I plan to find and contact the owners of this resort. I have never written a review before, but I feel compelled here - absolutely everything was pitch-perfect. The staff was knowledgeable, INCREDIBLY patient (we spoke no Thai), and thorough to the last detail, helping us with everything from walking directions to borrowing the free kayaks. The hotel is at the end of the road, so it's REALLY quiet, but is just a few hundred yards walking distance (on the beach) from a really nice group of restaurants, cafes, a few small stores, scooter rental, etc. It also backs up against the jungle, which we explored (against the recommendation of all the guidebooks) and managed to see Silvery Lingur monkeys, a retired rubber tree plantation, a waterfall, etc. The name of the woman who manages the front dest was exceptional - kind and friendly without fawning, and a real pleasure to see each day of our 5 night stay.
