"Seek out the taste (and scent if you light your complimentary incense) of Indo-China at this tranquil gem that recreates the elegance of 1940s and '50s colonial Asia." Full review

"Rooms are decorated in one of three styles: local, with bright colors and rattan; Chinese, in dark lacquer and soft fabrics; and Western, something a bit like a minimalist European design hotel." Full review

Regardless of which you choose, you’ll be able to see the Gulf of Thailand; some rooms have terraces with pillow-heavy hammocks, and some overlook the pool, which is a remarkably tranquil scene, especially for Koh Samui.

Frommer's "These bungalows form a secluded little village in overgrown jungle gardens with tall, lush greenery." Full review
Lonely Planet "Palm-bark cottages are set in several rows amid a private, jungle-like garden. They’re decked out in a mix of wicker and wooden furnishings... Suites are a steal for families."
Rough Guide "A welcoming, tranquil resort (no TVs) in tidy, shady grounds, with an especially long stretch of beach."
