    Amazing vibes and a beautiful deck to watch the best sunsets. The ATM was not working so the owner lended me money to pay for my luanday and the bike I was renting. Had an amazing stay and would definitely would come back one day.

    We preferred the company of the cat to the 5 small dogs who were a bit loud at times.

    The resort was amazing for relaxing in nature! The monkeys which came by each day were very entertaining, and we had some really peaceful days reading books in the hammocks and on the pier. The old cat who lived there (I think Somu was her name) was so sweet. We had an amazing experience swimming with the plankton at night and saw so many crabs around the mangrove edges. The sunset on one of our nights was incredible and we loved seeing the huge colony of bats flying over the property at dusk each night. Food was also decent!

    If you are booking a dormitory , consider that it will be quite hot in the evening as it has many beds and fans helping but it is still hot, so bungalows might be a better choice :)

    I have started my 2 month trip here , and I came back at the end of my travels. Definitely one of the most beautiful areas in Thailand. So many nice spots around to enjoy good food and views ,and a perfect place to relax in nature.

    Small things that could be improved but are totally outweighed by all the wonderful things, so don’t affect 10/10 rating! No shampoo, kettle, fridge or cup in the room, (all the other places I stayed had these, even some quite cheap ones), but instead there’s constant hot and cooled water in the dining area, and a fridge you can use. WiFi was quite weak in the room, depends how close you are to the dining area. If you need good WiFi you may need to sit in the dining area, other people working seemed happy doing that. Or check location of your room beforehand. Aircon was very good, although the controller didn’t work, had a use a broomstick to turn it off, but this was fine. Only a few of the rooms have aircon, again check that you booked what you needed.

    Fantastic place - not surprising it’s very popular, just book it! A really amazing experience, very beautiful, calming, and friendly. Came on my own for remote working and found lots of lovely people, including everyone watching the sunset and going nightly to dinner at the great crazy horse restaurant over the road. Extended my stay as it was so good. Boat trip to 3 islands was stunning. Note Bananas is not on a great swimming beach, as you can only swim at high tide, for maybe up to 2 hours a day. Wonderful for sunsets, views and walks on beach. Good food at lunchtimes, and can get cappuccinos at a cafe 3 mins along the beach, when the tide is not high. I didn’t have transport but there was plenty to do, relaxing or going on trips. There’s a village only about 5 mins walk away with simple local shops and restaurants, as well as the wonderful restaurant opposite. Olli the owner is very helpful and really helps to create the wonderful friendly, communal atmosphere. Thank you for my best stay in my month in Thailand!

    the fact that the coffee was the same price as the omlette

    The tastiest breakfast in Thailand. From the moment we arrived we realised it was a place full of positive vibe and beautiful people. The nature is wonderful and especially the pontoon and the sea. The people who are in charge of the reception are very friendly. They all know English and German and we got along very well.

    The monkeys are usually entertaining, but beware that sometimes they will snatch things!

    Ollie the manager and all the staff are helpful, friendly and cheerful. Our air conditioned concrete bungalow was comfortable (many simple bamboo huts available). Be aware huts closest to road may suffer motorbike noise early mornings. Other guests seem much travelled and friendly.Wonderfu location in mangrove forest with walkway to pier for spectacular views, and some limited wildlife. No beach but swimming possible at high tide. Long walk across area possible at low tide! Restaurant food good and reasonable prices, but closes at 4.00 pm due to ongoing staffing shortages. However other restaurants nearby, especially recommended is Kongkan Lanlay large restaurant on shoreline 8 mins walk along road, always plenty of tables, food excellent.

    No complains. A motor bike is needed best for sure to approach the resort. For local tours it can be rented on site. Just ask Olly ;-)

    Great stay with Olly and his team. He took care for us a lot. Nice huts and great breakfast. Always interesting and happy bunch of people there. Island tour really to recommend

    The place is an absolute hidden gem. I'm so grateful to have discovered it! So peaceful and magical. You can relax in a hammock, enjoy a magnificent view from the wharf, admire the mesmerising mangrove forest and swim with fluorescent plankton at night. On top of everything, Olli is a great host, helpful and kind. I really hope to come back there one day!

    Wifi range is quite limited but it gives you the opportunity to listen to the sea and the jungle instead of swiping socials ;) Amount of wildlife may be overwhelming - monkeys, spiders, crabs, insects but c'mon - it is their home at first, not ours ;)

    Great setting of the resort, just at the seashore (quite muddy tho but very picturesque), mangrove forest just in front of the house. Great personell, Olli is a superb owner and host, very friendly and welcoming. His stuff is also great, willing to help with everything, cooking great meals and giving excellent massage.
