OYO 619 Water Palm Resort

Excellent value for money. Very large, spotless clean rooms. 100 sg. metres with a huge balcony overlooking the small lake and the attractive pool area. Service is top notch and very friendly. The security consists of a geese couple, who will at first hiss and bask their wings at you, nobody enters this area un-noticed by they, but they will grow on you as they get acquainted with you. Feed them some snacks and you will be their friend forever :) We did not dine at the Water Palm Resort as we preferred to eat out at at the very friendly family driven thai restaurant at the main road, situated som 5-600 metres from the resort at the main road. They serve excellent, authentic thai food at bargain prices. There is a fishing village some 3 miles from the resort, from here you can visit the island Koh Ko Khao. Very nice and laid back. You can reach this island with a number of resort by taking the car ferry, it takes like 10 minutes to reach the island. The staff at the Water Palm can arrange that for you. They are a very resouceful bunch. However, in order to enjoy this place the most, it is advised either to bring your own wheels or arrange transportation, as it is a bit off the beaten track. That is one of the reasons why we liked it.
