“not the ritz, but fun if you can handle it”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Upon arrival, the staff was super friendly and took all of our bags up to our room right away. The overall condition of the hotel was good but there are some things a guest should be aware of.

We used Andaman Sky Adventures and the whole package exceeded expectations ten fold. The Tree House is definitely unique. Think of it more as really nice camping rather than a hotel stay. The rooms has A/C and many other ammenities, which was fantastic, but the bathrooms are open and bugs are present. Hot water is on-demand but if it is raining outside you have no shield from the weather. Always carry a flashlight with you, you will never know when you will need it. If you are not happy, DO NOT GET MAD. Just simply explain why you are not happy to the staff and have patience with the person you are talking to as they may not speak your language very well.

My wife and I had a lovely, albeit rustic, stay at the tree house but we did notice quite a few "foreigners" having a tough time. Do your research when you visit another country, it will make your vacation that much more enjoyable.

“Treehouse in the sky”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed in the Orchid Treehouse which was nice and quiet. The rooms were clean besides for an ant invasion but that could have been due to the snacks we brought with us. We spend a few hours at the pool which was very cold probably because it's surrounded by the jungle so almost no sunlight gets in. This truly gives you the treehouse experience since our treehouse was 45 feet up! The issue is that we also had to carry our luggage up that high on steep stairs as well. This may not be an issue if your not an over packer like us ;)

“Nice setting but a bit too rustic and overpriced for my liking”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

person found this review helpful

We booked this room in Surat Thani as out other choices were not available and told it was right in the village (it is actually a 15min walk away). It is in a nice forest location and the bungalows are well spaced out, so no noise from neighbours. However it was overpriced for what it was. We paid 1400B for a room with a fan. It was a basic room with no facilities ie: nowhere to put bags or hangers for clothes, no water, no glasses etc. The room itself was clean and the beds ok but the bathroom was another story. We could not walk into the bathroom with bare feet as it was floored with untreated cross-sections of trees (and stones) which were rotten and therefore home to worms, caterpillars, ants, grubs, cockroaches etc . We are not squeamish about such things but this was too much (it is not nice to look down and see squirming bugs when nature calls)! But at least the shower water was hot.
Also make sure that you bring a torch as paths are hard to see at night and slippery and there are some very steep steps to negotiate (this place is only for the able bodied).
The food in the restaurant was good and the trip to the dam is a lovely day out.
Owners are very good at marketing.

Pool can be little more attnded.
Food was good.
