白沙海灘渡假村 - 象島

Romantic for a married couple.

This accommodation is all about location. In my opinion it’s located on the best part of the beach on the island, however for some it is too far to walk to the central area where there are bars, restaurants to choose from. I personally enjoy the walk along the beach in the evening to access these busier areas. It is possible to rent a motorcycle to climb the steep hill out of the resort but you have to be a very competent rider as the hill is extremely steep! The bungalows are becoming outdated, particularly the bathroom, however, some have new, quiet aircon units. All have a fridge, tv, Kettle, hairdryer & reasonably priced mini bar. There is quite a difference in size & condition of the bungalows so you have to choose carefully. Breakfast has improved , good selection of hot curries, rice, toast, eggs cooked to order, waffles, sausages etc. Steps now been taken to cover the food from flies which was a problem in the past. Food from restaurant is actually quite good, although at busy times service can be slow. Bungalows are quite expensive for what you get, but you are basically paying for location. If you don’t like the sound of the sea, then this place is not for you as the sea can sound quite loud at night especially if high tide.

Most relaxing location on White Sands beach. Resort needs some investment as it’s a bit run down.

PRO - Ideal place if you want to be on a quiet beach and very close to town - quick access from/to the ferry - room has everything you need to be comfortable CON - the staff left me with no impression in some rooms the porch or the room behind is very close to the bathroom LOCATION Very short ride from the ferry. Since most people don’t walk on this part of the beach it’s very quiet. Walking on the beach It took me 5 min to walk to the next restaurant and another 10 min into town itself. You can also drive a scooter into town in about 5min -be aware that this section of road is extremely steep and winding. You can also get a taxi for 100-150 baht. ROOM Comfortable & clean with daily housekeeping. There is a small fridge with drinks and snacks. You can also buy stuff at 7-11 and keep it in the fridge. Kettle with instant coffee and tea. AirCon works great. No ceiling fan + cannot open the window. Shower has hot water + light water pressure. No safe. The one flaw in the design is the bathroom. the Slits in the wall look out onto the porch of the room behind. It feels a little less private. not sure you can be partially seen but you can be heard. STAFF & RESTAURANT There were no smiles and that’s saying a lot in Thailand. Checkin staff were quick. Restaurant staff was reasonably quick and housekeeping did a good job. I only ate at the restaurant only once because they really left no impression. Tons of great places to eat along the beach and in town.

Booked elsewhere, but when we didn't fond it, we booked a night here. Kayaked off the point, private hammock with a man sun bathing and reading a book. Walked down the beach for dinner. Lunch at White Sands Resort. Family cabins available.
