My now husband and I celebrated our wedding here in February 2026 and we couldn’t have made a better choice. The Service: • Hotel Staff: From the moment we arrived, the staff were attentive to every detail, solution-oriented, and always ready to help. They also took care of the organization of family and friends accommodation. • Wedding Planner: Karn was outstanding in every way. She was incredibly caring, we went through every detail together. She made everything possible, supported our guests, was present throughout the wedding day, helped me through every emotion, and ensured that everything ran perfectly. The Place: This hotel is truly exceptional. Because of our various appointments, we had the opportunity to stay in all room categories, including The Writer. Each room has a beautiful and unique design and is impeccably clean. The staff also make sure that the pools are always well maintained. In particular at The Writer, security staff ensure that outside people do not access the pool area, as it has direct stairs to the beach. I really appreciated that. The Location: The hotel is beachfront and only a five-minute walk from the main road. Despite this, the rooms are very quiet, and you do not hear any outside noise. Food: There is no buffet. Breakfast is à la carte (loved that!) , with flexible options for dish modifications. Some of our guests were vegan and vegetarian, and the staff were extremely accommodating. They also consistently checked for any allergies. Additional Comments: • I loved that this hotel has a story and that every detail has meaning. If you ask the staff, they are happy to explain. • The team is extremely attentive, friendly, helpful, and proactive. • This is not a large, crowded resort. With a limited number of rooms, the experience feels personal, peaceful, and truly special. This hotel will always hold a special place in my heart and I can only highly recommend it.

“Best hotel in Thailand”

Impeccable service from the moment you check in, until the moment you check out. Beautiful setting, just off the main road. Amazing beachfront restaurant, with a vast selection of western and Thai food. The nicest hotel we have stayed in Thailand, we will be back for sure!

“Just book it”

I’ve stayed here on numerous occasions and I love coming back. If it’s in your price range, you should do it. It’s not like other resorts. It’s not huge. The vibe is like Le Corbusier designed a Thai resort: white concrete, glass, modernist simplicity. At the front door is all the craziness of Chaw… more

I’ve stayed here on numerous occasions and I love coming back. If it’s in your price range, you should do it. It’s not like other resorts. It’s not huge. The vibe is like Le Corbusier designed a Thai resort: white concrete, glass, modernist simplicity. At the front door is all the craziness of Chaweng: sweaty backpackers from across the globe, bars, massage joints, motor scooters, music, touts, t-shirt shops, supermarkets, tattoo parlours, fake Vuitton. Pass through the gate and you’re in a beautiful secluded garden with the (famously red) swimming pool and beach at the other end. The staff are absolutely wonderful, the bar and restaurant are terrific, and the clientele are generally a pleasant, laid back lot. I love its combination of urbanity and excitement, and elegant seclusion.

Absolutely fabulous place that managed to preserve its authentic and contemplative soul, offering one-of-a-kind architecture and experiences. A very romantic getaway, ideal for couples and honeymooners. Already came twice, the first time was 9 years ago (had come alone) and ever since my wish to come back with my love had never left me. Just found the hotel a little too kids-friendly to my taste. Would highly prefer that it remains/becomes an adults-only hotel, or at leasrt recommend to keep the long pool an adult-only one and not only a "quiet' one. Not keen on children's giant inflatable buoys all over the place etc... But other than that everyting was just perfect. Very high level of customer service and the "Secret Chapters" section (with its secret doorway...) is an amazing addition that totally blew our minds ! Congratulations to the genious architect(s) and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the amazing Christmas spent with you all at the Library this year.
