This is a snug property close to the airport but away from the crowds. With a mix of rooms and suites with pvt pools, it gives you perfect seclusion for family time. Facilities are nice but the staff at all touchpoints are super efficient and friendly.

My family and I stayed here for a week. If you don’t want to stay in a place where you feel welcome, where you feel like family, and your face will actually hurt from having a constant smile, then this is not the place for you. I was amazed at the amount of attention each staff member provides you. My son got Bangkok Belly from Bangkok (not from this resort!) and the pampering and care for him were out of this world. The daily breakfasts are top notch. The pool was warm and inviting. The level of comfort in the rooms was out of this world. (They even have a pillow menu!) Every staff member treats you like royalty and even gets to know your name! We even got to know the manager, William. How many places do you actually get to know the manager? I have no hesitations recommending this place and can’t wait to return. Read less

We came for a seafood dinner and it was delicious and fresh. We had multiple cocktails which were well made and so tasty. Our servers, Joy and Pukpik were such good hosts, super friendly and attentive and really made our dinner memorable. Thank you 🍺
