Beach Club by Haadtien

Great views and beautiful bay. We stayed in Family Villa which is really 2 rooms with the door opened between them. Each room has a balcony and nice bathrooms with big king sized bed. The beach is pretty empty with lots of coral / fish life - however a lot of it is damaged by the swimmers / boats. There is a bus that goes into town at set times which is handy and hired a scooter for 2 days to visit other beaches - this is good fun. Even though it was cloudy you can still lie out next to the amazing pool or on the beach and still get sun tanned.

There are steep steps down to the restaurant / beach - and i mean steep. Im pretty fit but the area is very steep - and a bit of a drag nip back to your room. Reef on site Diving is very expensive compared to other centers as is the spa. Whilst we were there in August it was very windy so sea was rough and diving not great. That is not the fault of the hotel. The bay was pretty sheltered from the prevailing south westerlies. We had a few issues wih aircon not working and door locks not working but staff fixed those.

Amazing facilities and views. Good size of room and very clean. We loved the pool and especially our friend Oskar who always served us with a smile. An extra thank you to him for our memorable stay.

Its very far away from everything and the taxis are extortionate to get anywhere which is a shame. We paid the same price to get to another bay than we paid to go all the way to Koh Samui. More shuttles offered by the hotel would be great.
