About the hotel:
the resort was good, quite basic but lovely spot. I was really disappointed with the beach it used to be gorgeous including rest of railay but since the Tsunami it is just rocks and broken coral and unless you have swimming shoes its not possible. Such a pity. most places show lovely photos of pre Tsunami. Tonsai is great if you a rock climbing enthusiast but not a swimming beach. Power goes off each afternoon for 2 hrs 3-5. no room service as there is no phone. if the tide is out you have walk miles from the longtail drop off with all your luggage in the heat on the beach.
About the reservation service:
good as usual. Could you contact Tonsai bay and ask them if they found a large brown envelope with all our documents in it. there is an phuket address on there where they could send it or to us in australia. thanks so much

About the hotel:
decent basic resort.not too luxurious for the price.no minibar or phone for room service.best and interesting part is getting to the resort.early mornings u can go directly by boat.afternoons u need to take a boat from ao nang to railay beach,then depending on the tide either walk through the rocky seashore,which is not at all recommended,as u will surely cut ur self,very sharp rocks.2nd and fun filled option climb the steep mountain,not too risky but then too watch ur step.and use the mountain only if u have light luggage.overall location is awesome.but resort is basic.
About the reservation service:

About the hotel:
This resort is amazing! Even if you don t want to rock climb there is plenty for you to do.The beach was the only down side to this resort although it didn t spoil our time spent here. There is alot of coral on the beach so make sure you wear footwear while on the beach (crocs are very handy). The food at the restaurant was always very tasty and the staff amazing. We stay in a superior bungalow and i have no fault with them at all. The rooms were cleaned daily and we always had clean towels.A boat to Ao Nang is only 80 baht one way if you want a little more life, we went over 1 night during our stay although it was too busy as we were looking for a quite holiday. Kayaks are a good way to get around and very reasonable for half day. I would absolutely stay at this resort again and recommend it.

About the hotel:
This hotel is stunning, the bungalows are clean and comfortable. We had a superior bungalow and i would recommend this as the standard rooms are towards the front of the resort and i can imagine them being quiet noisy at night. There are monkeys around the resort and this adds to the paradise and really makes you feel away from it all. The staff were always very helpful especially at the restaurant. I would say if staying at this resort take a rucksack as a suitcase it quiet awkward. All in all a fab resort and i would definately stay here again.
About the reservation service:
2nd time using this company and just a good as the first time. Will be using again very soon

About the hotel:
Tonsai Bay was amazing!!! Surrounded by lush tropical forest and mountains for climbing. Great people and a chill vibe. Can also walk to Railey Beach when the tide is low. There you will find white sand beaches and crystal clear water. The bungalows were average but the total experience was well worth it!!!

About the hotel:
Be warned about this place. Peak season price is nowhere near worth it. Photos look ok but the room was grubby, it never got cleaned. There is also barely any difference between the superior and delux rooms, certainly not 500 bart difference. This room is worh nowhere near 2950 bart/night!!!
About the reservation service:
No problems with bokking servive, very efficient.

About the hotel:
Quite nice place at Tonsai Beach. Nice bungalow and friendly staff. The bed was a bit too hard for my taste.. A bit more relaxed feeling here than on Railey with lots of climbers and backpackers. Believe Tonsai Bay resort is a bit more posh than the other places at Tonsai beach so you might find cheaper accomodation elsewhere. OK to be on the beach and swim below the cliffs although a bit nicer if you tak a longtail to phra nang beach. Lots of OK restaurants up in the jungle.
About the reservation service:
Excellent bookingservice with quick replies

About the hotel:
Clean rooms with airco and warm water. Nice exotic environment.
Things to be aware of:
the only way to reach the resort is by boat from Ao Nang (but you were looking for a quiet, isolated place, weren t you?)
electricity is not available from 9AM to 5PM. (every day)
Definetely worth the price.

About the hotel:
Sadly we were disappointed with this resort. The rooms did not get cleaned very well and the bathroom was not cleaned at all while we were there. Small things which make your stay more comfortable were also absent such as a bedside lamp for reading although I requested one several times and a mirror in the bathroom. We originally booked for just 3 nights but ended up having to stay longer because nowhere else in the vicinity had any vacancies.
The restaurant where breakfast was served was also dirty with hundreds of flies all over the place. The breakfast buffet was never covered over and the flies were always crawling over everything. Most of our family ended up with stomach upsets which has never happened before to us in Thailand, but then we have never shared our breakfast with flies before!
My advice to anyone looking for a resort in this area is to go elsewhere. The Tonsai Bay resort is too expensive for what you get and is probably the worst mid-range resort we have ever stayed at in Thailand.
About the reservation service:
Booking service was great. We altered our dates at one point and that was all changed with no problems.
