The resort is located away from most tourist places and provides a relaxing safe place to stay at - or to take day-trips from. The personnel is friendly and helpful. The only minus would be that during the busy season the resort would need more people manning the restaurant and bar.

Not for the mobility impaired. The entire property is on a hillside with steep staircases.

Beach and staff are lovely. Resort is nicely located in a jungle setting. Room was a good size with a big sun deck with loungers. But its foundations had sunk so it was not level. The doors had become out of square and did not close easily or properly. Was very glad we had a villa near the beach. Only 45 stairs to go up and down. And a similar number up to the pool. Calf muscles got quite stiff.
Staff were lovely but very limited English. Breakfast surprisingly good. As was dinner. Small menu but well and tastily prepared and presented. And at very reasonable price.
Road in is a bit hairy. Narrow and rutted dirt track bulldozed out of a slippy hillside with drops down to the sea. Having travelled in Nepal we were ok with it. But another guest was sufficiently spooked to go back to the ferry wharf by longtail boat.
It is not a one night stopover place. Getting there takes time and effort. It was second day before we started to relax into the get up. Have breakfast. Sit on beach. Have a swim. Sit on the beach some more. Have lunch. Go back to villa for air conditioned rest in afternoon heat. Go up to pool for a swim at low tide. Back to each for a sunset cocktail - they did a good pinacolada -then leisurely dinner and bed. Next day rinse and repeat.
Some instructions from the resort as to how to get there would have helped. With advice from Dr Google we booked speedboat ferry from Phuket. Leaves at 9.00am. Got off boat at stop three Koh Jum wharf. Then taxi to resort.

This is a charming place to stay. If you want to unwind in a natural setting, away from the sterility of a hotel, this is it. If your idea of nightlife is to linger over a delicious dinner within sight and sound of the ocean, look no further. The staff are what make this place: you will come to regard them as friends. They will arrange whatever outdoor activity you seek. We had a private boat to swim and snorkel in the beautiful coves of Phi Phi Island. I’m am writing this with a heavy heart was I’m leaving, but I know I’ll be back. Meanwhile, your adventure awaits!

Very disappointed
Posted 19 Feb 2024 on HotelsThe hotel grounds along with the swimming pool are very dirty.
There are a lot of intimidating wild monkeys running around the grounds and across the room roofs all day long from early morning until late at night making it impossible to get a good nights sleep.
If you have any difficulty climbing stairs this is not the place for you. There are over 100 steps from the top road to the restaurant and the reception at beach level.
The rooms require updating although the bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning worked well.
The hotel is in a beautiful setting but needs a lot of work to bring it back to its prime.

GORGEOUS LITTLE RETREAT
Posted 7 Apr 2023 on HotelsI was at this resort in 2019 and it was amazing - it's still fabulous but the property could do with some TLC (been closed for two years due to Covid) the rooms are gorgeous but make sure you get a room close to the beach as it's a very steep climb to the top. Great service, good food and the beach is beautiful. Views straight over to Phi Phi.

Paradise
Posted 9 Apr 2019 on HotelsThis is far from a 5 star hotel but it is just fabulous! Large rooms, great views and a beautiful position right on the beach. The breakfast wasn't great but the food at night was excellent and really cheap! We got moved to the boathouse which was definitely 5 star with the most incredible views out to Koh Phi Phi. Staff are helpful, friendly and lovely - a special mention for Pop who was brilliant. Just loved this island - far from the madding crowd and a truly relaxing experience. Not for anyone looking for entertainment, this is only for relaxing and enjoying the sound of the waves. The boat trip to Koh Phi Phi was perfect, our own long tail and we went wherever we wanted to. Taxi into the little village is cheap and worth a look round. The Thai cooking class looked fab but we didn't have time to go. The monkeys were a bonus, it was amazing seeing them, especially since they were free to roam around.
