The staff were very friendly and accomodating. We were there in the off season and arrived in a heavy rain and the staff made the check in process easy. We did an excurision for the hotel in a long boat to the islands with our guide Pong. I highly recommend it was great experience swimming in the lagoon, enjoying the beach and observation tower. We took advantage of the bikes available and it was easy riding to local restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the food in the restaurant as well as the daily breakfasts, including the floating breakfast in the pool. We enjoyed walking around the property and seeing the wildlife, including a monkey, lizards, hornbills and other birds. We enjoyed our experience and personal pool. The views were spectacular over the water. Looking forward to returning for another stay.

Glamping paradise

By far the most spectacular view and unique experience of our 3 week tour of southern Thailand. We enjoyed an amazing floating breakfast and were happy to sit all day watching eagles and hornbills from the large infinity pool.

The location is fantastic, views of Phang Nga bay superb. Tents are top class, love it. Reception staff is not up to task, the dark complexion girl working at reception lacks tact and class, makes people feel unwelcome. At check-out, they tried to overcharge me 3 days, had to point out I paid in advance month ago. No apologies, nothing. Breakfast is quite poor for place that charges US$300 per day, I had better in ordinary guesthouses.

This Tented Camp is a great place to stay if you are looking for something different than a standard hotel. The views and nature are really amazing & helps you to disconnect from work and digital life. The private pool and the floating breakfast is just an amazing experience to share with your partner. The staff is very helpful and friendly, I really recommend this place to anyone that would like a new experience.

Scenic views and nature

The 9 Hornbills tents are a nice way to connect with nature. Please remember that you are staying in a tent and out in nature. The views in the morning were lovely and the staff although young, were attentive.

Beautiful tent and setting

The tent and view are both beautiful and well worth a visit. Breakfast at the partner hotel is quite disappointing in comparison to what I would havd expected.

The place is a dream. The view is the best view you can ever get. You get a lot of privacy vs the other villas, even at the pool. We saw hornbills and more wildlife. The facilities at the hotel were beautiful, the infinity pool by the beach is amazing, and the hotel has the best beach of the island (however ko yao noi has not great beaches, it is more a quiet, more virgin and local island with only a few hotels). I cannot give the highest rating for two reasons, first one is the service, they have plenty of people really trying to help you, but they dont often success, not sure if it is a language barrier or lack of training. Second one is the state of the tents… Old, stains everywhere, we tried to open fully the tent but the zippers didnt work, in one i found a small honeycomp. All in all, signs of abandonment and careless. Still i would fully recommend the place, because of how beautiful it is. But i really hope they start fixing things.

Vue splendide, les photos sont conformes à la réalité. L’endroit est tout simplement magnifique Le restaurant propose une belle carte des vins Nous l’avons testé en période basse et le tarif de la nuit était en adéquation avec l’endroit et les prestations. En revanche, haute saison, l’établissement ne sera pas à la hauteur du tarif : Le matelas est relativement dur Un hôtel se construit à côté des tentes donc la vue sera modifiée et il y aura moins d’intimité La vaisselle du petit déjeuner servi en chambre est rouillée et écaillée Sur un hôtel qui se veut haut de gamme, le personnel doit être en uniforme L’anglais est un peu à revoir et la communication parfois compliquée Venue tester en basse saison je ne testerai pas en haute saison car je sais déjà que la qualité ne sera pas au rdv
