This resort is simply perfect. The place is stunning, clean, and well maintained, with breathtaking views of untouched, peaceful nature. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, a real chance to disconnect. The staff made us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived. They were kind, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed, from useful local tips to making sure we had everything for a comfortable stay. The on-site restaurant is excellent, serving fresh and delicious food. Our room was spacious, beautifully designed, and very clean. The pool is great too, and we had so much fun taking a kayak out to explore the little island just across the water. There are also great night markets and local restaurants nearby. Renting a car made everything easy and gave us the freedom to explore the area at our own pace. We absolutely loved our stay and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Beautiful resort, rooms are stunning with everything you need, beach and bar area amazing too! Staff very helpful and friendly, we loved it so much we booked an extra night Only short 10 min walk to bars and restaurants

We enjoyed our stay here so much. It wasn’t too far from the pier and felt like we were in the middle of everything. It had great food too! The property and grounds is so well looked after and it’s absolutely stunning. There was plenty of sunbeds on the beach if the pool was full. The pool and the view is amazing. The hut is gorgeous and attention to detail really shows 🥰 should we return we would definitely pick Baan Manali again. Hire a motor cycle from just round the corner & easy walking distance from 7/11.

It’s definitely not the best beach on the island but you are fortunate to have the pool to cool yourself down.

Baan Manali is paradise on earth. Everything from the bungalows to the scenery, staff and breakfast in the cafe was simply perfect. I also love their sustainable mindset! One example of the staff’s personal approach is when my boyfriend went to fill our 1,5 liter water bottle late in the evening, but the big canister was empty. He was given two smaller bottles from the reception and when we woke up the next morning a filled 1,5 liter water bottle was also waiting us on the terrace. :) Thank you for making our stay so nice! Bungalow nr 9.

Fantastic food at fair prices, great and helpful employees, the pool is cold but not too cold which is just what you would want to cool off. Comfortable sunbeds. Ability to rent kayak or SUP from the hotel. Quiet area, about 10 - 15min walk to the centre of town. About 5min walk to a seven eleven and a ATM. The hotell has a great vibe with lots of flowers and plants.

The beach, although close, is not very swimming friendly because the tide makes it shallow. But we already knew that. Did our research before booking. Still a fantastic hotell. There were some construction when we were there, But never early morning or at night. Visited the hotel in june (low season)

Private deluxe Villa amongst beautiful gardens and so very peaceful and relaxing. Food in restaurant was excellent as was the coffee. Much appreciated. The pool was cool and refreshing, location is excellent if you want to be central to everything you need and close to pier. I walked Thongsala, and did the day tour , don’t miss it. Details at reception. Loved my stay at Baan Manali. The staff cannot do enough for you and are so welcoming. The cool welcome tea is delicious and grounds are immaculate.

Nothing

This place is heaven on earth! The pictures dont do it justice. We were there with 2 young chiildren and yet I have never felt so calm in my life. The water is shallow and calm which was perfect for the children to be independent and we could easily keep watch. There is plenty of shade to be able to stay outside all day if you wish. The food at the restaurant is amazing and location is excellent.

We got the delux bungalow which comes with a couch. However, we had to pay for an 'extra bed' while they just made the couch for our son. It wasnt clear to us during the booking that we will be losing the seating area to the 'bed'. We spent little time indoors so in practice it didnt matter but I never had to pay to use the sofabed in my room. This should clarified

The pool and beach location was lovely. The hammock was also a lovely touch! The huge bed was very comfortable and the property was clean. Beautiful spa up the road- Pure Relax- is a nice treat! Laundry service beside 7/11 is also very useful.

The entrance to the bungalows is difficult to navigate with suitcases. Due to a change of plan, I ended up having two bookings for two different rooms at the property over two nights- the staff made this quite complicated when it really didn’t need to be. This made me quite uncomfortable.

We stayed at Baan Manali in 6 days. I can gladly rekommend this place for all kunde of travels. It is rather quiet place with bungalows on mark. Bungalows have a high standard, clean and we'll constricted. The restaurant menu offers an excellent choice of dishes. The staff friendly and kind. Only one thing I can point out slightly negative is the sea - the water was shallow and boring.

The sea - not good for swimming

The beach huts were amazing, so comfortable and cool at night. The hotel itself is so beautiful right by the sea, and the breakfast and cocktails were really good. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating, they even upgraded us to a beach front hut. Would really recommend this hotel.

The room could have done with a hairdryer seeing as it was near the sea. Also the locks on the room doors were a bit difficult to lock properly.
