the evenings, there are great sunset views. During the day, there were very inexpensive happy hours on drinks from the restaurant. 4) Spa. Special thanks to Su, who has golden hands. It was a wonderful relaxation experience. I want to come back again and again. In May, there was also a free happy hour. The spa at this hotel is worth the money! 5) Food. The breakfasts are varied and varied. It's impossible to go hungry. The breakfast spot has a gorgeous view from any angle. The coffee is delicious! In the evening, you can dine on delicious dishes at the Barracuda bar. I recommend the tuna salad and minestrone soup. Finger-licking good! 6) Staff! These are the people I want to express my deepest gratitude to and thank the hotel management for such great staff. Michelle, Nina, and others whose names I didn't recognize helped me every time I asked for help. Whether it was me not being able to turn on the TV, or there was a huge scorpion outside my room, or I urgently needed laundry, they always helped promptly. The staff is pleasant to talk to; everyone is smiling, tactful, and "in their element." At breakfast, in the bar, by the pool, in the lobby, at reception, in the spa, and even the drivers in the car—everyone is very pleasant! 7) General. The hotel is located on a clean beach, near the pier. After the taxi, a minicar will meet you and take you to reception, then to your room. You can rent a bike and ride around the island. There is a place for volleyball. I liked the hotel perfectly; I promised to come back again! It's a shame you can't stay with children during high season, but that's the hotel's policy. Everything is done to ensure a quiet and relaxing stay for guests. 🤷🏻♀️There are three separate, comfortable areas for smokers. Smoking is prohibited on the terraces. The only minor drawback for me was the forks. They were so uncomfortable that I wanted to buy a plastic fork and eat with it. We will definitely come back here! I recommend it 100%!! 👌❣️"

"Great service and amenities, staff were welcoming and friendly. Overall, an exceptional stay apart from the mozzies that came out even during daytime."

"Friendly staff and comfy bed. Breakfast was okay. There were quite a few mosquitos in the room, which was a bit annoying. The beachside pool isn’t very private since it’s connected to guest rooms."

"I really liked this place. It's beautiful, the staff provides excellent service, and it's peaceful, perfect for relaxation."

"I’ve stayed at a ton of Ko lanta places and this is the best one in terms of all around value for money. So clean, perfect location on the beach, two great pools, awesome breakfast, etc. if there’s anything to ding it on it’s that there seemed to be a lot of snobby guests there but I can’t really blame the hotel for that."

"The hotel environment is fantastic. Waking up every day to the lush rainforest, enjoying breakfast with ocean views and white clouds, and having a private beach all to ourselves—it's truly special. The infinity pool on the hilltop offers spectacular sunset views. At around 1000 per night during the off-season, it's also excellent value for money. I'm absolutely delighted with this 'secluded paradise' of a hotel and would definitely stay here again on my next visit."

"Great service, just note that this is a little bit further down from the Long Beach (which is more or less unaffected by the low tide). But you can easily get access to a lot of amenities which the hotel can help arrange for you. Everyone is very nice, buggy access is always speedy and convenient. "

"There have been 2 occasions in my life when I have been genuinely sad to leave a place. This is one of those occasions and as I sit here now, having moved on to a resort in Chiang Mai, I cast my mind back to Thapwarin and Koh Ngai, thinking of the wonderful staff, beach front hut, clear blue waters, evenings spent drinking cocktails and eating great food. I can't thank them enough for their great welcome and hospitality. I will return for more....until next time Thapwarin and Koh Ngai. Big love."

"We were warmly welcomed by friendly staff. Our room was luxurious with a beautiful view of the beach and the pool. The breakfast buffet was also excellent, with plenty of choices. For the value for money, this is definitely highly recommended."
