ThaiLife Homestay Resort & Spa

We arrived New Years Day from Krabi with our dog Boo and we were all so excited and relieved to be there as it was better than expected! The staff were very welcoming, the villa was spacious and well equipped, the bed was one of the best I’ve slept in and the property itself is beautiful from so many angles. The semi outdoor shower was really nice to use while looking up to the sky and the nature, the beach was beautiful with great food and drinks from the restaurant and the buffet breakfast was tasty as well. The price seemed expensive when we booked but ypu definitely get value for money for the service and food and drink were cheap. And lastly the native birds have beautiful calls after whistles and it was lovely sitting on the balcony or watching them by the lake, it was truly and escape and so tranquil. We will definitely be coming back!!

The reception had a collection of DVD’s that you could watch however our DVD player wasn’t working and the channel choices were limited on the TV. For the price you pay there should be decent cable TV or working equipment. Providing a HDMI cord so guests can connect their laptop to the TV would be an easy add-on. The breakfast buffet was nice but not the best I’ve experienced, the bacon wasn’t being refilled fast enough a few times so we had to wait (the bacon was very tasty!), the range of salad and other hot breakfast options wasn’t large but it was enough. Out of their control but there were a lot of sea lice in the water which meant only a quick dip every time I went in which was disappointing because the water is really nice there. They charged us 500baht/night extra for our dog which was not clearly stated nor paid for at the time of booking online. It was only after we had made the booking were we notified about this extra cost, this should be clearly detailed as an extra cost so people have the choice before paying as ours was a last minute booking. And 500baht extra a nigh is expensive considering it was based on the size of our dog and the price we had already paid to stay there...there was nothing extra provided for my dog in this price.

Perfect place for a quiet and resourceful stay ! Good breakfast

Good in a cozy environment with some birds at the resort

Fully booked spa very early and cannot arrange service at villa. Had to hire a taxi costing 700 return to an outside massage parlor. Operating hours of the spa is too short, no service after 7pm

Pretty much everything. Free bikes. Beautiful setting - gardens, villa overlooking the minilake. Very deliciously cooked food. Good value for money in the low season. Definitely going back if we're around the area.

Construction area on the way to the beach - though there's not much they can do about that. Villas surround a lake - so plenty of mosquitoes.
