  • Virtually right on the beach the resort offered a variety of room combinations. We had a 3 person room with fans (not ac) and it did the job just fine. The rooms were clean and all that, but to tell you the truth, we didn't spend much time in them, a closet probably would have served just as well. Oh well, the resort itself was beautiful! A pathway took you up from the beach through a gorgeous jungley garden setting up to the swimming pool and the rooms. The pool was nice, (a good way to rinse of some of the salt water after a long hard day at the beach) and the office had internet access. The resort had a little restaurant on the beach and was a diving school also. Over all, very nice digs and fairly affordable too, if i remember i think it was about 350 baht per night and the first 4 nights were free if you took the diving course, which we did. It was great. I would recommend this place, but there are tonnes of other really cool places, each with a special kind of character that makes it unique.

    Unique Qualities: This was one of the nicer places on the main beach when I was there. It totally looked like a Melrose Place set up (if any of you remember that show, or even know what I am talking about) with a nice swimming pool surrounded by the flats. One really nice thing about this place was the landscaping around it. there were a couple of little gazeebos where you could chill out in the shade and read or listen to music or just relax. As i mentioned the pool was a nice touch, but everything just really seemed to come together well. It was a nice happy place and a step up from some of the other more bare bones places.
