"Beautiful resort with an excellent view!"
Going anywhere new, one never know what they are going to get, but Baan Taranya exceeded my expectations by far. We arrived from Phuket on a longtail boat that took us right to the hotel's own pier (very convenient). From there we were greeted by the lovely staff, and while we signed in they even brought us some refreshing juice!
The room was lovely. It had relaxing chairs on the front porch, with an amazing view of a limestone cliff island in the near distance. The mini bar is a plus! Bed mattresses are a bit firm, but I hear that is good for your back :)
I can't say enough about the staff. They were all very helpful and kind to us, and booked our taxi and speed boat off the island to our next destination. Kayaks can be borrowed for free, and scooters (aka motorbikes) can be rented for a small fee of 300 baht ($9 USD) for the whole day!
The food at the restaurant was also very good. They offer a nice variety of traditional Thai dishes, with a selection of Western ones as well.
Highly recommended.
