This hotel is wonderful. As others have noted it is a hidden gem. There are sea front bungalows, two storied huts on stilts in rice paddies and then a building with two level units. We chose a sea front bungalow....wherein the crashing waves are about 50 feet away. This is a rustic property so very close to nature and appointed in like fashion, with some amazing features however. The custom made open air showers and bathtubs are fantastic. The bed is set on a low platform and very comfortable compared to other beds in Thai hotels I have tried. There is a flat screen tv if you wish with satellite and free DVD's. Our bungalow is quite spacious with distinct living spaces; bedroom that has glass sliding panels, living room again with glass sliding panels open to the outdoors, and then the shower and bath and toilet/sink areas. The floors are a polished and tinted concrete so cool to the touch, yet very warm looking. The furnishings are simple and again carry a "back to nature" theme but very well done. The little bench/couch though is hard as a rock despite the padding so we usually moved to the bed to read and watch tv. The staff are wonderful and provide very good service. The breakfast is actually endless...you do make selections but then you can have whatever you wish in whatever quantity you wish. The high tea is excellent with actual scones, homemade jams and cream and a selection of fresh and tasty baked goods (dark chocolate layer cake, carrot cake, moist brownies and a mini raspberry parfait....delightful). La a natu also has scooters for rent for a modest amount (350 THB) and we spent two days touring around the area which was so much fun. I would definitely recommend this activity. It was a great experience here. The only downside I would say is that the property is starting to look tired. The paint needs touching up, the stairs fastening, some of the trimwork around the pool is sagging, the grounds need some manicuring, and different from so many Thai properties I have stayed in, the cleanliness of the common areas is less than desired (i.e. food from breakfast still on the ground, leaves and other debris blown into the foyer and left there, etc). That is the only complaint. I think it is a fantastic property but it does need some care and maintenance.
