- Genuine eco-friendly practices (no single-use plastics, glass water bottles)
- Lush tropical gardens that attract monkeys and birds right to your balcony
Szybki przegląd: A charming hillside retreat that forces you to choose between a modern room near the street or a rustic chalet that requires a cardio workout to reach.
Przejrzane przez @wifeynext_door: I honestly didn't want to leave this room. The Deluxe Chalet felt like my own little jungle hideaway. Spending the evening on that huge private terrace listening to the crickets was the highlight of my trip. It’s super romantic and quiet.

Reality check
The 'eco' label is taken seriously, which means weaker AC in some zones and fewer single-use amenities than luxury seekers might expect.
- You care about sustainability and want to support a 'low carbon' hotel
- You want a pool with a view but don't want to pay 5-star prices
- You don't mind walking 10 minutes to find the beach and nightlife

FAQ i ukryte porady
Wszystko, co naprawdę chcesz wiedzieć, zanim zarezerwujesz.
Is the hill really that bad?
Yes, if you are in a high chalet. It's a steep climb with stairs. Golf carts are available but you have to wait for them.
Is there an elevator?
Only in the main building (Premier rooms). The chalets are accessible only by stairs/paths.
How is the breakfast?
Solid but repetitive. Good mix of Thai and Western options, with an egg station and fresh fruit.
Is it close to the beach?
It's not beachfront. It's a 10-15 minute walk to Ao Nang Beach or Nopparat Thara Beach.
Is the pool crowded?
It can be. The rooftop pool is the highlight, so guests tend to camp out on the limited loungers early.
Are the rooms renovated?
Only the 'Premier' rooms and some specific chalets are fully renovated. The older 'Deluxe' rooms can feel dated.
