The island and resort are beautiful, it is situated on a stunning beach. Our little villa was lovely, clean, well made and modern. But as far as positives go that is where it ends.
When working out how to get to the island we booked via the hotel and were not expecting the price of the transfer giving our experience of other transfers in Thailand. It was VERY VERY expensive. Not to mention that the boat broke down, resulting in changing boats meaning transfer took forever to get underway with no explanation.
However, this is where the story leads. With being basically trapped within the resort they really extort you for the prices for food and even water. The prices for food, which is average, are through the roof. What we had spent elsewhere in Thailand in 3/4 days, we spent in an afternoon here. Prices matching that of central London, especially the alcohol prices.
I am glad we spent only one night here as would have seriously reduced our budget for the remaining stint of our trip. (For reference we have been staying in 4/5 star hotels across Thailand.)
The mosque next door will be sure to give you a 5am wakeup call for morning prayers too, so hope you like an early start and a disturbed sleep.
Would definitely steer clear if you’re the travelling sort of person. If you’re looking for a resort to simply relax and little else, this is the place for you. Was overall disappointed, so much so I had to leave this, my first ever review.
