We almost did not go, because of the mixed Tripadvisor reviews. Fortunately we went, because this place is just fantastic, with a location virtually on the beach, great bungalows, wonderful environment and very friendly staff. Most of the time we were the only guests, and the staff managed the get the service just right, in a balance between being available,... More

This resort was just what we were looking for. A feeling of getting away from it all without actually having to travel that far or rough it! We stayed at Bann Mai for 4 nights during low/rainy season. We booked a garden bungalow but were upgraded to a sea-view less than 3 meters from the beach. There is not a... More

What a wonderfully rustic resort. We were upgraded to Seaview Cottages. There was only a few cottages full while we were there, but that made it all the more peaceful. Our cottage was only a few steps from the water and everynight we sat on our deck watching all the crabs scuttle across the beach at sunset. The food and... More

We stayed at Baan Mai and found some good and some bad things about it : Pick up from airport : - the service was great : we were picked up in a very nice aircon taxi (even though we had a 7hr delay the driver was still there, waiting for us) and brought to the Pier. The longtail was... More

This is an ideal place for those who wish to stay somewhere secluded (but not too far away) from the buzz of Phuket. - Interesting wildlife on the beach. (But please note that... More

However lovely the resort was, the sandflies ruined my time there. Read up on sandflies (and how to repel them) before you go.... More

Being the only guests we had this wonderful little resort which was in the process of being sold, all to ourselves. The cottages had a comfortable bed with mosquito net, A/C and fridge. The staff were charming and helpful and the food, as soon as they understood that we want tahi not european thai, was supurb. A masseuse is available... More

When we arrived on the island which was just before the new year, the tide was out so there was very little of the sandy beach visible, and it was mostly the exposed rocks and seabed which could be seen. To compound the problem there was a large group of family and friends celebrating a family wedding with young children... More
