The location and views

Had to use taxis to get about as location is remote

We book this hotel after long flight and this was a really good decision to stay in so relaxing and calm atmosphere. Green territory , friendly staff, own beach, amazing views and good breakfast.

Nothing, everything was so great .

We had a wonderful stay at the resort! We stayed at the beach pavillion, which was amazing - beautiful view of the sea, facing east, so there is shade in the afternoon which we really enjoyed. The door to the terrace also has a separate net to keep the bugs out, which was great because we could sleep with the door open, listening to the sound of waves. The resort wasn't very crowded, so we didn't have any trouble finding loungers in the pool area (even though there aren't that many), or seats at the restaurant. I would definitely recommend this resort :)

This wasn't a problem for us, but you should be aware that the location is a bit remote, so it can be a bit hard to get a taxi, but if you ride a scooter there is a cheap scooter rental place nearby. The hotel also provides a shuttle to Nai Harn beach and 7/11 a few times a day. You can also walk to Nai Harn in about 20-30 mins (though the walk is a bit hilly :))

Nice garden far from crowd beaches. Nice architecture. Calm space.

The hotel is beautiful! Beds are comfortable and the room is very spacious. Be aware that you may have to go up some steps to your room and walk a bit from the main entrance. The location is a bit tricky and isolated but that was the whole point we booked it. I would inquire more about that. Staff were very nice and friendly. We would love to go back and enjoy the hotel more.. we had a very nice massage on our last day before we headed out to the airport. Hotel is a short but hilly walk to Nai Harn beach and some shops and restaurants and the hotel offers a shuttle at specific times. If you are staying longer I would recommend renting either a car or a moped.. taxis are not super happy to go there. Overall it was a great experience!

there was some construction happening near by.. so the private beach is a bit noisy during the day.

Peaceful atmosphere, jungle meets beachfront, nice rooms, lovely staffs, delicious food.

Traffic on the island made it long to reach the property from the airport.

This property is located in very private location, and the atmosphere itself is just amazing.You can forget about the nosiness and relax with beautiful nature.If you want to spend clam and comfortable stay in Phuket, this is your place to stay.And the staffs are always so kind and smile to the guests:)

If you access by a car (taxi or grab), the road to the property is narrow. So driver needs to be use to drive narrow road.However, there is nothing we can do if you want to have a private and beautiful stay!:)

Beautiful resort. Great staff. The small beach was pretty and the pool was great. Steps are all uneven even the wood steps which can be challenging for some. Bugs weren't an issue for us. One restaurant but lots of variety.

Our excursion vehicles couldn't fit in the lane way up so we had to walk 15. Minutes in the heat to the lower resort which was not my.favourite. it is also far from most things.

I liked that it’s in natural and close to the beach. The view was amazing.

It’s pretty old.. the WiFi barely worked. It would be ok for like a minute and buffer for about half an hour or so. The staff at the restaurant didn’t care as I waited for a menu.. she then pointed me to the generic menu and told me to pick what I want and come and tell her. Food was very mediocre. There is no basic amenities in the room i.e toothbrush, shaver or iron.

Amazing location, food was great, the beaches and pools were very clean. The room was slightly smaller and rustic than we expected.

Everything was fantastic except the room itself was quite small and didn't feel like the resort experience we were expecting

The location is great, very quiet and private, the staffs were very friendly and very helpful.

Great, private location and beach. Perfect place for people who value a quiet quality time. The beach is ideal for snorkeling too.

The restaurant is a little simple in terms of the dinner menu.

Food

A wonderful place to stay! The breakfast was delicious and varied — a perfect way to start the day. The bungalows are spacious and cozy, and you can tell they were once equipped with top-of-the-line appliances. The location feels like you're in the middle of the jungle — ideal for those seeking peace and nature. The private beach with reefs is a real gem for snorkeling. It’s especially convenient if you have a car or a scooter, as it makes it easy to get to nearby restaurants, fruit stands, and other local spots. We absolutely loved our stay!

Everything was good, but there is one important issue I must share, as it may be relevant for others.I had a negative experience with the booking process for this hotel. It is difficult to say who is more at fault in the situation – the hotel or Booking – but since the service was offered by Booking, and the payment was made through them, it seems logical that they should take responsibility for the services they offer at the time of booking. Unfortunately, in this case, they acted completely unprofessionally. Despite several inquiries to them, providing all the necessary evidence, they failed to meet their obligations in providing the promised service.The issue was that during the booking process, it was clearly stated that date changes could be made without additional charges up to a certain date, subject to availability of rooms, with a charge only if the new dates were more expensive and no refund for cheaper dates. I needed to change my booking dates, and at the time of my initial request, all conditions were met. The rooms I had originally booked were available for the new dates and were cheaper than what I paid. I was fine with that.Within a day, I received a response from the hotel via Booking, stating that they were refusing to change the dates (without providing any reasons). This was quite surprising, as the rooms were still available and were cheaper than my initial booking. I sent multiple follow-up messages to Booking with all the facts, but received a strange response, stating that the issue was with the hotel and I should resolve it directly with them (despite the fact that they had clearly stated the procedure when I made the booking). After further inquiries to Booking, I received no further response. However, I did receive an email from the hotel through Booking's system, offering me a date change with an additional charge (approximately the cost of one night at the hotel).

We'd rather have some conditioner provided along with shampoo. Also bed was king size, but 2 beds side by side, which made it a little uncomfortable. Rather than that, this hotel had a very good breakfast and all the personale was great and very helpful.

The beach! The smaller rocky beach is beautiful, and we had it to ourselves most days. The snorkelling is amazing and the best we had on the trip. Make sure we visit the cafe down the road [walking distance] lovely family-run restaurant with great views.

The hotel is a little rundown but spotless. We'd recommend upgrading to the best room; it's spacious and has incredible views of the bay.

Just being in the middle of nature, waking to the sounds of nature was amazing.The two private beaches were amazing, great snorkelling. Buffet breakfast had a wide selection. Restaurant food was delicious. I highly recommend the massaman curry.

It was a little bit of a journey to get to and from.

- really nice villa with beach access and lovely terrace - very nice setting combining beach and wilderness - perfect if you are looking for a relaxing place to spend your time at the resort (or nearby)- shuttle to Nai Harn beach

- the restaurant was poor and since you are a bit in the middle of nowhere, there aren’t many options nearby.- restaurant staff not particularly friendly (maybe because we went late to eat, and they were waiting to close and go home). Linked to this, except reception, the driver of the shuttle and the lovely man who opens the gate for the cars, not many of the staff share a smile or a greeting, even if you say hello first.

Room with a balcony that overlooked a stunning little private beach. Loved hearing the sounds of the jungle - especially at sunrise and sunset. Kept my balcony door open at night to hear the ocean and wake-up to a bright orange sunrise each morning. Loved being able to stroll down to the beach and go snorkelling there, then wander back to the balcony for an outdoor shower, before relaxing on the balcony for the day. Buffet breakfast was surprisingly good too.

Not much at all to not like and I would 100% stay there again. I would have really enjoyed some couch-style seating on the deck at the restaurant or lobby. And drink/food service to the beach lounges and pool would be lovely. Not sure if it is already available or not. Also, would have loved to get the chance to do the yoga that was on offer but did not realise I had to book and then it was not available again during my stay unfortunately. For those of you who crave calmness and serenity - bought to you by Mother Nature - this is for you. For those who love to party - this is not your place :)
