coming from australia we found the sea water a bit murky not exactly paradise the place was packed with russian holidayers , not the friendliest gang. but they dominate the island. there is a thriving thai street food scene just down the road . i booked for 4 people but the fine print revealed too many people for the room extra beds could be brought in at a cost . The staff were great the usual thai friendliness .Other than the murky water the location was pretty good
I strongly reccommend that resort with straight access to the beach and few minutes walking from restaurants. Breakfast is great, cleaness good and excellent general service. personnel very kind. The only trivial remark I have is that WIFI is not free and a bit expensive.
I think the Paradise Resort is perfectly located to the beach and to getting around the island. There is a group of shops and restaurants in walking distance and transport is always available if you need to travel further. The staff are very helpful. We found the staff at the shop for tours and information extremely good. Highly reommend the pool, the rooms, the food and service are excellent.
Excellent value and certainly worth a three star plus rating. No complaints, efficient service especially at front desk and in making up rooms, and great value food at the restaurant with good selection (BBQ menu has some real bargains). A pity no bathtub in the huge bathrooms of the beachfront bungalows. Pool water appeared a bit murky. Would not take too much effort to upgrade this place to 4 stars, but OK as it is. Consider coming back – but I love to try new places, too…
This is paradise found for me, im going back again as soon as I can, the beach is superb, warm sea water, the bungalows are quaint in an ideal position, I had a sea view but the garden bungalows are also wonderful set in landscaped gardens, the breakfast is great, plenty of choice.
Womderful resort with the most fantastic staff....
Womderful resort with the most fantastic staff. We have stayed At paradise on numerous occasions & we are always impressed with the resort & staff. The only thing that I would suggest is they renew the mattresses on the beds as they are quite hard (not comfy really at all) & the airconditioners need servicing more often. otherwise this is a wonderful resort, fantastic location & highly recommended !!

Stayed here twice before, this time booked a 'Beach View' Was first offered the last bungalow along the beach - about 150m from the pool. Asked if another was available and was give B1, next to beach and pool for an extra 500THB. Food in hotel was good, there's now a 'plaza' just outside the front gate with a couple of bars and restaurant which are pretty good as well. The location is quiet for relaxing (and sleeping)without disturbance with shops and nightlife a short baht bus ride away.
Sad to say the island is being increasingly 'built up' for tourists and eventually will become another Koh Samuui.
It's a comfortable, quite resort. Beach is very nice and the rooms are large and clean with a great view. Overall it was a very pleasant stay and we will definetly come back again.
