Thiwson Beach Resort - SHA Extra Plus

Absolutely wonderful, we stayed here as a family of 4 and as it was a last minute booking (day before!) there weren't any bungalows left on the beach. We had read the one we would be getting was across the road and up a hill and so had slight reservations. We had no need to be concerned! Our family bungalow was absolutely perfect and we actually were so glad we had this one instead of any at the 'main area'. We had the whole area to ourselves as it was low season (April 10th-13th) and it was perfect; The pool is just beautiful, the rooms absolutely huge and gorgeous, outdoor shower, good air-conditioning and a adjoining patio area between the two double rooms. We were surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens/greenery and each bungalow has 2 reclining sun beds with comfy cushions, there were also plenty of these around the pool with umbrellas. It was like we had our own private resort!! We ventured down to the restaurant, a mere 60 second walk and you pass a shop on the way for supplies. The restaurant served lovely food and drinks and this is where the main resort is. Peaceful, a pool and lots more bungalows. As we were truly spoilt by our 'private resort' area up the hill, we were glad to return there after dinner, no noise from other people or children 🤣 The pictures do not do this place justice. We also hired a scooter with a side car and ventured about. So the beaches are not as picturesque on this island due to low tide revealing more of a muddy sand, but high tide you can swim in it. We went to Laem Had Beach 5 minute scooter ride away where you need to visit at high tide or just after to capture the 'joining' of the two sides of the sea. We swam in the sea and it was lovely. I would definitely stay here again, and only in the bungalows up the hill! Oh also the towels smelt amazing! And the staff also did some washing for us that also smelt amazing!

Staff was amazing...very kind people...this accommodation has a beautiful garden with private beach but you can swim in the sea only during high tide..a recommend to rent a motorbike.

A MUST: GET THE SEA VIEW ROOM!! What a view to wake up to or have a bath with th3 sea view rooms. Hired a motorbike from the resort which gave us complete freedom to explore the island. Prettily much 1 road goes around the island so easy to get around. It's almost a must to have a bike unless you don't want to leave the resort. There is a shop opposite for basic needs. Breakfast was pretty good and had plenty of options. Had a massage on the beach giving you lovely sounds of th3 waves but no people noises. Overall; if you want tranquil, peace and great authentic food - come here. Don't expect a night life at all. What you get is time with your family alone, and plenty of great restaurants to eat and chat.

The location was great, the facilities were fantastic (swimming pool, restaurant, accommodation etc) - breakfast was definitely one of a few best in Thailand - can highly recommend this resort

The location, pool area, staff, amazing breakfast, amenities and value for money all incredible! Only a short 7 min taxi from the pier if travelling from Phuket. We had three rooms and had booked relatively last minute and were blown away from start to finish. I had some read some reviews about ‘stiff staff’ but that couldn’t be further from our experience, all staff were so friendly and so helpful. We rented scooters from hotel which was very easy. The breakfast is fantastic and the views were breathtaking by the pool and on the beach area. I don’t think it’s an issue you can’t swim directly from hotel as lots of other incredible beaches around the island which is worth exploring. Would book again any time!
