Wonderful experience. Our room was a good size (one of the ones with a jacuzzi bath). The mosquito net was dropped around the bed and a citronella candle lit every evening. Restaurant was good although the food was bland (possibly as a result of too many western visitors complaining about the spicy dishes). We were there for two nights and a day in February. Managed to get a sunbed for the day, but we were up to watch the sun rise (east facing resort)! We got the fast ferry from Ao Nang to the south pier on the island (650BHAT pp), then a taxi to the Tha Khao Pier on the east side (200BHAT pp), then a longtail boat to the Tree House/Paradise resort (800BHAT for the boat). This missed out the 30 minute single track bumpy road that takes you from the middle of the island to the resort. We did the same on the way back so never found out how bad the road is.
Service, interior design and all were perfect! However, there was a lack of water in the villa. For each tap, especially the rain shower, there was no water at intervals of 1 minute.
