The best staff I have experienced on my trip this year. The man in charge was so wonderful to meet after the long travel to get there. Beautiful setting high above the ocean even though the beach was not that best for swimming but it is not far anaywhere to get on the island for other beaches.

Accommodation and facilities:
Very friendly management and staff but very little English was spoken or understood! The resort is isolated - for 100 bahts each way the hotel will ferry you to another resort where there is a beach and some restarants. For 500 bahts we were given a tour of the island in the hotel pick-up whose chasis is entirely made of wood - probably one of the most photograghed vehicles in Thailand! Buri Hut has a newly built three tier infinity pool which is superb. The African Huts are basic and unfortunately have African style cleanliness, uncomfortable beds with worn out bottom sheets and a large beach towel as a top cover. Breafast wasn t included in the price -everthing on the menu is 100 bahts plus although tea and coffee is free. The food quality is very good and the chef appears to enjoy her own cooking! Unfortunately, all the time we were there, the tablecloths were not changed once and the chair cushions and backs were very grubby making us think twice about sitting on them. Management is also under the impression that playing Jazz,reggae,hip-hop and rap music incessently both in the restaurant and at the pool bar is somehow sophisticated - What is wrong with Thai music?? - or even no music? It could be an idyllic place with very little effort.

Accommodation and facilities:
Basic and clean rooms, but the stand out for us was the staff. They drove us anywhere we wanted at any time, everything was free for guests (push bike, snorkels, ect), and they bent over backwards to make sure we had a great time.
