I am inclined to agree almost literally with the three reviews from January 2010. While I'd rather not speculate whether the managers are "money-grabbers" or not, at least I have made very similar observations as the reviewers. The hotel is indeed nicely situated and has good amenities, reasonably priced laundry, meals, scooters etc. The staff may be helpful and even... More

The location is great, a stone's throw from the beach, and the hotel itself is not bad, although a little dated in style. The rooms are painted well, and well appointed and the pool is nice and clean, with reclining chairs and parasols. There is a small restaurant for the breakfast (overpriced and a struggle to get what is supposedly... More

The hotel had decent rooms and a nice pool with good access to the beach. However the hotel owners were very unfriendly. They refused to wash and / or replace our towels and didn't stock the fridge with water. Breakfast wasn't very good and they refused to help us with anything. All the advice they gave turned out to be... More

Having lived in Thailand for 3 years, I'm pretty accustomed to the ways of Thai people and resorts and have stayed at many, many places around the country. The hotel itself is actually decent and in a good location, however, the staff and service in this place was really very poor. We stayed for a total of 5 nights in... More

What a nice place to stay. The room has a 140 degree view of the sea with the sunset and the moon set right in the middle. There is a very nice swimming pool. The room has air conditioning, king size bed with comfortable pillows, tv, wireless internet, an extra couch/bed, and a very nice private balcony with two nice... More

After a few bad experiences on the island accommodation wise, we approached this resort ourselves to see if they had rooms available. They luckily did and for half the price that we paid for accommodation with much less quality. This is a bit more hotel-like, the rooms are next together, they don't have seperate bungalows. All the rooms are renovated... More

The Darawadee is located on what is possibly the best stretch of Khong Klong beach, which is to say the stretch with the least amount of exposed rock at low tide. Structurally, it is the only place on this beach that has a classic "motel" architecture... two stories of rooms with outside entries in back and ocean-facing balconies or decks.... More
