I have just returned from a most relaxing 10 days at this most exquisite and tranquil paradise that is Aleenta Phang Nga. Aleenta is a small modern boutique resort set on a pristine white sandy beach. The staff are really friendly and due to the small size of the resort you can expect a really personalized stay (the managers are... more

We arrived at Art's after alot of research on the net before we left home. There were mixed reviews but we thought we would have a look and make our minds up when we arrived there. My first impression was one of excitement. We were shown to our tree house and we were more excited. We were given a house... more

We booked Aleenta through a friend who've just returned's recommendation and was not disappointed. It's low season now in Thailand so it's a lot more interesting to travel now than later in the year where both airfares and hotel room rates tend to be higher and places / beaches more crowded. We spent a blissful relaxing time on the beach,... more

We've just returned from 5 blissful nights at the Aleenta Phuket. The place is magical, the beach stunning, the service excellent, the food to-die-for. It's off season right now, so Phuket is a bit quite, but we didn't mind, we had the long white stretch of stunning beach to ourselves. We will definitely recommend Aleenta to friends and will definitely... more

We spent 5 days at Aleenta. Everything about it was superb. Great service, great food, great beach. It is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. It's a great ending to 1 month long honeymoon and I would definitely recommend to friends. more

We (4 adults and 2 children aged 6 and 8) stayed at the Khao Lak Merlin Resort from 25 to 30 May 2008. Our stay here was sensational for many reasons, too many to write about in this forum! Being "low season", the Resort was deserted and we felt as though we had the place to ourselves. The resort is... more

We stayed here for a couple of nights as part of a package, which included a night on Cheow laan Lake and a floating rafthouse (that was an experience!!!) The staff were welcoming and upgraded our room when we arrived, so we get a very new treehouse, with a nice outdoor waterfall for a shower. The jungle noises were deafening,... more

First and foremost, this holiday resort is not for everyone. That being said, if you are young, adventurous, enjoy traveling to places that are off-the-beaten track, environmentally conscious, focused on sustainable and responsible travel options (that utilize the people and resources of local communities), and not afraid to go out of the way - then Golden Buddha will not disappoint.... more

In general, the resort provide just good envoirnment and services to those who do not expect 'top' . 1) we book for 'Pool villa', but not the same as website describe, photos are new but actual envoriment is old and dark. the living room and bed room is divided by outdoor corridor which is without any cover, thus when there... more

We, a family of five (me and my husband and three children aged 2, 5 and 10), stayed at the Andaman Princess Resort for two weeks end of March 2008. We had booked the hotel as part of a tourist/charter package. I had also read the reviews in advance and was very curious. We were very positively surprised. The hotels... more

This has to be the worst hotel I've been to in years in this price range. Stayed in Pool Suite room number 102 for 3 nights. Relax package Pros: - Candle lit dinner was really well arranged - Nice sea view if you look forward - Friendly staff but this is not a real pro because most Thai staff in... more

The first impression when I see Chongfah is "wow", what a beautiful resort. The entrance is impressive, it's the type of architecture I like, very clean, spacious, not clutter with too much greeneries, a little zen like. The smiley resort staff serve us a welcome drink while we are checking in for the resort and I appreciate that gesture as... more

We spent our family vacation for four days in the hilltop reserve. When I woke up in the morning, the incredible view limestone karsts Pakoh from our bedroom, it is like the paradise dream come true. The water slide and the 246 sqm swimming pool became the exciting entertainment, reminded us back the childhood playground. The rubber trees and the... more

We took my parents to Elixir, and had a wonderful time, but it wasn't without its faults. That said, if you want a very laid back, hospitable stay, and embrace the Thai philosophy of "jai yen yen" ("cool heart", roughly translates to take it easy" ) you will have a great time. If you want a flawless 5* experience, you... more

An excellent and low key 'resort'. Very laid back with good, well spaced lodges/bungalows which are right on the beach. Although a good beach, the water is not clear due to fine silt which becomes apparent at low tide when the sea is inaccessible across the muddy silt. Our visit coincided with well timed high tides and the warm water,... more

We spend 3 nights in April 08 in Elixir Resort on Koh Yao Yai. The resort is very nice and the location is just huge. The bungalows are very pleasant, big with a nice outdoor bathroom. The resort is situated directly on a nice beach and the pool location is beautiful as well. The island is not very developed so... more

The location of this resort is pretty much perfect. A 20 minute ride from Phuket airport in a very swanky limo and then a very smooth 40 minute boat journey transport you to somewhere which looks like the Thai beach resort you've always dreamed of...but and it's a big but...sadly the service doesn't live up to the location and more... more

We will definitely return to Golden Buddha. My family of 3 adults and 2 children (4.5yrs and 1.5 yrs) stayed for two weeks in Baan Metha and loved it. The house was beautiful, peaceful and quiet. The location of all houses in totally unspoilt beachfront beauty is drop dead gorgeous. Only the sounds of wild birds and an occasional monkey.... more

If the idea of putting the only footprints on a long empty beach and then getting an hour-long Thai massage for 300 Baht while listening to the waves appeals to you then I highly recommend this resort. The rooms are large and modern (having been rebuilt after the tsunami), and the seafront cottages have rocking chairs on the porch facing... more
