Frommer's Review

Unique in a landscape of cookie-cutter, high-end resorts, the Laem Set Inn sets its own standard of style, traditional luxury and fine service in this isolated corner of paradise. Lauded in the international press, this cozy hideaway is a collection of uniquely designed Thai suites ranging from rustic thatch bungalows to private pool villas. Many of the top standard suites at the Laem Set are built from the rural teak homes from outlying islands that were saved from the wrecking ball (or desertion) and moved here and carefully rebuilt: very unique. There are secluded places for anyone from the honeymoon couple to the rowdy family (and the property is designed to keep said groups far apart). Family suites have bunk beds, private baths for kids and small family dining nooks. The most exclusive accommodations are the private two-bedroom suites decorated with hand-hewn furniture and a certain regional grace. Large porches bookend all villas and provide a perch for drinking in views beyond the pounding surf to nearby No Dog Island. Basic fan-cooled rooms are comfortable, but less charming than the thatched bungalows, which have beds canopied with mosquito netting and a large loft above. Kayaks, mountain bikes, and snorkel gear are available to explore this location's stunning scenery. Wireless Internet comes standard in all areas free of charge. The elevated pool seamlessly blends with the gulf, reflecting sea and sky, and the pavilion restaurant serves gourmet fare and delicious Thai seafood. This boutique inn is true rustic luxury, far from the crowds and intimate. Friendly staff cater to any need -- an ideal getaway.

Facilities: 2 restaurants; bar; outdoor pool; fitness center; Jacuzzi; sauna; watersports equipment; bike and motorcycle rental; children's programs; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; limousine service; business center; limited room service; massage; babysitting; same-day laundry service.
