Banyan Tree, Khao Thong hotels

"Excellent traditional Thai hotel with wonderful staff and a warm and friendly atmosphere. This is our fourth visit to this hotel and it remains a favourite. The rooms and villas are very comfortable and are decorated in traditional Thai style which enhances the cultural experience. The restaurants are varied and the food is delicious. You can choose to eat in the beach restaurants where traditional Thai food, Japanese food and international cuisine is available or travel up to the hill restaurant with views over the bay and sea. Breakfast is served in the hill restaurant also which is excellent, varied and very plentiful. The hotel staff are friendly and welcoming and they are both efficient and helpful where nothing is too much trouble. In summary, this island hotel is a little piece of paradise which is traditional and comfortable without being excessive. It retains an authenticity which reflects the Thai culture and hospitality.

"Amazing natural resort, green with animals. Tthe staff was super friendly, very good breakfast with wide variety. Two lovely swiming pools. "

"A gf and I stayed here for a few days while visiting, the staff are the real stars of the hotel. Everyone is amazing and soooo friendly. The resort is pretty cool, but does have some areas in need of a small repair or good cleaning. Originally we ended up being put in a room with a joint door and heard our neighbors fight off and on for hours...then leave, come back at 430am and have obnoxious $3x for an hour. We called the front desk at 530am and asked to switch rooms and we're immediately met by the front desk and they put us in a new room. After we slept for a few hours we chatted with the front desk and they upgraded us to a larger suite. Again, the staff are amazing and do such a fantastic job at accommodating guests. The food at the hotel was meh, we tried the buffet breakfast and the pho restaurant and both were mediocre sadly. We had the BEST bartender (this is actually a shout out to the bartender named Best), had a very good chat with them while we hung out at the pool bar. We also got massages during our stay and the ladies were excellent (Candy and Yeah), they don't have a 'spa' per se but a room that has been converted to act as one. Overall the facilities are great and I do recommend staying here. "

"Amazing pool access rooms, great breakfast, water and coffee in rooms, pool bar and room service were all great. A couple of things i found odd: 1. charged for water at the bar but it's free from housekeeping and at the gym 2. You weren't allowed to take a coffee from breakfast back to your room. Overall very happy with our stay. "

"I can’t say enough amazing things about the staff at Hotel Adam. They made me feel incredibly welcome, were super accommodating, warm, and very genuine. I haven’t had a hotel experience like that in my travels. That includes hotels like The Four Seasons and the Ritz. Convenient location to the downtown and the beach. Spacious rooms and great water pressure! Highly recommend Hotel Adam!"

"Incredible quiet location with restaurants on beach outside of hotel. Unbelievable sunset and surroundings. Staff, food, cocktails world class. If looking for privacy this is the place. "

"Woke up early in the morning and just wandered. Had the entire beach to myself. Pretty amazing experience."

"We had a lovely holiday staying here. Staff were fantastic "
