Very nice and quite resort, away from the main city life, romantic and peaceful, few restaurants around for dinner, which enhances the romantic touch. You have to be romantic and peace loving person to enjoy this location. Seven Eleven will help you to make your living easier there.

Anyone visiting Samui should take time out to stay on the west of the Island to experience the 'Real Samui'. Panalee offers a great little place to do just that being close to the municipal capital of the Island Nathon where you will find life much more laid back and gentle on the ears and pocket that the party resorts of Chaweng and Lamai.

We opted for a 1bed garden villa with small garden view veranda, bedroom, lounge area and shower/toilet room. The exterior and interior are finished to a nice standard, no wow factor but clean and comfortable.

The lounge area is really not of much use with no TV and a basic concrete bench seat with foam cushion, however it does provide some breathing space and somewhere to dump the bags.

The resort pool looks dirty but is in fact filtered and treated well water, nice touch as Samui has constant water supply problems for its poorer residents and every drop saved from a pool helps them. Gardens are lovely with the constant sound of birds a welcome chorus.

Highly recommended for a couple of days chilling and fantastic seafood restaurants right on the beach opposite the resort should not be missed.

The accomodation was spacious, gardens lush, we had 2, 2 bedroomed villas which were spacious, the rooms cleaned and bed linen changed every day. The staff couldnt do enough. The only downside was that it was on the main drag which we had to cross to get to the beach which was covered in rubbish, so was empty and pointless. The way of getting out and about is the mopeds (but the main road is fierce) or stop the taxis, which we did every day for the 2 weeks. I wouldnt go back again, but it was cheap and clean.
