Wow. We were 3 couples staying at the resort and we all loved every minute of it. The resort is quite isolated but the pickup we organised with the resort was seamless and very professional.

Wow. We were 3 couples staying at the resort and we all loved every minute of it. The resort is quite isolated but the pickup we organised with the resort was seamless and very professional. They picked us up on time in Phuket and had us to the harbor to catch the resort speed boat with no problems. Highly recommended. The rooms were clean, good views to the beach, very central and very comfortable with everything working as it should. The staff were were all very friendly and easy to deal with and we thought prices for food and massages (with a low season discount) were very reasonable. Food was very good. Unfortunately, the advertised free cocktails we received with our booking turned out to be a choice of 2 only - which seems like real penny pinching but that was our biggest criticism. There was a range of activities at varying prices for those who wanted to keep busy. The resort is set in a nature reserve on a lovely bay beach with good swimming at high tide, swaying palm trees and the backdrop of greenery makes you feel very isolated and special. The pool was also excellent with plenty of sun lounges for tired bodies. If you are looking for a very good resort to relax at, to unwind, to read and to just enjoy peace, this could be for you. Highly recommended. Read less

This resort is the perfect blend of remote luxury. You are about a hour away from civilization, on the edge of a nature preserve, but still get high-speed Internet, gourmet and organic food, and deluxe accommodations.

This resort is the perfect blend of remote luxury. You are about a hour away from civilization, on the edge of a nature preserve, but still get high-speed Internet, gourmet and organic food, and deluxe accommodations. Can’t say enough good things about our island hopping excursion with Anis. We showed up to the excursion activities desk to find out what excursions we might be able to schedule during our stay, and were offered a private sightseeing / snorkeling trip with him the same day, outside of their normal operating schedule, just to accommodate our desires. He took us anywhere and everywhere we wanted to go, took the most memorable photos of us to look back on, 10 out of 10, wouldn’t change a thing. 🩷🩷🩷 Read less

Fantastic location and property Little old but well maintained Cons 1. Housekeeping really needs to improve quality and speed of service They don't even fill up shampoo or water bottles without multiple reminders 2. Language with down staff is a huge issue 3. Not much option of veg in breakfast 4.

Our first time of staying in a beachside villa with our 13 and 15 year old children, and it was perfect, plenty of room for the 4 of us and the outside space was exceptional. Loved being able to walk straight onto the beach and come and go to the pool and for a dip in the sea. Everything was spot on and the staff were welcoming and very helpful. We had no complaints and would easily return again. Thank you for having us again Paradise ❤️🏝️ Read less

Overall we really enjoyed our stay at this place, and can recommend it. The location is quite scenic, set in a wide bay that's plenty swim-able at high tide. Only one property along the bay so no non-guests wandering around, as can be the case with other locations. The adjacent National Park is scenic and can be reached on foot or kayak, though… Read more
Overall we really enjoyed our stay at this place, and can recommend it. The location is quite scenic, set in a wide bay that's plenty swim-able at high tide. Only one property along the bay so no non-guests wandering around, as can be the case with other locations. The adjacent National Park is scenic and can be reached on foot or kayak, though trails sadly are very limited. A free shuttle is offered but aside from the main village (don't bother) we didn't explore much of the rest of the island. Road is in dirt in parts, a bit muddy in places but overall pretty easy to cycle/walk/run if so desired. The resort itself has a nice low-density feel, and didn't feel at all crowded when we were there. Plenty of places to lounge around, nice if small pool, pleasant restaurant, a couple of beach-side bars. Food was good and reasonably priced, and the staff (most of whom are island locals) were cheerful and reasonably attentive. Our room - set up on the hillside - was spacious, clean and functional though I found the dark window tint a little oppressive. Sleep was a bit of a let-down, with a not-very-comfortable mattress and cheap-feeling bedding. Transfers to/from the airport were seamless (arranged via resort at reasonable prices). Overall this place was great and we'd gladly return. We found pricing to be very reasonable. Read less
