welcomes its guests into a lobby with a hotel safe. On-site

Rooms
These bungalows are built in the traditional Thai architectural
style. The hotel's goal is to provide its guests with maximum
comfort while experiencing Thai culture. Each bungalow is built
with high ceilings with hand-made ceramic tiled roofs. Ceramic
tiles not only make each bungalow look different, but they are also
the most effective way to keep the heat out of the bungalow. The
bungalows come with en suite bathrooms with a shower, bath and
hairdryer, and in-room amenities include king-size beds,
satellite/cable TV, a kitchenette with a mini fridge and tea and
coffee making facilities, and individually regulated air
conditioning. Accommodation units also come with a private balcony
or terrace.
Restaurant & Food
At this establishment the emphasis is on the rest, relaxation and
personal comfort of each guest. Keeping in harmony with its natural

the elegant terrace overlooking the nearby islands. A buffet
breakfast is served each morning and set menus and Ã
la carte dishes can be enjoyed at lunch and dinner.
Activities & Sport
Guests can enjoy a wide range of resort facilities, including
dining and beach bar options. Two swimming pools can be found on
