  Went there for super good Thai massage.

  During our 10 days of vacation, when we mostly stayed next door Hotel, we visited this small spa for four times, because the massage there was really good. Authentic Thai massage with very good feel and touch. Massage at Fisherman village was touristic and not closely as good as this spa massaeusers did. Also it is very peaceful and garden is full of plants. It is a bit more expensive than massage at Fisherman village but quality is several times better at this SPA.

  When we first arrived they had no record of our reservation through Expedia or that we had already paid. If you’d like to go, book directly with the property- don’t do it through Expedia. They were able to accommodate us anyways with their last available room. Our room was very beautiful. It was in the middle of a garden, up on the 2nd floor. We had a patio with a view of the ocean. The bathroom is an outdoor bathroom off the side of our room. Still very private, but we’d never had that before so it was interesting. TV didn’t work, but we couldn’t have cared less about that. They had Wi-Fi, the room was comfortable enough. It’s got open-air bug screens around the ceiling of the room, so you can always hear the ocean waves and the cars on the street nearby. Theres a big fan & AC still, so it’s a comfortable temperature in the room. There isn’t any restaurant or food offerings at the hotel, but there are restaurants within a 2 minute walk up and down the beach from the hotel. At night it’s very dark. There’s no lights around the property or the street outside and we used our phones lighting up the street when we walked to dinner. The beach had garbage around. We didn’t try any of the spa services or the gym, so I can’t comment on those. In summary, I would say that we enjoyed our stay and the staff was really lovely at accommodating us. It is definitely a more unique hotel stay in my experience, so if you want a full-service hotel this may not be for you.

  Peaceful Break

  A very restful place to stay. We had 3 days there and relaxed in the tranquil atmosphere. Lovely staff and top notch service. We were served breakfast on our own terrace at what time we wanted, also if you wanted any other food they would cook it and serve it to you at a very reasonable price. I had a massage and body scrub and it was bliss.

  I didn't like it.

  I just I didn't like it. I think it doesn't worth to pay a lot of money.The view is awful to me. it was actually infront of the sea but the sea seems not good because there were some withered trees and trash ,and the sea is to sharrow so seemed not good... I just I hated to see the view. if it were more and more cheaper, it could have been ok ... but I think it was too expensive to pay the money even though I used the coupon. the room was clean but the door of bathroom doesn't close easily and the furniture seems a little scarely. the room is dark and wifi didn't work at all. it was much better to stay in the hostel which is much cheaper than this hotel . I also didn't like the location because it is far away from town. if it had a nice view it doesn't matter , but the view is not good and the room was dark and the wifi doesn't work at all , so I felt not ok... especially for me, it was the stay just by myself so the room looked very scarely . well, this is just my opinion so please feel what you feel.

  Paradise in paradise

  The staff here are awsome, and so friendly. Jane was really helpful and spoke the best English of any Thai we have met. If you want a fairly secluded resort with a quite beach don't pass this up. I would like to thank all the staff here for allowing us to celebrate songkran with them.
