    Would have been a perfect but the bed in my cottage is bizzare. My bed's headboard is the same glass window in a (not so busy but still a) pedestrian zone. People walk 3 feet from my bed.

    Amazing location. Peaceful and secluded but also close to a lively beach. The immediate seaside is a snorkelling site.

    The only downside is the accommodation don't have their own private beachfront, therefore has no lounge deck chair provided. You have to pay an extra if you'd want ones. It's about 200 Baht/chair/day which I think a little bit too much especially when stay many days and many people in your family. The room was clean and comfortable bed although the bathroom has some sort of smell from poor sewage systems. We have to shut the bathroom door at all time to stop the smell comes out.

    The room was lovely with a great view and room srevice everyday. The staff are helpful and friendly.

    Lack of hangers and balcony light would only go on if main room light was on - I enjoy reading at night but my husband goes to bed earlier so had to read by torch. Small inconvenience and I am sure its easily fixed.

    The staff were very friendly, it was clean and well priced. The pool was lovely. It is situated overlooking a lovely beach with restaurants all along and a nice vibe. It felt safe, relaxed and clean

    There was ocean garbage (bottles half full of urine presumably from nearby fishing boats) & plastic that swept up to the rocks just in front of our villa. If someone can do a sweep each day to pick up the sea trash that would do wonders to the place. Also, we were in the last villa (F4) closest to the pool, and people kept peering around the fence trying to walk across our deck/balcony! There should be a sign that says “no trespassing onto the balcony”. The coffee at breakfast is a Nescafé machine that was almost undrinkable. We ordered lattes from the cafe instead which was not free, but a lot nicer. The pipes in the bathroom also gave off a sewage like smell, so that needs fixing. Our friends stayed next door and this was the case for them as well.

    Sea view; the family room had a mezzanine level which made it seem more spacious. However, the ladder to the mezzanine is quite treacherous so would not recommend for small kids. The staff were friendly.

    Because it is an island, the water for bathing is difficult to enjoy. The amount of water can fluctuate easily, but if you take a bath in the afternoon when the weather is hot, you can avoid the problem of no hot water sometimes. But I only encountered this problem one night during my four-day stay. I just adjusted the bathing time afterwards.

    Very value for money scenery and facilities. You can have the scenery of the reef and the beach at the same time. It is a very relaxing place where you can stay for a week.

    It took forever to get the other room ready and the staff forgot to inform us that it was ready. The pool might not be very clean.

    The location is perfect for a quiet getaway. It's right on the beach but not too close to the other resorts in the area. The family bungalow with sea view was an excellent choice. Breakfast was decent.

    Maybe the restaurant could stay open later than 9pm but there are plenty of other options along the beach. Selection at breakfast . Maybe sun lounges for hotel use on the beach

    Location excellent, breakfast could have a little better selection of food . Our room was a garden view room with a slight sea view but would recommend a sea view as you will get more privacy. Lovely Beaches both sides , nice swimming pool but smaller than you think. Very nice and friendly Staff.

    Breakfast was poor, very little choice and nowhere near the standard of the food the restaurant was capable of making. Arriving as a solo traveller there were very little signs to show how to get to the hotel itself. You get dropped off at a taxi rank and you have to walk with your baggage down a long alley and then pull your bags across the rocks and around people's houses before arriving at the destination. I found this intimidating to navigate at night. I dont feel this is mentioned anywhere. Pool was closed for a few days because it turned a funny colour of green.

    Wow what a view. My room was right on the rocks looking out at sunset and the beach and ocean. The staff at breakfast and dinner were incredibly kind and even offered an opportunity to go and feed the fish with fresh bread which was a novelty. Food cooked from the restaurant was great and it is literally a heartbeat from the beach.

    We stayed in the smallest bungalow with garden view, due to everything else being fully booked. Very small room, rock hard bed but a pleasant sea view from the terrasse. Some unpleasant smell in this part of the resort too. Staff were friendly but English spoken close to zero. Breakfast was ok but mainly Asian options. The family bungalows looked really great though, with amazing sea views, and they looked newly renovated so probably worth to go for one of those if availaible.

    Amazing location, just between two really bice beaches, really nicely maintained garden, cozy layout of bungalows, and very pleasant pool area.

    The pool was closed, and apparently has been for some time. The water was algae green due to a broken pump. Since having a pool is a selling point of resorts in the area, it was disappointing to check in and find it out of order. Also, note that the restaurant and bar close at 9 PM. If you go off on a snorkeling tour or other activity, you need to rush back to clean up and squeeze dinner in before the kitchen closes.

    This is by far the nicest resort in Ao Vongduen. The resort is pristine and sits on its own peninsula. The rooms all offer outside sitting areas with ocean view. The staff was polite and very helpful. You can walk along the beach to all of the other restaurants, bars, and resorts in this cove. Breakfast was good, with eggs cooked to order, and a nice selection of Asian or western food. Very nice coffee machine that makes, Americans, latte, cappuccino, or mocha. Our dinner was fantastic, and the beachside setting is beautiful.

    The Cottages we were in really showing wear, pleasant enough but v small space and could do with refreshing. I think some may have already been renovated but not the ones we had. Staff were lovely though.

    Lovely island location, beautiful beaches, great staff, lovely food. Next time will likely pick a different resort.
