before starting this review i just need to make sure i've taken note of as many different superlatives as possible - you know... lest the review get a bit boring. ok... amazing. that seems to be the most obvious one. indulgent. the price tag to be there is not cheap, but everything about your stay makes every baht worth it. serene. it's just so quiet and peaceful. and after a few days you can see it written all over people's faces - smiling and relaxed. we stayed for six nights in a beachfront villa and loved every moment of our stay. all the villas are the same size and presumably the same in terms of amenities and services. the garden villas are about a minute or two lazy stroll to the beach, so if the beachfront ones are outside what you can afford, you're by no means missing out. we'd read some reviews suggesting the beach view villas were great because you're saving money and the beach is just there, and there's a bit more privacy than being on the beach. and that'd be right too. one of the things i loved about the beachfront villas was the view out the window from the shower - looking across our pool to the sand and trees on beach. it was paradise. so really, whichever you room you choose you'll be happy. as with just about anywhere in thailand, the people are divine. they smile from the heart and help to make your stay that much more personable. we noticed they had quite a number of "trainee" staff working in the restaurant and sunset bar. it's worth pointing this out because for many types of traveller, they won't offer any concession to this - they'll demand top level service because of the price they're paying. they'll expect flawless levels of english comprehension (despite the fact they themselves cannot speak a word of thai). the truth is, there are properties in thailand and around the world waaaaaay more expensive than Paradee. perhaps in those properties you can be more demanding. if you're staying at Paradee you've surely chosen to relax, unwind and hopefully even unplug. there's no need for airs and graces here - that'd be incongruous with the surrounds. it's certainly worth knowing you're quite isolated at Paradee. don't choose to stay here if you're expecting to wander down the beach to eat at other restaurants or bars. there used to be a cafe open on the beach ten minutes walk away but even that has closed whilst a new resort is being built. the good news is the restaurant at Paradee is... superb. the menu has a wide variety of both thai and western food. we ate from both menus and the food is delicious. the green papaya salad was other-worldly as was the chicken massaman curry, to name but two. Paradee is the place to come to when you want to relax and chill. they specifically ask you to be mindful of noise after 10pm, so if you're after a party, look elsewhere.

My wife and I spent three nights here as a wonderful conclusion to a five week holiday across SE Asia and Australia. Everything was provided and managed extemely well. The environment and staff were first rate and the location, peace and environment were simply sensational.

Paradise! Collected from Rayon Pier on the mainland we were looked after and thoroughly spoilt by the staff. We had a villa with a small plunge pool which was roomy and comfortable. The pool and beach area was stunning, copious towels and loungers. The staff couldn't do enough for us. Lovely breakfast and we absolutely loved this hotel. Can highly recommend
