We must be in Paradise

Wales

We were here for five nights - and so wish we could have stayed longer. THINGS TO DO ....We would have loved to have done several of the excursions but as time was limited we chose to simply relax on the beach at this very peaceful resort. If you want partying and liveliness this is NOT the place to come. If you want to relax and listen to the surf wash on the shore accompanied by the calls of bird in the trees surrounding the resort, then come. PRICES AT THE RESORT...we read reviews prior to the visit re cost. Yes - true - you are a captive audience and the prices are not 'cheap' ... but they are not outrageous either. You will pay more or less what you would at home (uk) for the meals and drinks, but bear in mind the resort is completely secluded and everything you are consuming, and the staff who serve you have to be transported some distance across the sea, & travel here across land isn't really an option as the roads are challenging ! We didn't experience the 45 minute trip to the local small village but fellow guests described it as like a fun fair ride. If you want to save some money on drinks / snacks etc. then bring stuff with you from Phuket before travelling to the island. TRAVELLING TO THE ISLAND .... we booked the 40 minute private transfer provided by the resort which was by their private speed boat from a private marina about 25 minutes from Phuket airport. I get sea sick but the journey was speedy, and relatively smooth and I had no problems. It wasn't a cheap option - but as I said before travel across land from the public ferry to the south isn't really an option. The boat ride was an excursion in itself, with great views of the limestone islands in the bay. ACCOMMODATION - Varied. The new Treetops area is apparently very high tech. We were in the original part of the resort and the accommodation was simpler, but in my opinion lovely. It was simple and stylish. Spotlessly clean. Air conditioned. Fridge with small freezer compartment. Safe in room, T.V, A very firm, very compfortable bed. Outdoor patio area adjacent to an outdoor/indoor shower which was bliss. If you want something more plush and high end you’d probably be best to book a Tree top villa or find a different resort. Accommodation is in a mix of ‘villas’ and ‘apartments', set throughout the landscape, and surrounded by trees and plants. Some villas are level with the beach. These consist of the shore front villas which have the private (small) 'swimming' pools. Behind these are the basic/ standard 'villas' which are set back from the shore, we stayed in one of these. Upgrading to a sea front villa from our basic villa, for four nights, would have cost us an additional £1000. As it was we had a brief walk of about 1 minutes along romantic pathways, to the beautiful beach with loungers and hammock all along the shore line. The villas with Jacuzzis are setgoing up the hillside behind/overlooking the beach&se, and probably have a great view of the ocean. The land isn't tremendously steep but if you don’t want to walk there are small electric powered shuttles to take you back and forth. The whole resort is small and easily walked around. The beach/ shore is very shallow and it is not really possible to walk out to the sea when the tide is out as the sand underfoot is quite giving. When the tide is in the water is fabulous and warm, and because it is relatively shallow safe for nervous swimmers. For more adept swimmers - be careful if you swim out to the pontoon as it is covered in barnicles which are very sharp. When you can’t swim in the sea there is a lovely swimming pool to use, which is set back a little from the beach. EVENING ENTERTAINMENT ... we were entertained on three nights by a local musician ‘Tiger’ who played lovely mellow sets of familiar songs across from the restaurant 7.00 – 8.00pm, then by the bar 9.00pm – 10.00pm. He was fabulous and was very welcoming to guest joining him to sing. The music stopped at or shortly after 10.00pm in line with the tranquillity and relaxed atmosphere of Paradise. Whilst we were there, there was also a ( short) display of Thai dancing. THE SPA … Fabulous, tranquil, relaxing beautiful setting. Be wary of the Thai massage though – it is NOT like a European massage and can be very intense. If in doubt ask for a gentle massage. They tend to do some sort of deal each day. It books up quickly so if your stay is brief make sure you checkout availability when you arrive. There is also the option of having a massage on the beach, which is also good, but obviously it doesn't have the serenity of the spa experience. EATING … We ate at the more casual of the two restaurants - (though we were told there is also a third restaurant in the 'Treetops' area.) The food was very varied with a wide selection of Thai food, and European choices as well. Everything we ate was DELICIOUS. Breakfast was buffet style and very varied and delicious too. STAFF ... We were greeted by the usual Thai warm, friendly lovely welcome we had come to know - very welcome after the hotel we had stayed at the night before (The Pullman)- which though splendid, was brisk and rather cold . Paradise greets and serves you in the true spirit of the 'Land of Smiles'. CHECK OUT - Take care to have ALL your receipts and pre booked vouchers. Without these we would have been charged again for the room and the speed boat crossing which we had already paid for. Give yourself plenty of time to go through your final check out bill. Once we showed the vouchers we had no problem, but, though I’m sure they were on the system – we had to produce the vouchers to avoid being charged twice. We had to vacate our villa at noon, and left the island on the 3.00pm boat. However we enjoyed the resort for most of the day as guest are able to use the shower facilites at the spa. Would we go again???? .. Yes - In a heartbeat. It was … Paradise …

Nice secluded hotel with laid back feel and friendly staff

Brussels, Belgium

This is a relaxing hotel in a secluded location that offers a quiet getaway from the noise and busyness of other Phuket areas. Overall we had a wonderful experience made better by the friendly staff and well-organised trip. There is a real feeling that you are close to nature and that the resort is supporting the local economy. If you are staying at this hotel you need to let go of some expectations and understand what you are paying for, which is mainly the seclusion and romantic feel for couples. Firstly, you are staying in Thailand and not a western hotel. Expect that things are a little more ragged. I've not been in a place yet that hasn't had some rough edges. This place is no exception. That being said the presentation of the resort is very good. The beach and surrounds are constantly being swept and cleaned. We stayed in a small bungalow, which was spacious and well presented. Although the noise from the adjoining room can be heard through the connecting door. Be aware that you are staying on the edge of jungle, bats, birds, geckos, and insects will all make themselves known to you during your stay. That is part of the attraction for some as it was for us. People complaining about access through the jungle does surprise me. It is secluded that is why you are here if you want to be in reach of facilities then don't stay here. All this information is on the website you can make your own way there if you want. I also feel the transfer from the yacht harbour is overpriced but it is way more convenient than trekking through the national park. Yes, it is a fast speedboat and that can be bumpy when the sea is rough, again if that isn't your thing then don't stay. The location is great, the views are also wonderful, the sunrise was spectacular. The free yoga experience was also good. Prices are comparable to western hotels in Europe for food and drink. You are not paying Thai local prices for food, drink or the spa. The food is good and breakfast offers a wide choice of foods. The buffet is priced at around 750 baht. We did an island hop day trip which was very well organised. Nice longtail boat with a friendly guide and a nice lunch. I found the price to be reasonable for such a trip given the location and number of other guests attending. If you go with the right attitude about having a laid back secluded experience. Understand the price isn't local Thai prices and stay for 4 to 5 nights then this is a great experience.

Literally Stranded

My wife and I spent six nights at this resort for our honeymoon, and let me just warn you: if you don’t come by boat, be prepared for a long, muddy, extremely bumpy road to the resort. We were off-roading in a taxi for about 45 minutes only to learn when we got there that we would have to pay anytime we wanted to leave, which doesn’t seem like a big deal at first but if you’re there for a long period it can be really frustrating. It’s the resort’s tactic to keep you on the resort so that you can only use their services, and their excursions and transfer services are very expensive compared to normal Thai prices. They do have buses that leave the resort and go to the village twice per day, but it costs nearly 800 baht for two people and they don’t run in the evening. There is no shop at the resort to purchase basic necessities (medicine, anti-itch cream, etc), and no way to purchase food except from their restaurants — another reason you will want to go to town and need to pay to do so. The rooms were very cute, but not worth the cost if you include all the extra expenses mentioned above. Our room was small and needed maintenance upon arrival. Luckily, we were upgraded (after a lot of effort on our part) due to a non-functioning window and front door. The mattresses were rather firm so be prepared if you prefer a softer bed! The resort itself is very peaceful, the view is gorgeous and the beach is private. But most of the beaches on this small island are not very crowded. Most of the people staying at Paradise are older and looking for a slow paced, quiet environment. We wanted peace and quiet too, but also wanted the freedom to explore. It was frustrating as guests to be charged a hefty price every time we wanted to leave or visit another island. If all you want to do is hang out at the beach and pool and go on small, simple excursions, this is a great place for a few nights. But if you really want to explore Thailand, this isn’t the place to do it.
