We've spent a fantastic time at the Searounding. Very helpful and friendly owners, delicious food, comfortable new bungalows, quiet ... our little son loved this place as well as New&Jay (the owners). Hardly any mosquitos, even though its by the water. We wish we could have stayed there longer!

a wonderfully quiet complex in a fascinating landscape. Kate is an amazing host and manager. there is always coffee and fresh water. sometimes we got even some fruits or sweets to try. Everybody is always kind and caretaking. The cottages are equipped with mosquito nets and fans. comfortable mattress. large storage area and hanger. Everything is very clean upon arrival and is cleaned on demand. There are comfortable chairs on the shady veranda. The toilet is an incredible experience, you can see the starry sky and the birds in the trees to the side. There is no on-site restaurant, but you can eat great at the Bar or Eco Horizon on the beach in front, both a very short walk away. I love Rakkan Resort because of the traditional style, the calm and friendliness of the owners and staff. One sleeps fantastically and restfully. There are many exciting animals to watch and incredible landscape to explore. Highly recommended for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet.

Very authentic, nature welcoming, amaizing fresh local food and the host was super friendly. The trip from Kuraburi was very enjoyable, We also had a great time on the roadtrip from the pier to the location (aprox 20 min) in the back of the pickup van (we were 16 people) through the wild savannah scenery.

A great place to stay in Khura Buri, especially if you are headed to Surin islands. Tom can arrange everything for you to get there. We really appreciated the air-conditioned room after spending a week in the heat before. :) A great restaurant is just behind the corner, and so is 7eleven. Everyone from the staff is super nice!

Stunning location, super friendly, declicious food, felt like robinson cruisoe paradise but luxurious

I stayed on May 10, 2025, at a resort with a stunning view by the sea, which also offered STARBOARD activities. The food was fresh, delicious, and truly worth it. The service was warm and attentive — the staff were very friendly. One staff member in particular, Khun Boy, guided me around the property, recommended dishes, and took care of me throughout my stay. I didn’t expect a resort located far from the city to offer service comparable to a 5-star hotel. Their attention to guests was exceptional, far exceeding expectations — especially considering the room rates, which were very reasonable.

Location is great for relaxing. The hotel is right in front of the sea and it is natural to be beaten by the humidity and to look dated. Staying in a hotel that is 75% empty maybe scare some people, but to me it is a bonus, less people in the swimming pool, less people in breakfast etc

Beautiful property. We stayed in the bamboo cottage which doesn’t have AC although we could have paid more and upgraded to an AC room. Our room was comfortable, well designed & well thought through. There was a big mosquito net over the bed and also netting on all the windows so we didn’t find bugs to be an issue at all. Good bathroom with hot water shower with decent pressure. Staff are friendly & helpful. Location is sublime, right on a beautiful clean beach. Overall facilities are very good (including the restaurant). Excellent value for money, would recommend to anyone.

This idillic place is certainly the best option on the island, especially for what concerns the food. The bungalows are very confy and we just had the greatest time here.

This is a unique and very special place. Yes, it is not the easiest place to get to, but the best places never are, and BABA can organise everything. We had stayed in Phuket the night before. BABA sent a driver to pick us up and take us to the pier. Once we got to the pier, the Long Tail they organised was waiting for the 75 minutes ride between the islands and mangroves. As we approached the resort, BABA staff could be seen driving across the beach, waving, to meet up. BABA is spread out across a long stretch of perfect (and empty) beach. Accommodation is along the stretch, with individual buildings on stilts. Each building is different, but all have balconies, with loads of room and situated in the lush jungle. You can hardly see your neighbours through the trees. A sand path runs through the jungle with paths to each accommodation leading off. At one end of the path is their beach bar and Yoga, at the other end is their reception, restaurant and massage. It is a 10-15 minute walk between them (this place really is spaced out). All food is fresh, the menus change every day, and tastes fantastic. So should you come…. It is paradise, unspoiled like Thailand used to be. Miles of empty perfect beach, wonderful water, unbelievable food. Each lodge is large and comfortable It is also in the jungle, and monkeys will wake you up (which is fab), but if you want a City Hilton, this is not your place. If you would like wonderful paradise and don’t mind sleeping under the provided mosquito nets, this is your perfect(actually not many mosquitoes or bugs but it is jungle). We left a little of our heart there when we left, so unique, we miss it.
