Hotel was great, staff lovely very helpful and the food was OK, not overpriced considering.
The chalets are adorable and super clean, the pool was being built as I stayed but the beach is a 2 second stroll and the sea was fine to swim in,
I would definitely recommend and stay there again. I do wish they would lose the band that played the same songs on Fri and Sat night, I actually had to eat elsewhere as the dodgy singing got a bit too much! I would also hire quad bikes and not scooters as the roads aren t the best.. |
Very good |

We stayed in a beach front cottage. The room was a top notch Thai bungalow, clean and comfortable. Service was good, staff friendly, no complaints. Unfortunately, there was a severe problem with the water quality at the beach - it smelt so bad that the staff were wearing face covers and you could not swim in the polution. I hope it was an algae bloom and nothing more sinister. Would stay again if looking for a really quite holiday and a guarantee that the water on the beach was clean. |
Good website, email confirmations give some level of comfort. No complaints. |

I love this place, even in the rainy season, which it definitely was.
We got a fantastic rate because it s the off-season and the hotel s pool was closed for construction (who cares when you ve got the whole ocean to swim in?)
The only downer was that there was noticeably more trash on beach after the tides. We saw none of this two years ago (though the sea was perfectly calm then).
I really love the little island and I hate to see become polluted.

The Hotel was OK but I decided to upgrade to the more up market resort just at the end of the beach Le Vimarn.
This was expensive, but in my mind still value.
I will go back, but have to say the dissappointment was not the hotels but the quality of the sea water.
3 years ago it was crystal clear, now it is cloudy and going exactly the same way as I have seen the main lagoon in Koh Samui. When will Thailand learn that a sustainable future is in policing developments and maintaining the environment, not poluting pristine environments with get rich quick developments and then looking for the next place to destroy.

The booking service was fine. |

This is our second time here! And I m sure we ll come again! From the moment one arrives to the pier everything goes smoothly, well taken care of! The quality of the restaurant needs to improve, especially considering the prices! Don t hesitate on eating elsewhere! |

Tropical paridise. Had a garden cottage with view of water. Very basic but extremely comfortable. Staff was very accomodating. There is a really nice restaurant one hotel down; food is excellent. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the rustic, romantic quality of the cottages. The beach is not large but there are not a lot of people so you feel there s plenty of room. Just watch the waves. Get a $10 massage for an hour. Time stands still. Be sure to visit the other side of the island and eat at Ploy on the beach. |
Very efficient; even with several questions the response was excellent. |

This is the 3rd time we spend a weekend at Ao Prao. The beach is beautiful, and providing a fantastic playground for our children. Staff is friendly and food is excellent. This time we went home by speedboat instead of using the normal shuttle provided by the resort, which opened our eyes for the possibility to travel ourside the restricted hours of the resort shuttle. |

The hotell was nice rigty beside the beach. I thik this hotell was quite overpriced. The food on the hotell was terrible. I ordered a beef, and the did not ask how it should be done. It was raw. My wife tasted other food and that was not good either. The beach rigth beside the hotell was very nice. You shold expected more from the rooms for that price |
Good. |

It was the worst resort I visit since the time I started to spent my holidays in Thailand. It was my fifth time in Thailand.
From outside it look like a paradise, but my room 405, was poorly maintained, had signs of infiltration on the walls and ceiling.
My first encounter in the room was with a cockroach when I try to use the lavatory.
Behind the bed there was a small wall made of hood, and inside had rats and I clearly could ear their noises.
We talked with the employee who cleans the room and it only smile.
The air conditioning was noisy and cleaning was bad.
The dust near the bed has been clean in 4 nights only on visible areas.
The spider web near the mirror in the toilet has there since we check in until the day of the check out.
The ants circulated throughout all room hand and even slug was found going up the walls of the toilet after take a walk true the bath towel.
If you like rural tourism, it is worth going for it.
The staff was nice and kind.
