Accommodation and facilities:
Wunderschönes Resort. Die Beachside Bungalows sind ihr Geld wert - der Blick ist einfach unbezahlbar. Schade ist, dass die Servicezeiten so eingeschränkt sind. Der Strand vor dem Resort ist zum Schnorcheln nicht geeignet, wie auf der Website fälschlicherweise angepriesen. Die Korallen sind tot.

Accommodation and facilities:
A good resort which are getting a little bit old. But the most nice restaurant.
Good food and nice cottages. Serviceminded staff. The only bad thing is the beach for small children, a little bit rocky with som corrals. But use the beach app 500m down the island.

Accommodation and facilities:
The strong point of this hotel is the location, which is quite unique in Thailand. Very quiet, natural surroundings, with tropical vegetation and palm trees lining up the beach.
It is a bit over-priced though, especially in the high season. Bungalows are very basic, bed linnen and towels not very clean and smell not very fresh. The food is excellent! However, limited availability, especially of seafood (which you would expect to be abundant in the middle of the sea).
The Thai staff was very helpful and very friendly. However, the supervisors where Filipinos. Extremely unfriendly people. Or when trying to be friendly it showed really fake! Also to the Thai staff they were very rude. I d suggest the owner to look into this.
Besides this, if ur looking to get away of it all, Thapwarin is probably the best place you can find in Thailand

We took a walk (200 meters)to the nearby resort ( Hill.. resort something) and took a swim in a pool with a breathtaking view.

Accommodation and facilities:
Wir waren im Feb/08 für 4 Tage in dieser Anlage. Netter Empfang, Traumlage - aber: sehr unmotiviertes Personal - Restaurant weit unter Thaistandard, ich denke man kann an jeder Straßenecke besser essen, dazu kommen noch die unverschämten Preise - alles kostet doppelt so viel wie auf dem Festland oder auf größeren Inseln - unsere Beachvilla hat leider auch noch ziehmlich vor sich hingemodert - es roch nach hundertjahrealtem Keller. Fazit: leider sein Geld nicht Wert - immerhin 4900 Baht - aber wer aufmerksam ist, bekommt zumindestens eine Menge seltener Tiere zu sehen.

alles bestens
