Don Sak hotel guide. AVANI Hotels & Resorts hotel in Don Sak, Surat Thani Province

"When we arrived at the resort after a long taxi ride, we received a fantastic welcome from the staff. Martin (the Guest Manager) quickly seated us at a table in the lounge, where we were served a refreshing drink and cold towels. He took care of the entire check-in process there and explained how everything works at the resort. While we were waiting for our room to be ready—we arrived well before check-in—we were served afternoon tea. The rooms at this resort offer a spectacular view, as it is built along a mountainside overlooking the ocean. We were completely overwhelmed. The staff at this resort are absolutely wonderful. Everyone makes sure you have everything you need and is always happy to stop for a friendly chat, which makes the experience feel very personal. They remember what we usually order and ask the next time if we would like to have the same again. Examples of staff groups we interacted with include the lounge, breakfast, reception, traffic control, housekeeping, gardening, transport/shuttle, restaurant, and bar staff. Every single one of them is outstanding."

"A great hotel—I’d happily stay again. The rooms are clean, the beds comfortable, and the pool area relaxing, with a large, well-maintained pool. Breakfast is good: unlimited cereal and toast, plus a served plate of fried egg, sausage, and salad. Directly opposite the resort on the beachfront is a wonderful family-run Thai restaurant."
