The place was amazing. Great breakfast choices and setting, the rooms were thoughtfully designed and the pool was perfect for a little swim. Very peaceful surroundings of nature and we even got a little surprise visit from a monkey family that brightened our already good day. We would definitely revisit if we have the chance. The location is not walkable from the beach, which was not a problem for us since we had a car and it shouldn't be a problem since the hotel provides multiple options but maybe this information will be useful for someone. It is very close though. We saw many people using a bike, which was nice.

There were some issues with the hot water in one of the rooms, which got resolved extremely fast nonetheless.

The staff are incredible. Always willing to help you out with a smile. Inc taking us to the local 7 Eleven when we arrived late which was a nice touch. We were travelling with a 2yr old and a 4 yr old and they were just so great with them. The pool area is nice, although the pool itself gets a bit warm in the afternoon, but not much you can do about that in the heat. The area of the resort is really nice. The walkway from the main complex to the accommodation was lovely, very green and jungle feel to it. There were plenty of free shuttle buses and only 200 baht if you wanted to pay for one outside of those. The villa location around the lagoon was just awesome - even with the cheeky monkeys - but they just added to the vibe.

There was really not very much to not like. Only thing I would say is that the breakfast selection was really quite odd at times! Pasta with pesto and chicken wings I just didn't expect to see :D Not enough fresh fruit in my opinion. I would have been happy with a banana and some mango and sticky rice.....not chicken stew :P Also you can't order anything between 10am-11am, even water or coffee/tea, which was a bit annoying But minor grievances all in all

Idyllic location, by the river and surrounded by forest and overshadowed by two large mountains. It is far away from the town, but shuttle service is provided every 2 hours (9am to 7pm). Taxi costs around 120-200 baht one way if you want to travel outside of these hours. Room was of good size and Clean. Two bottles of water provided each day. Breakfast was continetal with some thai dishes, different dishes offered on different days, stale pastries but muffins were OK. Food in restaurant was tasty, prices similar to restaurants in the city. Lovely swimming pool, towels provided. There were monkeys around jumping on the patio roof around 6am each day, natural alarm clock I suppose. They are not aggressive unless you carry food on you - be warned. Overall, our stay was very positive, we loved the location, the food OK, but the hard mattress and noisy neighbours has taken a star away from otherwise perfect review.

uncomfortable mattress and paper thin walls, so can easily be woken up by noisy neighbours.

We spent 12 dream days in this fantastic resort, hard to match anywhere in the world. The location itself is extremely exotic and peaceful, it benefits from an exceptional natural setting (exotic vegetation and huge rocks covered with vegetation in the background), the resort was outside the town of Aonang, the staff is very, very attentive, responsive and kind, the apartment it's very spacious - 72 square meters and well laid out, the extremely cute monkeys that walked around the resort every day looking for food, the monitor lizard, the terrace on the lake, the very cute fish that the kids fed, the pool and the pool facilities , including the bar and grill, kayaks for a leisurely ride on the lake. A big plus is the free round trip shuttle from the resort to Aonang town center every two hours starting at 9am and ending at 7pm. In particular, Nuna and Jahja, but also the other girls at the reception, were very kind and a real help, when I needed information for all the activities and excursions we did in Aonang. I recommend this resort with confidence, it will not disappoint anyone. It's a fabulous location that deserved more than a 10. Anytime, I would love to come back to this paradise on earth.

I liked everything!!!

The establishment is beautiful. excellent poolside service. very good breakfast.

We had arranged transfer from the airport to the hotel (700baht ) . The driver was 40 minutes late after we called twice. The reception didn’t do anything to rectify the situation after we arrive.

Beautiful resort with a jungle feel and a very relaxing atmosphere. We really enjoyed our time there. We love it and would definitely return for f back to Ao Nang. My highlights were the cheeky monkeys running on our roof and terrace! That is really special and yes sometimes they do that very early morning but a fun way to wake up! The staff were super lovely even if language was a bit of a barrier sometimes. but they always tried hard to be helpful and we really appreciated that.

Maybe a little more maintainance/care at the back of the bungalows as there are a few unloved patches which is a shame as the place is beautiful.

This resort is Fantastic!! Many thanks to Nuna and her staff for giving us such a fantastic experience. Every one was very happy to help, polite with nothing ever being too much trouble. The location is only 1.5 miles for Ao Nang but feels like you are in a remote jungle setting with so much wildlife and beautiful surroundings. The monkeys do give you an early wake up call but it was a great thing to experience and made sure we had a full day… There’s loads to do Elephants 2mins away for feeding , bathing etc. fishing 1km away. The staff are super happy to arrange type of excursion you like from island boat trips to temples etc. The food is first class and super cheap and cocktails. There’s a free shuttle bus up till 7pm into the beach from very busy town where’s there’s tonnes of food places , night markets and entertainment. A taxi back is around 200bht (£5) we’ve just move to Kau Lak to a Platimum resort and wish we had another week in Poonsiri!!

Nothing

I travelled here with my 8 year old daughter and we quickly fell in love with the place. It's quite magical, a peaceful and quiet spot. The pool was a particular highlight. At nights, unbelievably, we had it all to ourselves and had refreshing dips before bed. The pool bar served the most incredible pineapple drinks, the best of our whole stay in Thailand. We also loved the roaming cheeky monkeys! It's right next door to an elephant shelter and one morning we wandered over to feed the elephants, an easy walk. So if you're not feeling energetic you can still do something fun and very convenient. The air conditioning was excellent and well needed! The scenery was simply stunning. The hotel did a free shuttle to the beach, and that was appreciated.

The bed was very very firm. That might be considered a positive by some people!
