We had read the review in Lonely Planet and wanted somewhere secluded after the madness of Bangkok. We were greeted on arrival by the owners in a pick up truck and taken across to the resort. There is no other way of getting there, the road to the resort is pure 4x4 territory, take a scooter at your peril! The... More

This is our second time to the resort in our travels and we have only been here a few weeks. We are already trying to incorporate another stop here after visiting some other islands. The owners are so friendly and helpful, always with the biggest smiles and great advice about anything you could ask. The staff is incredibly attentive and... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was our favourite place in Thailand. Staff picked us up from the ferry and took us over to their resort. We initially stayed in town and wondered why we had come to Thailand as we were overun by tourists on noisy motorbikes. However over at View Rock we were the only people there...... More

We knew there was no beach, that this place would be remote and simple, but we didn't expect quite so many fish! Each day a HUGE shoal of thousands of fish came into the bay and were a joy to see! As soon as you enter the water from the rocks or pontoon, you are surrounded by fish; not so... More

As students we didn't had that much money left for this vacation so we booked View Rock Resort: looked good and remoted, and after several luxurious hotels we've been before, this was exactly what we were looking for. When we arrived (after... More

But why would you want to leave? The rooms are comfortable with amazing views of the ocean; the food is very good (though... More

3 of the best days of our trip, good friends, good food, great staff, just great everything. Thanks Ting, Nao and staff. From Michael and Liza in Cape Town, South Africa.

We stayed there with 2 children at the age 4 and 9 years old. We where a bit dissapointed that there was no beach. And the steps and so on. But that dissapointment was gone within moments. Great staf and the owner, Thing, is a great chap with kids. My 4 year old son was there all the time and... More

In order for you to like this resort as much as we did, you have to be going there for 1 or 2 reasons only – snorkeling/diving and/or to be completely disconnected from the rest of the world. If you have any other expectations included getting western style anything, stay elsewhere. Our expectations were inline with this, so we had... More
