- "Everything. From the amazing private pool to the location and the kindness of the staff. Everyone was extremely friendly and helped us with everything we needed. The food was delicious and the cocktails were great and they also had room service which was very nice. It was the cleanest accommodation we stayed in Thailand and the room was extremely spacious, very nicely decorated and had everything you might need. They also have laundry service and you can rent a scooter from them. The position on the island is very good, you can see the sunrise right from your room. My favourite place in Thailand and I would come back there every time."
