 "Retreat into a tropical garden resort bisected by meandering paths and decorated with tongue-in-cheek artwork." Full review
 "A great place with a good cause, this resort is owned by a Thai NGO which specializes in community health, and has even received an award from the Bill Gates Foundation." 
 "Rooms have a rustic feel, but all the required amenities are there. Its attraction mainly lies in its two pools, a semiprivate beach, and its tucked-away location in a quiet part of Pattaya." Full review
