Perfect getaway! My wife, son and I had a wonderful time here. The resort is bit secluded, which is exactly what we were looking for. Soft-sand beach, three different pools, and a lot of great food. We had a bit of a hiccup at the start, with me expecting a shuttle at the airport, but the hotel staff responded very nicely.

Note - the resort is about an hour from the airport. You can reserve a car with the hotel or take a taxi. The taxi is a bit cheaper, but it s going to stop along the way at an office where they ll try to sell you excursions. Our stop was about 5 mins, not really a big deal. We just said no thanks.

My only complaint about the resort was the gift shop. Not know the area, I paid 650 THB for a little bottle of sun screen (that s about $20usd). Brutal! And then I discovered a convenience store a block to the right. Go there for snacks, beer, etc. Much better prices.

All in all amazing location. We ll be returning!
