Though not every Thai beach hotel that claims to be a "resort and spa" really measures up, this place does live up to its name. Massages, scrubs, Thai herbal steams—you'll find it all here in their beautiful facility. Rooms are tasteful and cheery with bright colors and pretty views, and some have cozy balconies. The restaurant, Sala Thai, offers a set menu for B2,000. Don't be surprised if you see a lot of Germans there; the restaurant's sister location is in Hamburg. Pros: spectacular spa; nice restaurant. Cons: a bit overpriced; not the most happening location.
