    You need to be okay with insects. This resort is clean, but sometimes an unwanted little guest can sneak up in your bathroom.

    This is the only resort with beach access. It has a chill atmosphere, perfect to rest for some days. Right at a beach is the hotel restaurant with delicious food for everyone. The staff has been really helpful, when we got sick (from a restaurant outside the Resort). Thank you again! Be aware: You can only access by boat.

    We expected to stay closer to the beach. But it took like 5 minutes from the room to the beach. Not a big deal. No telephone in the room. We stayed for 5 nights but the sheet were never changed. We had a double bed. Plugs were located one side, light switches were located on the other side. It looks like a small detail, but in the night time we had to wake each other up to turn the light on, or to plug the chargers in. For me, the most striking point was that it was not a quiet, peaceful bay. The beach was under a constant noise of longtail boats. And it is really loud there! But the room was away from the beach and silent.

    Nature is beautiful. Water supply from the hotel I appreciated. 4 bottles renewed everyday. A golf car carries your luggage to your room and back.

    Nothing!

    Everything! This was a hidden gem that we booked on a whim. The bungalows are basic but good size and nice and clean. When we arrived there were beautiful monkeys running about in the trees outside the building, there was a huge monitor lizard behind the bungalow and at dusk you can watch the huge flying fox bats come out to roost. It was a nature lovers paradise! The view of the surrounding cliffs is just gorgeous also. We will definitely be returning. Breakfast was decent, bargain for the price. Staff at the hotel were wonderful and so helpful. Staff at bar and restaurant were less so in comparison but no big deal. We just adored this place.

    This is a beach resort that is frequented by rockclimbers. excellent facilities. The beach is very nice. This resort is not extremely luxurious, has no swimming pool and a nice basic restaurant. Staff is very friendly. You can walk to another beach but you have to climb a little or walk at low tide along the beach. This neighbouring beach is rather touristic.

    The drains smell abit and the air con is indeed rather loud but these are minor inconveniences. Could do with a sheer curtain as the rooms look out onto the mail walking path between the rest of the hotel and the beach

    We upgraded to the deluxe villa which is certainly worth doing! Room 101 or 102 but looks like they are adding more. These are very modern and pleasant! Would advise this! We loved the location! Was amazing to be so close to the beach!! Read some reviews about ‘Tonsai Belly’ so played it safe at dinner but to be honest, it’s Thailand, it comes hand in hand - we felt fine and had a nice meal! Saw lots of monkeys and a Komodo Dragon too on our walk to Railay beach. Just stayed for one night so we could be close to the beach for abit and would highly recommend doing so!

    Getting to the property was a nightmare! The hotel had messaged me straight away stating that the only access was by boat. I messaged them to enquire what was the best way, as I was a solo traveller. Their response was vague. I caught a boat from Aonang Beach for 800B, which was more than they had said. I messaged to say I was on route no one was there to greet me so I had to drag my suitcase across the hot beach, and the find the undirected reception area! I noted that when I arrived, there was a boat moored on the beach, with the hotel logo on it. I asked why was it not possible to send this boat for me and why had no one greeted me at the beach. They both seemed to not understand anything I was saying. No apology was forthcoming. I saw older guests and families arriving they too were just dropped off on the beach by various boats and left to find their own way too. I read the recent reviews just before I arrived, saying there had been a few instances of funny tummy so I decided to eat vegetarian for my whole stay. However, this did not help. I still got food poisoning/funny tummy, on the night of my stay. I have been ill for just under two days. I only ate that the resort restaurant. There was also another guest that I chatted to and she too had been ill.

    The hotel is nestled into the cliffs of Tonsai Beach. The beach is of outstanding beauty, one of the best beaches I have ever been to. I had a superior deluxe villa which was fitted to a very high standard. Comfortable, relaxing, spotless and cleaned everyday.

    AC was loud and disturbed sleep a little, but it kept it cool! It can be difficult to get to other places depending on the tide as Tonsai is difficult to reach at low tide and so it costs more to rent long tails etc.

    Great location right on the beach with a great vibe, nice restaurants and a short walk to Railay for more activities. Overall excellent stay and the staff were so helpful in organising onward travel to our next destination. The island itself is not too busy which is brilliant and the beach is beautiful! Yummy breakfast.

    The bathroom desperately needed refurbishing. The main light in reception looks like it hasn’t been dusted in years! Odd choice….

    Tonsai Bay is a nice quiet bay where you can rest. Rooms in resort are ok, ground floor in main building is quite noisy and smelled bad in room. The staff is very very nice and polite.

    Bathroom didn't have a shower curtain and was next to the toilet (unfortunately, like many places in Thailand/Laos..). Quite expensive for what you get.

    Room was standard but fine, could benefit from some decoration. Location is good, close to the beach. Staff at reception was kind. Great extensive breakfast, dinner was also good, great views from the restaurant.

    There is no shower. You basically shower above the toilet (this is not shown in the pictures, so it came as a surprise). I only ate at their restaurant (on the beach), trying to avoid the famous Tonsai Tummy (because I am pregnant). Well...bad luck: I still got it. Also, the whole group got it (they ate at different restaurants in Tonsai).

    The location is quite remote, but very nice. The staff was nice and helped us with all requests. The room was quite clean and big, but the bathroom is from another movie.
