What an incredible experience staying at this hotel! The stunning view and sound of the sea waves make you fall in love with this place. Although it is a bit of a walk from the parking area, it adds to the authentic experience of that place. The staff is very kind and hospitable.

This place is located on the opposite side of the island from where all the events and parties are held. If you plan to stay for more than a few days, it is probably better to choose accommodation on the East Coast. Although the 40-minute ride through the amazing island scenery is enjoyable, it may become tedious if you have to take it every day. It can be uncomfortable as the staff doesn't speak English and the water supply is unstable.

Very peaceful place. So tranquil if that's what you're after. No night clubs to keep you awake. Right on the water front. Lovely rooms with your own spacious waterfront deck. The young Cambodian couple were delightful. So helpful and kind.

Just a bit quiet for my length of stay. But if serenity is what you want then this place will be perfect!

The location is amazing if you want a truly relaxing stay. It really is stunning and the community are so welcome. The food they serve is delicious and really good value for money. The staff are lovely. I love that you can just jump into the sea and have a swim

The bed was really uncomfortable Under the bed was really dusty

The views from the room are incredible and it's very quiet. You can't fault the cleanliness but this is no frills. Simple, comfortable and with a balcony looking over a beautiful view. There is a cafe nearby and a couple of nice restaurants so easy and relaxing for a couple of nights stay.. We enjoyed the chilling. Breakfast over the water is nice but simple fare. There are kayaks to hire which was nice too and an island to paddle to, but we never quite got round to it, The overall experience fits the price and we all enjoyed the peace and would go again for the views.

It is signposted at the car park but not really when you get there. It all looked locked up, but we rang and the lady running it turned up. She and the staff were really helpful once we found them. The pool is gorgeous and clean but could do with a few extra chairs by it. Bathroom amenities were limited and differed between the three rooms but the staff provided everything we asked for.

Everything was great. Thanks to our host that were very nice and helpful.

We would have loved fresh fruits for breakfast

The experience at Island View Resort was beyond our expectations. It's peaceful there, it is what an island should be really about. The staffs are amazing, they may not speak English fluently, but they try their very best to communicate with you. The swimming pool has the best view from the top. You may need to drive quite a distance to go there, but trust us, it's worth it! The breakfast is quite optional as well comparing to the price of the room. We really enjoyed it there, especially paddling with the Kayak to an island nearby. The balcony is huge, amazing view from above and beautiful sunrise as well. Will definitely go back there! 10 out of 10!

Nothing at all! We had an amazing time there.

Such a beautiful place with stunning views from the room. This place truly is paradise. We reserved the room just for a night but ending up staying a week. Day trip to other islands are a must. Staff are so friendly, Kanya was always so helpful to us, she's the sweetest staff we've met so far. The resort gave us an upgrade to a really nice room. It's next to the swimming pool, with stunning views. Definitely won't be our last time to this place.

At first my husband had a hard time with the mattress, but the resort set us a topper on the mattress and it was heaven sent.

Clean and quiet. The staff Is very friendly and gives plenty of tips on what to go do and see around. There is a bakery just around the corner that serves delicious sandwiches. It’s remote so you really get the feeling of being in a local place

The mattress is a bit hard but that is quite common in Thailand. Like most comments say it’s on the eastern side of the island so be sure to have a scooter ready to get there as transports and taxis tend to not go on that side of the island or at very high prices

Stunning location, great pool, large room & balcony with fridge (we had deluxe apartment). Having seen on previous reviews about communication difficulties we disagree. Hosts worked hard to communicate and occasionally used google translate. We also communicated through booking.com messenger which worked well. Nothing was too much for them - they were lovely.

We felt it was unclear whether breakfast was included as we assumed it was. Not a massive issue- slight miscommunication. If you have a car or a scooter, it is easy to get around.

The location, the personnel and sleeping on the water. It’s a great location to explore this side of the island. It’s probably the best part of the island if you like quietness. Not much people around here. The personnel is very nice and friendly!

Make sure you arrange a scooter before you arrive. You need it at this side of the island. We did get a scooter, but it was hard to get one. Be prepared beforehand. Not really a negative for the accommodation, but a tip for anybody staying here.
