500 Rai Floating Resort

Every staff speaks good English, very nice. The environment is extremely amazing. There forces you to put down your phone enjoy your holiday because there has no signal at all. But in the resort providing WiFi (not free). We definitely will go there again

They didn’t respond to my email about how to get to the hotel, had to figure it out on my own. Don’t respond to social media messages either which is a shame. The place is hard to get to. The food was alright. But the view makes up for all of the above.

We arrived with four couples and beautiful day. the staff was warm and welcoming to us. Our room was well appointed and clean- very comfortable with amazing views. Food was beyond expectations. It is very very good given location and the remoteness the location. The activities will keep you occupied for a couple days. We can’t say enough good things about the staff.

Amazing place! Definitely worth to visit. Very special place and atmosphere. Nature around is magnificent. Take a chance to see wildlife P.S. if you want good massage to unwind after busy day - ask for P Jim. She is the bets! You would not regret

An outstanding experience! I stayed one night with my daughter and mother. It was an amazing experience, and my only regret is that I stayed just one night. We're definitely visiting again. The locating is breathtaking, the rooms very comfortable, with each villa having their own kayak with life jackets, complimentary. The staff are so kind and caring that I was blown away. The receptionist Khun Oum and the restaurant staff Khun Praew and Khun Nipah went above and beyond to make the right suggestions on food and activities. Right from the time I made the reservation, which was very last minute, and only a day before the check-in, Khun Bua and Khun Mook responded with helpful tips. We hired a private boat for the transfers as it takes 1.5 hours from the pier to get here. The food was great, too. The hotel is not cheap, but it's worth every penny spent. They're also sustainable in their practices, which is refreshing. You get fresh drinking water for free all day and no plastic bottles. You can book activities at the hotel at a reasonable price. We loved this place and highly recommend it.

As I’m leaving the resort, I feel extremely pleased with the experience. Is it expensive - yes, is it worth it - totally. We booked 2 nights for our family, chose a Villa and all inclusive. Considering there isn’t any other options around, I feel it was totally the right thing to do. Taxi picking us up from Surat Thani train station and taxi to our Phuket next stop was included, boats to and from the resort included. All activities and food/drinks included. All excursions included. We took the wild life excursion and whilst it was raining (a lot) and we barely saw any animals, it was ok. On this occasion we had a boat with the engine in the middle, it was considerably louder and the engine fumes made me a bit dizzy. I would try to avoid this type of boat. The caves and trail excursion was great, very easy for kids. Do not go on sandals as leaches are to be expected. We had a few attached to our socks but easy to remove. Mai was great fun and very kind to the kids. The main cabins are hot, but we had all day AC included although it wasn’t super potent. It was amazing to have the water one step away from your room. The gentleman swaying of the cabin was ok in the front room. Food was great and we were very well looked after, even when ordering outside the all inclusive set menu. Finally, I had a massage and again, well worth the cost. I loved it. Key take away: it was useful reading the reviews ahead of the visit. Somebody described it as closer to glamping and it was probably the most accurate description. I would recommend doing 2 nights to really enjoy, we did 2 and felt that was sufficient, but 1 night would have been too short. My only improvement would be the to find a way to reduce the wasted waiting time in the morning on the day we arrived. We arrived at Surat Thani at 6:30am and had to wait until 8:30am for the taxi and then until 11:30am in the dockyard to head to the resort.
