Words and pictures will not do this place justice. It is perfect. The location and the resort itself was just perfect. I never give 5 star reviews and I never voe to return to somewhere again but I will be back to this place. I won;t go into too much detail but if you are after a remote, peaceful, beautiful, relaxing holiday this place ticks the boxes. The beach is one of the best I have ever been on. We hardly saw others and the the water was so safe and warm we spent many hours exploring the beautiful shells and swimming in the sea. Ther hermit crabs were hours of fun for the children. The communal dining area, bar and pool were wonderful. The food was very tasty indeed. However, the local restaurants (walkable) did amazing thai dishes at a tiny fraction of the cost. We eat at both the local restaurants and the resort. The coctails were amazing! Expensive but to be expected on such a remote island. We happily paid the higher price, the quality was great, ther service even better. Regarding the service, all the staff were wonderful. The perfect balance of leaving you alone but attending to your needs with drinks and food whenever asked. I also loved that the resort did not encourage tipping as they had already factored it into all the costs. This was very much appreciated as we did not need cash and did not need to worry about how and who to pay. The villas all looked amazing. We stayed in a 3 bed pool Villa. Baan Don. It was lovely. I am sure they all are. Next time we will certainly attempt to get one on the beach but it was not far to walk either way. I LOVED the eco status of the resort. I really appreciate the efforts they are going to to be self sufficient and reduce waste. My children particularly enjoyed learning about the plants and was they were trying to reduce waste. Again, i have purposely left out lots of details because sometimes they can ruin the surprise. All I can say is that I have high standards, I research my desitinations well and this place went abover and beyond expectations. If you like the idea of a luxury escape to a remote (practically untouched by tourists) island, this is your place. Thank you Koh Jum for being the highlight of this families October holiday.
