We first stayed here 3 years ago and went back. That in itself should say something. Don't go if you are looking for luxury with all the trimmings or a beach. That said it's a pretty unique place and if you are looking for stunning scenery and nature, a very laid back place to chill and a slice of something... More

The staff are very good, relaxed and friendly. "home away from home" and so helpfull. The bungalows are simple but fine and they are isolated with a lot of privatelife.. You can enjoy the mountains and rainforest from your balcony ;-)

Peaceful resort only 30 minutes motorcycle ride from Krabi, yet feels like hundreds of km away. The road leading there is dotted with incredible rock formations typical for the Krabi area. We asked for a single bungalow with the mountain view and got lovely secluded wooden bungalow with a private terrace overlooking the garden and the mountain. Initially the e-mail... More

Just spent a couple of days here. Bungalows very simple and very quiet. Surroundings were stunning. The restaurant served great veggie food (but not open all day) so don't arrive hungry. There is a wonderful natural rock pool at the top of the mountain there is nothing to do here but to read and relax and gaze at the stars.... More

This place is stunning, set in beautiful grounds with a great backdrop from your balcony and a cute little natural pool. The food was top notch and the staff are great. Unfortunately we had to get evacuated as we stayed during the flooding but they tried their best to get us into Krabi Town as soon as they could. I... More

Stayed at this resort for a total of 7 nights (left and came back). The location is superb, the staff so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. You are limited to one restaurant, but ask and they'll make it. The setting is a valley surrounded by limestone karsts, with a mix of rubber plantation, oil palms, native forest and... More

You'll pat yourself on the back for finding this place, especially if you find yourself lucky enough to dip in the pool all by yourself on a hot afternoon and stare at the mountain and wonder when the bats will come out of the caves. Pretty magical and nice way to jump off onward to your island(s) adventure.

We could just sit on our porch and watch the scenery. This place is definitely very special, but don't come here if you are used to luxury. Rooms are very basic. Restaurant is great. The views and gardens are really spectacular, and so is the natural pool. Take a hike into the jungle.

40 mins from Krabi and Aonang, don't let the short distance fool you. You really are in the Jungles of Thailand. The drive out is spectacular. Mountains covered in green jungle, Golden temples perched on mountain tops, tiny muslim villages where the kids still come out to wave at you, it's pretty amazing. The restaurant is cheap enough for those... More

The chalet we stayin in was at the lower end of the price scale so it was basic very clean though we had a fan and an attached bathroom so... More
