Super gelegen, aber keine Ruhe

Pros: Endless Pool und das Zimmer am Meer
Cons: Lärm, Preise der Restaurants, Preise der Aktivitäten & Massagen (kommplett übertriben) Massage überall 400-500 Bat, im Ratcha 2500-3000...
Das Hotel begibt sich auf einer der schönsten thailändischen Inseln, leider weiss dies aber jeder. Es kommen 8 Stunden am Tag hunderte Touristen mit Boten angefahren, welche viel Lärm verursachen. Somit keine Ruhe in dem Paradies.

perfekter Inselurlaub

Der perkekte Ort um Ruhe und Entspannung zu finden und der Hölle von Patong zu entfliehen. Wir sind mittlerweile schon einige male hier gewesen und es ist immer wieder toll um hier fuer ein paar Tage auszuspannen.
