The pillows were huge, we had to sleep without pillows. They should have two sizes of pillows in the rooms. The prices for boat trips are quite high, but that's the case in all of Khao Sok

“A very nice escape.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
3 things: 1. English level is pretty low, so that's a challenge, although Edwin the sales supervisor saved the day, he is excellent. 2. The long tail boat ride to and from the pier, its rain on the way there and back. This is fine, but the resort should provide some kind of cover on the boar or rain jacket or something. we arrived absolutely soaking wet. 3. Breakfast and coffee to meet international standards if you are marketing to international guests.
Excellent quiet remote get away. Clean, refreshing, total switch off. Lots of swimming and kayaking, little massage. Staff friendly.

“Comfortable in a great setting ( at a cost)”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Excessive and unannounced boat transfer charges (initially 8000bht later 5350bht) I suspect the room charge via booking.com is excessive too but at least we knew this ahead of booking (this apparently is the only one with AC and 24hr power in the floating bungalows). Service levels/offerings did not meet this pricepoint ( at no fault from the staff), fortunately the unique setting more than made up for all of this.
The location, setting, clean & comfortable bungalow & tour guides.

The menu was a little restrictive with not too many choices. The air conditioning is only on from 19.00 -06.00 and the rooms are like saunas during the day.
Friendly staff, great scenic location and very quiet.

Better instructions on hotel services are needed. For example, lunch and dinner options. Food prices are quite outrageous and should be dropped to show value for money. We stayed at the Honeymoon suite for almost $500 a night with no special benefits - no wine or fruit in the room or benefits at dinner. Also, no water heater in the bathrooms.
Location is outstanding. The Honeymoon bungalow is spectacular and peaceful. Staying at 500 Rai is must-do event in Khao Sok.
