A hidden oasis.
The hotel is situated between Railay, Nammao and Phranang beach. It’s an unbeatable location, the wildlife is just phenomenal, Monkeys, Lizards are just constantly seen roaming around, it’s simply a brilliant experience.
Railay beach is really busy and probably 50 plus longtail boats at any one time, these do give you an opportunity to explore local islands or go to Ao Nang, for shopping. However they do bring in lots of tourists, the hotel security are great at managing this and are all very friendly.
We were staying in a Family pool villa, it’s a fantastic space, we have two children aged 11 and 14, the villa has two large bedrooms, large lounge and a lovely outdoor private pool.
The hotel has three main restaurants, Thai, European and Asian, these are all of a great standard but ultimately and as expected higher prices than typical Thailand.
The staff are fantastic so friendly and helpful.
We went on two trips organised by the hotel, Koh Klang eco island discovery. This was amazing to see how the local Thai people live, we travelled on a tuk tuk to meet a Thai family, had lunch on the river, somewhere we wouldn’t have ever thought of eating, overall a real eye opener for all the family, certainly makes you appreciate how fortunate we are.
Second trip was to Hong island, a beautiful beach and scenery, again a great experience.
Our guides for both trips were brilliant.
There is plenty to do, our boys had a squash lesson and a Thai boxing lesson, we used kayaks/paddle boards, and the gym (which is small but I believe is being updated).
A minor niggle is the housekeeping was a be hit and miss, for example, leftover fruit was sometimes left in the villa for a while, pool towels were not always replaced and the blinds were left closed during the day, a bit strange really.
I believe the garden staff also once a day help to clear any rubbish left by tourists or the tide from all three beaches, they do a great job, tourists please take your rubbish with you or bin it!!
Overall I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone, couples or families.
