Amazing Views
I stayed in a wooden chalet villa with my girlfriend, and the views from our room were simply amazing. Each time we looked out, we had a perfect view of the stunning sea and Nang Yuan Island. The room was cozy and comfortable, making it the ideal spot for a romantic getaway.

Amazing Pools
The two swimming pools at the resort were fantastic, both offering stunning views that made relaxing there truly special. I particularly enjoyed the infinity pool, where I could swim while taking in the beautiful scenery around me. It was the perfect place to unwind!

Delicious Restaurant
I had the most good dining experience at the hotel restaurant, which offered a great selection of food. The highlight was definitely the Chu Chi Goong; it was simply delicious! Enjoying my meals while watching the sunset over the ocean was lovely.

Exciting Activities
I loved the variety of activities available. I went snorkeling right in front of the resort, where I encountered numerous vibrant fish. Kayaking to Nang Yuan Island was also a thrilling experience, and the hike up the hill provided some of the best views I've ever seen.

My stay at the resort was quite memorable thanks to the stunning views and excellent snorkeling right off the property. The staff were mostly friendly and helpful, but the cleanliness and state of the rooms left much to be desired. Although I loved the food and amenities, the overall maintenance was inconsistent, which impacted the experience negatively.

The resort is beautifully set on a rocky hill, offering stunning views and a tropical feel. The hospitality was truly commendable, especially during a concerning incident. However, the location is quite remote and can be challenging for those with mobility issues due to the numerous stairs. While the dining options were generally good, they could use some improvements, especially in variety.

The resort boasts stunning views over Nangyuan Island, which is its strongest feature. The rooms are spacious and cozy, though the service can be inconsistent at times. While the dining options were not very memorable, the staff at the restaurant were a highlight, and the pools offered fantastic views. However, the property is in dire need of renovations, and access can be challenging due to steep paths.

We had our stay at Dusit Buncha Resort amidst beautiful views, but there were a few downsides. The location is very remote, requiring a motorbike for convenience, and the dining experience was quite pricey with limited choices. The spacious suite offered a great view, but the bathroom and overall maintenance left a lot to be desired. However, the staff's quick response to our maintenance issues was appreciated.

While the resort has some fantastic features like a lovely restaurant and breathtaking views, my experience was marred by several issues, notably with wildlife in the rooms and food quality. The staff were polite and the breakfast was enjoyable, but dealing with creatures like lizards and cockroaches isn't ideal. It's also frustrating that the transportation options were limited and cost quite a bit for short rides.

The bungalow we stayed in was charming but unfortunately riddled with insects, including some rather large lizards. Although we were offered a room in the main building, I found that to have a cockroach as well, which was disappointing.
