In a way, this hotel is an extension of Peaceful Resort. Tamarind Twin is right next to (or behind) it, so there's not much of a view to be had from the balconies. Both resorts share the same amenities: 2 entrances, a reception, and a newly renovated swimming pool. The pool is a decent size with several deck chairs around so it's a nice alternative to the beach. Near the pool is a little hut which is occupied by possibly the best masseur in the province, Mr Noppadol. We went on the 4 Island tour and had an adventurous boat ride in a storm, so the next day my partner woke up with a stiff back; he fixed the problem in just half an hour! Unlike regular masseurs, he uses a combination of Chinese accupressure with Thai massage techniques. Highly recommended :)
The room was clean and furnitures are new, but we had a couple of tiles which came loose so there's a danger of tripping or getting injured. As with many Thai hotels the mattress is firm. The toilet is separated from the shower by a partition, but tiles are rather slippery. Hair dryer, jug kettle, cups and kitchen sink provided. Towels are replaced daily.
In-house dining is not available but a local restaurant is just across the road. Alternatively, a 10 min walk up the road brings you to the backpacker area and a good selection of restaurants. Minimart is 5 mins down the road.
The resort is owned by a local family, staff are polite and always smilling. Overall it was a pleasant experience and great value for the money.
