3-Star Hotels in Trat Province, Thailand

I read numerous reviews from different sites mostly pre pandemic. Numerous negative comments primarily focused on the lack of maintenance relating to bungalows and surrounding grounds. Well after my first day here I can say nothing has changed. I paid 2470 baht per night for my aircon bungalow x 5 nights. Generally, as long as the room is devoid of bugs and the aircon, tv, fridge and hot water all work (all okay here) I'm not too fussed about decor etc. But I think the price to value ratio lacked equity. I say this based on comparative island establishments from my extensive traveling around Thailand. Only the pool and beach were redeeming features for me. Breakfast was ordered from a set menu plus toast, juices and fruit. This switched to a buffet when there were enough guests. It was adequate for me. A ground maintenance crew turned up on my second day so they would have been kept busy for some time. The resort did organise a fire show on the Saturday night. I did not leave Koh Kood with a fond memory of my bungalow but I did toward the friendly, helpful and attentive staff and the location on this beautiful island.

Kho Chang is a beautiful island covered with trees, mountains and waterfalls. There are perfect beaches on its western shore. On one of these is Coconut Beach Resort. It's scale and architecture suit this island. Some larger hotels there might as well be in overdeveloped cities. Accommodation is in clusters of two-story buildings innThai style, grouped around a beautiful swimming pool and tropical gardens. There are trees on the beach with hanging swings and womb chairs. The restaurant has tables at the edge of the beach. The Thai food is delicious - seafood in red curry, whole fish simmering at your table, grilled prawns - and there are cocktails to complete the holiday treat. Service is friendly and efficient.

We was going to book these bungalows for 8 nights but our card refused payment so we phoned the number on the website and they accepted booking over the phone with no deposit, best thing that’s ever happened to us We arrived at exotic bungalows to be meeted by Demitri who showed us our bungalow,straight away we refused the room dirty shower room ,no where to put clothes,stained sheets, he offered us a alternative room room if we waited for it to be cleaned of which we accepted it had a wardrobe to put our clothes it was still not worth what we paid During the night it rained and our roof leaked in, we woke to our wardrobe being soaked and a massive pool of water around our bed Our friends sat up all night with their roof leaking all over there bed In the morning we went to reception to ask for our money back but was told dimitri had gone to Bangkok for four days so no refund All of the photos on booking.com are deceiving please please don’t book this accommodation it will the worst thing you’ve ever done If you want more info you can contact me on macwaterfield@gmail.com

Favorite hotel on Koh Chang. Stayed there many times. Spacious rooms, beautiful grounds. Quiet. Clean. Friendly staff. Excellent location. First line. Depending on the time of year, stones are washed up on the shore. In November/December there are usually no stones (sand, good entry into the sea), in January/February stones begin to slowly wash up on the shore, in March there are already a lot of stones and to safely enter the sea you need to walk along the shore and enter the water in the center of the beach. The village with cafes/restaurants/bars is a few minutes' walk along the main road.

Ascetic minimalism at its best. It has everything you need (for me). Clean. Convenient, next to the main road. There is a restaurant nearby. A small beach nearby. You can go to the super beaches, or better yet, drive. You can rent bikes at the hotel (not worn out). I got everything I wanted.

Part way through our stay the garden area suddenly became hectic with police, officials, surveyors and a number of completely hooded and covered workmen. Notices went up and the many posts brought in became a barbed wire fence stretching from the road to the beach, right through the middle of the complex. There was no explanation to the guests, we thought a repossession had occurred. There was an odd atmosphere. It turns out this barbed wire fence was probably the only fully functional feature of Cliff Beach. Much of the rest is not as advertised: Upper pool, half full, broken loungers, filthy abandoned bar, decking completely overgrown. No recent attempts had been made to manage the plants and shrubs anywhere, it all looked abandoned. The fish pond was rapidly drying out leaving the fish struggling in mud. Only a token effort was made to keep the amazing beach, clean and tidy. Most of sun loungers were perished and cracked. Too many rat holes and droppings. The ferol dog was a nuisance and ignored by the management. The kayaks were a disgrace and dangerous, even an hour hire would result in an alarming intake of water. This unknown made some people quite distressed on return. The Cliff Beach situation is amazing, huge potential but the ongoing advertising for evening entertainment is nonsense since its all cancelled, sometimes with lights out by 9pm. There is a lot I could add about the room but a previous person summed it up with her comment on the pool toilet, which remains disgusting and still has no flush. I think this hotel is surviving on a large number of Russian bookings.

This hotel has been operating for over 10 yrs. It was good back then and still a good vibe here. Its got to be the best budget option on Lonely beach for sure. The room I was allocated was so clean, nice and had a new feel about it. Large bathroom and fridge in the room. Good price Restaurant food is not bad. The Cambodians working there are friendly. But I imagine they dont suffer fools. If you treat them well they will treat you well. If I were management I would probably keep a closer eye on them to make sure they are being polite to all customers. If you plan to walk into town at nighttime you need a torch. Its not far but dangerous in the dark with the bikes and cars zipping past. Highly recommend this hotel and restaurant. Right on the stunning beach. White sand and nice water. Cant wait to go back!

The location is seafront not beachfront as seen from photos if you bother to do some simple research. However, the resort provides a man made sand area with furniture overlooking the sea. Alternatively, walk a mere 2 minutes down the main road to access White Sands beach. The property enjoys a 7-11, Macro and beer bar complex nearby. It is only a short walk to White Elephant Sports bar and to restaurants, travel agencies and your typical beach shops down along the main road. The seaside complex provides an infinity pool, a long pool beside the bungalow rooms, beach bar and restaurant where all guests partake breakfast. Both the seaside and hillside complexes have a dedicated reception area. I found staff at both were friendly and probably able to assist you if you have done no research about Koh Chang. On this visit I opted for a hillside room as I was seeking overall value. I had read reviews that seaside rooms can be affected by noise at night emanating from the nearby beer bar complex. My room was situated on the east side of the building (3 floors) and was not affected by any noise at night. I even had a water view from my balcony. My room was spacious and clean. The aircon, fridge and TV worked fine. The wardrobe had hangers with some shelving space. A long bench space with drawers to place your things. A small table and two children was useful. Lighting was very good. The bathroom was also modern looking with segregated shower recess. Good hot water with good pressure. The buffet breakfast was excellent. All the possible food options have you covered including an egg station. Enough seating given the number of guests coming and going. Overall, the resort and my room provided me with what I wanted, a comfortable and quiet stay.

This corner of Koh Kood cannot be described as really good value for money. The I-Lay stands out in a positive way. We booked a room, only to find out that it was supposed to be a permanent tent -??!-. So we rebooked because we were expecting a bungalow. It worked after some replanning by the owner of the small resort. The owner really tried hard, was nice and friendly. But it was an emergency solution, as it was fully booked. The bungalow was not supposed to be rented out. Why? Well, everything was fine!!! On the 3rd day of our holiday, a thunderstorm rained down during the night for several hours. (Anyone who has experienced this in Thailand knows what I am talking about.) Tons of water without end. At some point the roof under my bed gave way and it started leaking through. What? I took it with humor. It is just a resort suitable for everyday use. 3 hours later everything was dry again anyway. Absolutely positive: friendliness. If you want to get into the ”flow” of the resort, it is a top destination for relaxation. You ”slow down”. And it's immediately part of the resort. Choose breakfast the night before (no buffet - why throw away 40% of the breakfast buffet afterwards???). Good! Unlimited coffee (unfortunately only instant - my only criticism!!!!). Scooters are also available for hire. We got the newest one with just 80km on the clock and really broke it in. The thing was really ”toxic” afterwards! Conclusion: If you don't need ”blinking” ”blinking” and ”fancy stuff”, this is a fantastic place. (I don't need anyone to clean up after myself). Overall, an absolute recommendation - but not for club vacationers!!!

I went with my 70+ year old parents and my husband. The ages of the other guests were from young to old. Everyone was comfortable, kind and caring for everyone else. We met two great volunteers- Nelly and Jessie who were great at connecting folks every evening. Our rooms were on the second level, facing the pool. We never heard anything from the parties right down below, even though they stayed up later than us. The walls were thick and the doors kept the sound out. There were two families with young children who also seemed to have no issue with any sounds. What to say about the staff? Faii and Dalí were knowledgeable about everything-set up a snorkel trip and recommended the best restaurants! Oh and the cleaning folks made a delicious breakfast every day. The beach was AMAZING. An easy walk down from the hostel. Shaded by trees and soft sand. The water was warm and shallow. I want to go back! Don't miss it!

An easy walk down from the hostel. Shaded by trees and soft sand. The water was warm and shallow. I want to go back! Don't miss it!

Very beautiful, and the swimming pool is super. To be alone is just delicious, though there are some shortcomings: getting to the hotel is not very easy, I paid the company 35 groups delivery to the hotel and back , and landed me at once on the pier and then you yourself and this without warning, The taxi to the hotel and back cost me 1,000 bucks . So gently here every nice smile looks only to you in your pocket. There are no shops or cafes near the hotel, so if you are going to take care that you will not have the opportunity to buy anything other than the hotel shop. Breakfasts are very dense, but no fruit, ripe with palm. The rooms are huge, very high quality clothes. I had both showers and baths in my room. Instead of TV, the view of all this magnificence, so who needs to be privacy here. The monkeys come straight to the houses very well-educated, they don't have anything, wait for you to come. Circle ringing silence . I got something I long dreamed of being in the jungle like in the movies.

We were able to check in early which was nice for us, Villa Garden room. It shared a deck with another room with a view of the garden and ocean. The deck also had a regular sized table and 2 chairs, great for working on a laptop, visiting or playing games. The room was clean, had a large king bed (2 doubles pushed together), choice of soft or hard pillow, nice. Fridge, coffee, kettle, TV (Thai), 2 bottles of water provided. Bathroom with nice shower, separated from rest of bathroom by short wall. Good wifi. No problems with noise bothering our sleep. Breakfast buffet was a selection of Western and Thai, all good. They varied everyday. Also egg station, bread for toast, fresh fruit and salads also. We loved their pool. It was large with a view of the water and deep enough for swimming but shallow enough to stand in and visit. It had lounge chairs around in the shade and sun and some had umbrellas. There is a separate small pool for the little kids. Nice vegetation around and a bathroom close by. The restaurant is next to the pool so handy to order food and beverages. All along Khnong Prao the beach, it is getting smaller over time. Nature is taking the sand slowly and since we started going there several years ago, several metres of beach has disappeared affecting all resorts along that beach. Chai Chet has a large shaded area that opens onto the beach and had loungers for sitting. When tide is out, the loungers can be taken onto the sand for the sun lovers. We enjoy the shade and had ample room for that while enjoying the view. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We've stayed there several times in the past and will stay there again in the future.

Beachfront Hotel with pool and lush greenery all around the pool for shade. Great value. The beds were large, and rooms have fridge and coffee making facilities. Barxand restaurant were OK for breakfast but not a huge menu and not a very well stocked bar, butt's of bars and restaurants nearby.

I read numerous reviews from different sites mostly pre pandemic. Numerous negative comments primarily focused on the lack of maintenance relating to bungalows and surrounding grounds. Well after my first day here I can say nothing has changed. I paid 2470 baht per night for my aircon bungalow x 5 nights.

Interesting location, they take you to the hotel by boat. Surrounded by mangrove forests. There is no full-fledged beach near the hotel, plus you need to focus on the ebb and flow of the tides. Next door is a beach with a popular Instagram location - a palm tree in the water; you can only get there by kayak or boat. There is a picturesque coral reef nearby; for a nominal fee, the hotel will organize a boat transfer there to snorkel with an instructor. It’s definitely worth visiting the mini island next to the reef, where there is nothing but a cafe on the shore with local flavor - freshly caught fish, which will be immediately caught and fried, sea urchins, fashionable restaurants will wait - because chilling in such a place is a separate kind of pleasure and new impressions in the piggy bank are guaranteed. In the hotel restaurant, the kitchen cooks quickly, but the waiters are outrageously slow. And when ordering an omelet WITHOUT onions for breakfast, get ready to receive an omelet ONLY made from onions😂😂 that’s too salty) The humidity in such a place must be understood as high as possible; the bed is always damp. The bathroom is a let down, in the basement, a simple washbasin and a shower stick, no cosmetic accessories, in particular toothbrushes😳 Where to look for them, if you were hoping for a star hotel and didn’t take it with you, you want to ask the hotel about at least some stores nearby just sail on boats 🤔 On certain days, fire shows are held on the territory. 🔥We got there one day and really liked it. Well done guys! And finally the massage - it was amazing, rightfully the best in Thailand! They massage you in a separate hut overlooking the sea, this promotes relaxation, plus the masseuses are fluent in technique. You need to sign up very much in advance, that’s understandable. There will definitely be new impressions from visiting this place!

Une honte! Nous sommes arrivés à l’hôtel Suanya pour passer quelques jours au calme et dans un cadre idyllique. Malheureusement ce ne fut pas le cas…. À la découverte du cadre nous avons été enchanté cet enchantement s’est très vite transformé en déception puis en colère. En effet la chambre qui nous a été proposé se trouvait être insalubre! Elle ne se situe pas dans le complexe de l’hôtel mais à l’extérieur dans un bâtiment qui ne donne aucune envie d’y entrer! Aucune fenêtre, un « balcon » donnant sur les égouts! La salle de bain était le pire de cette « chambre » présence de saletés de moisissures et de rouilles sur la porte et la robinetterie! L’aération donnant sur les égouts des vagues d’odeur immonde imprégnaient la pièce, de plus la présence de trous laissaient tout le loisir aux divers insectes d’investir notre « chambre ». Le lit n’avait pas de couverture nous en avons demandé et nous avons eu le droit à un plaid et une serviette… Nous avons demandé au personnel de changer de chambre mais pour seul réponse nous avons eu « c’est complet! ». Le personnel n’a eu aucune considération pour notre bien être, peu aimable dans toute circonstances. Nous avons donc quitté l’hôtel plus tôt pour trouver meilleur et dans des prix similaires! A fuir!

The hotel was immersed in a wonderful nature, the cleaning was not perfect and the room was large, but we missed some comfort we used to, like the TV, the light lock and the bedside comfort. There was the minimum necessary, but it was right, breakfast was ”different” from ours, little coffee or milk (not available), but rice and eggs and salted meals. If it happens to you and you do not have too much claims spending the right on this island, it is the hotel that makes for you!

Well, after a lot of searching we finally found a place on the beach, away from the bigger resort areas, within our budget, and overall, we weren't disappointed. The good The location is ideal. Right on a stretch of gorgeous sand with a shallow stretch of sea protected by a shelf of rocks a hundred metres offshore. With young kids, nothing could have been better. Crystal clear waters, clean beaches, and just what the doctor ordered. The staff were very welcoming, and the resort provides free masks and snorkels as well as skiffs for up to three people to paddle out over the shallow sea. There are plenty of fish to see so it's definitely worth taking advantage of these. There's a great collection of tables, sun loungers, swings, and hammocks for you to use, and most have umbrellas to protect you from the harsh May sun. It was incredibly hot at this time and I don't think we were quite prepared for that. The staff were very responsive when we asked for some things to be fixed in the room, such as a missing towel rail from the bathroom, an iced-up fridge, a broken remote control. and these are were resolved within a day or two. Perhaps the best thing about the resort is the restaurant and bar. The food was, we thought, exceptional value and of really good quality. My daughter couldn't eat enough of the spaghetti with pork and tomato and the spaghetti with bacon and chilli is excellent. Also good value is the barbecue set which we had for lunch at least twice. There's enough for 3 or 4 people with just one set. The bar is a great place to relax in the evening though I wish they were a bit more imaginative and varied with their happy hour cocktails. The not so good I've mentioned the problems with the fixtures and fittings in the room. What I find annoying is that guests need to tell staff that a towel rail has been removed, and that the fridge is so iced up as to be unusable. For the price, these things should be checked at least between guest bookings. The wooden laminate flooring in the bungalows has been pretty badly warped and there are gaps between the ends of the boards. This doesn't give a good first impression but perhaps the most annoying thing about the room was the design of the bathroom which seems to have been done by someone with no sense of what should go where. When you open the door to the bathroom, it brushes the side of the toilet seat, which inevitably means the toilet seat is constantly loose. Mad idea to put a toilet just inside a door. I don't think I've ever come across a design like that before. The shower location and the way it's attached to the wall means that anything near the sink gets totally soaked unless you want to remove the shower from the fitting and hold it while you shower. I think a bit of care and effort when designing the bathrooms would have paid off. But perhaps the worst thing of all is the breakfast. Considering the main restaurant food is pretty good, you'd expect breakfast to be along similar standa

Considering this was our most expensive accommodation on a 3 week tour of Thailand (Approx £178 per night for 2 adults and 1 child) this was our most disappointing hotel. We booked the ground floor Sea Horse so we’d have easy access to the beach and pool. First impressions were good, the views were incredible. However on closer inspection the bathroom was awful. It felt dirty, well in need of updating and had a terrible sewer smell, to the point we didn’t want to use it. The towels and sheets were all stained. Although the room was huge there’s no furniture to unpack anything, or surfaces to put anything. The kettle is no where near a plug. And there’s an unnecessary full size fridge freezer, when a wardrobe would be more useful. Although there was a large deck by the pool there was no drying rack and no seating which would have been nice to make the most of the pool which was pretty much just for decoration. The breakfast was terrible with very little choice. The staff were mostly indifferent, never very friendly or smiley. The only redeeming feature was the beach which was absolutely stunning. Though only 12 sun loungers for the whole resort. To warrant the price they’re charging they need to completely renovate the bathrooms, invest in some furniture and towels.

We chose this place without knowing much about the island of ko mak. The hotel is very pleasant, green environment, the huts are pretty and clean, the swimming pool is a big plus and pleasant. The only concern is that you have to rent a scooter to get around, which was done through the hotel.

Perfect hotel. Sweet staff, clean and good rooms, cozy little beach and nicely maintained overall, food was fine but not super. Very relaxing for few days before you travel on to places where a bit more happens if you need this. We enjoyed our stay and recommend this place !!!!

It’s definitely worth visiting the mini island next to the reef, where there is nothing but a cafe on the shore with local flavor - freshly caught fish, which will be immediately caught and fried, sea urchins, fashionable restaurants will wait - because chilling in such a place is a separate kind of pleasure and new impressions in the piggy bank are guaranteed. In the hotel restaurant, the kitchen cooks quickly, but the waiters are outrageously slow. And when ordering an omelet WITHOUT onions for breakfast, get ready to receive an omelet ONLY made from onions😂😂 that’s too salty) The humidity in such a place must be understood as high as possible; the bed is always damp. The bathroom is a let down, in the basement, a simple washbasin and a shower stick, no cosmetic accessories, in particular toothbrushes😳 Where to look for them, if you were hoping for a star hotel and didn’t take it with you, you want to ask the hotel about at least some stores nearby just sail on boats 🤔 On certain days, fire shows are held on the territory. 🔥We got there one day and really liked it. Well done guys! And finally the massage - it was amazing, rightfully the best in Thailand! They massage you in a separate hut overlooking the sea, this promotes relaxation, plus the masseuses are fluent in technique. You need to sign up very much in advance, that’s understandable. There will definitely be new impressions from visiting this place!

Une honte! Nous sommes arrivés à l’hôtel Suanya pour passer quelques jours au calme et dans un cadre idyllique. Malheureusement ce ne fut pas le cas…. À la découverte du cadre nous avons été enchanté cet enchantement s’est très vite transformé en déception puis en colère. En effet la chambre qui nous a été proposé se trouvait être insalubre! Elle ne se situe pas dans le complexe de l’hôtel mais à l’extérieur dans un bâtiment qui ne donne aucune envie d’y entrer! Aucune fenêtre, un « balcon » donnant sur les égouts! La salle de bain était le pire de cette « chambre » présence de saletés de moisissures et de rouilles sur la porte et la robinetterie! L’aération donnant sur les égouts des vagues d’odeur immonde imprégnaient la pièce, de plus la présence de trous laissaient tout le loisir aux divers insectes d’investir notre « chambre ». Le lit n’avait pas de couverture nous en avons demandé et nous avons eu le droit à un plaid et une serviette… Nous avons demandé au personnel de changer de chambre mais pour seul réponse nous avons eu « c’est complet! ». Le personnel n’a eu aucune considération pour notre bien être, peu aimable dans toute circonstances. Nous avons donc quitté l’hôtel plus tôt pour trouver meilleur et dans des prix similaires! A fuir!

The hotel was immersed in a wonderful nature, the cleaning was not perfect and the room was large, but we missed some comfort we used to, like the TV, the light lock and the bedside comfort. There was the minimum necessary, but it was right, breakfast was ”different” from ours, little coffee or milk (not available), but rice and eggs and salted meals. If it happens to you and you do not have too much claims spending the right on this island, it is the hotel that makes for you!

Well, after a lot of searching we finally found a place on the beach, away from the bigger resort areas, within our budget, and overall, we weren't disappointed. The good The location is ideal. Right on a stretch of gorgeous sand with a shallow stretch of sea protected by a shelf of rocks a hundred metres offshore. With young kids, nothing could have been better. Crystal clear waters, clean beaches, and just what the doctor ordered. The staff were very welcoming, and the resort provides free masks and snorkels as well as skiffs for up to three people to paddle out over the shallow sea. There are plenty of fish to see so it's definitely worth taking advantage of these. There's a great collection of tables, sun loungers, swings, and hammocks for you to use, and most have umbrellas to protect you from the harsh May sun. It was incredibly hot at this time and I don't think we were quite prepared for that. The staff were very responsive when we asked for some things to be fixed in the room, such as a missing towel rail from the bathroom, an iced-up fridge, a broken remote control. and these are were resolved within a day or two. Perhaps the best thing about the resort is the restaurant and bar. The food was, we thought, exceptional value and of really good quality. My daughter couldn't eat enough of the spaghetti with pork and tomato and the spaghetti with bacon and chilli is excellent. Also good value is the barbecue set which we had for lunch at least twice. There's enough for 3 or 4 people with just one set. The bar is a great place to relax in the evening though I wish they were a bit more imaginative and varied with their happy hour cocktails. The not so good I've mentioned the problems with the fixtures and fittings in the room. What I find annoying is that guests need to tell staff that a towel rail has been removed, and that the fridge is so iced up as to be unusable. For the price, these things should be checked at least between guest bookings. The wooden laminate flooring in the bungalows has been pretty badly warped and there are gaps between the ends of the boards. This doesn't give a good first impression but perhaps the most annoying thing about the room was the design of the bathroom which seems to have been done by someone with no sense of what should go where. When you open the door to the bathroom, it brushes the side of the toilet seat, which inevitably means the toilet seat is constantly loose. Mad idea to put a toilet just inside a door. I don't think I've ever come across a design like that before. The shower location and the way it's attached to the wall means that anything near the sink gets totally soaked unless you want to remove the shower from the fitting and hold it while you shower. I think a bit of care and effort when designing the bathrooms would have paid off. But perhaps the worst thing of all is the breakfast. Considering the main restaurant food is pretty good, you'd expect breakfast to be along similar standa

Considering this was our most expensive accommodation on a 3 week tour of Thailand (Approx £178 per night for 2 adults and 1 child) this was our most disappointing hotel. We booked the ground floor Sea Horse so we’d have easy access to the beach and pool. First impressions were good, the views were incredible. However on closer inspection the bathroom was awful. It felt dirty, well in need of updating and had a terrible sewer smell, to the point we didn’t want to use it. The towels and sheets were all stained. Although the room was huge there’s no furniture to unpack anything, or surfaces to put anything. The kettle is no where near a plug. And there’s an unnecessary full size fridge freezer, when a wardrobe would be more useful. Although there was a large deck by the pool there was no drying rack and no seating which would have been nice to make the most of the pool which was pretty much just for decoration. The breakfast was terrible with very little choice. The staff were mostly indifferent, never very friendly or smiley. The only redeeming feature was the beach which was absolutely stunning. Though only 12 sun loungers for the whole resort. To warrant the price they’re charging they need to completely renovate the bathrooms, invest in some furniture and towels.

Perfect hotel. Sweet staff, clean and good rooms, cozy little beach and nicely maintained overall, food was fine but not super. Very relaxing for few days before you travel on to places where a bit more happens if you need this. We enjoyed our stay and recommend this place !!!!

Medee is located on a beautiful beach with crystal clear sea where you can swim and snorkel super fine. The best snorkeling spot is in front of the Seafar neighborhood resort. However, the service is lousy. The people who work there clearly don't enjoy what they do. They are unfriendly and not welcoming. In the restaurant we had to repeatedly ask for things. The food is good though. We had to ask ourselves every day if our room could be cleaned. We had rented a cottage, but got a semi-detached house (number 17) with a small, dirty bathroom with a toilet that was wedged between the shower and sink (very inconvenient), shower with a measly trickle of water and a sink with little space. The front door jammed and we always got it closed with difficulty, the patio furniture was peeling off and the neighbors were noisy. According to the staff we had booked this. Our family had booked the same and had a cottage (nr 12) which looked much better and they had no direct neighbours. Avoid nr 17 and 18! We booked a 2 to 5 boat trip for snorkeling. They took us to 1 beautiful snorkeling spot and 1 mediocre spot. After an hour the skipper wanted to return to the resort. We alerted him to the time. Reluctantly he brought us back to the first, beautiful place. Finally, we were back at the resort a little after 4pm. We paid 130 euros (4800 baht) for 4 people. Very expensive for Thai standards. The next day we wanted to explore the island and we hired a taxi for 3 hours. At the start they told what they intended; visit a few places nearby. We wanted to decide for ourselves where we would go. No conversation was possible. So unbelievably sad. The resort is in a beautiful spot and cottages 1 to 16 look great. You can also eat well there. The restaurant looks desolate, as does the beach furniture. Much furniture is broken and/or flaking off. With a little more interest and effort they could turn this into a top resort!
