Our room was great and view quite nice. The customer service was a bit odd. They did not let us know our room was ready for over an hour. The front desk seemed constantly confused. The hotel is a bit isolated you need to take a Monkey walk rickety trail to get to Ao Nang the closest town and the shuttle service is very restrictive with reservations needed 24 hours in advance. However the views are amazing and pool is nice and as I mentioned our room was beautiful

Nice locations, could use improvements.
The location of the property is indeed picturesque, and its design is appealing from a distance. However, it's apparent, as echoed in numerous previous reviews, that the rooms could benefit from some updates as they exhibit signs of wear and tear. Two primary concerns stand out regarding the property. Firstly, the accessibility requires a boat, a crucial detail that should be clearly communicated upfront. While this is common in the area due to its natural setting, the frequency and booking process of the ferries pose inconvenience. Departures occur hourly, and reservations must be made well in advance due to limited capacity, disrupting spontaneous plans. The alternative, a challenging hike to Ao Nang or an expensive "private boat" option, further compounds the issue. Secondly, the property tends to be crowded, affecting various aspects of the guest experience. Breakfast is consistently busy, securing a seat can be challenging, and the pool area is often bustling. Additionally, the presence of many families and children alters the ambiance of the vacation, which may not be ideal for some guests. Despite these drawbacks, the staff members are commendable in their service. In summary, while the location and pricing may be suitable for last-minute bookings, it's advisable to conduct thorough research before making a reservation.

HONEST REVIEW FROM AN EXPERIENCED TRAVELLER!
Ok, firstly the hotel is far from 5 star, more like 3 star. It is clean and the view is ok,... just ok as there are trees everywhere so ocean view is not that good. The rooms are nice and spacious. The staff are friendly but very slow so room service is useless. Now what let's this place down is you expect it to be a private beach considering it is so expensive but it is full of holidaymakers not from the hotel so take no notice of the pictures. The pool is tiny with loud young booming music and there are nowhere near enough deck chairs. The beach is acceptable but not fantastic as claimed. The restaurant food is diabolical quality, just cheap frozen rubbish, beers are served in plastic jars not glass! The food is incredibly overpriced, average meal for two costs £40 for frozen cheap rubbish. Basically 4 times the price it should be! The only decent food is the Thai restaurant however that is insanely overpriced. There was a buffet one night, the cost was £60 per person which is scandalous for Thailand. Basically this hotel is run down, poor staff, absolutely terrible food and absurdly overpriced cheap food. I would say steer clear and go somewhere else as this place is just a money making con!

Love this beautiful property. The room was beautiful and had everything we needed. The staff were so friendly and we can tell they work so hard, so thank you! The only thing we didn’t love was the food. I think if this was improved it would make a world of a difference.
