Seaflower Bungalows

This is my 2nd stay at the Seaflower Resort, and this time I stayed 12 nights over New Year. I love this resort, beautiful gardens, Swimming Pool, a few minutes to the beach with Beach Loungers and the Beach bar, which serves delicious food and drinks. I was so happy to see that they now sell bottled wine, and the wine list was quite extensive and reasonably priced for Thailand. Wine is still an issue to get in most of the places or very expensive. I stayed at one of the two Heaven Suites and as it is a duplex, it provides lots of space. The Restaurant is opened from 8:00 am until 4 pm and again at 6 pm until closure. What I like most is, that the complete menu is available at all time, so you can go for breakfast or lunch any time and order what you like. The menu at the Restaurant offers a lot of variety, like Western dishes, Asian dishes, breakfast specific or lunch/dinner specific meals. I tried a lot of the food during my stay and every one was delicious and a nice portion and reasonable priced for a Beach Resort. Most of the time I get easily bored with the breakfast options or food options during my stay due to limited choices, but fortunately not at this resort. The staff is very nice, welcoming and attentive. Of course, they know the guest, which stay a bit longer fairly good and when having a bottle of wine in the evening at the beach and not finished, they kept it for the next time in the fridge for you. It is easy to get in contact with the people at the beach bar and a lot of guest from other resorts at the beach are joining in the evening for a good meal or just a drink. The resort has twice per week a barbecue by the beach with live music, which is always a nice place to hang out and meet friendly people. Also, the family who owns the resort are very nice and charming people, and you feel right away as a friend, not just a guest. I had a wonderful stay and would recommend to everyone. This is just a valid review for the resort, as unfortunately outside the resort things has changed over the years due to full moon party young crowds with quite often unbelievable behavior on the roads. Bike accidents are happening a lot unfortunately, less by the locals, more by the tourists. All of this is not in the responsibility of the resort owners, more by the local politicians or police, and I really hope that they find a way to control the traffic better in the near future.
