Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently highlight the Thiwson Beach Resort's charming, rustic bungalows, some offering lovely views. The breakfast, served right on the beach, is a popular feature, praised for its extensive choices and daily variety. The spacious rooms, often equipped with mosquito nets and air conditioning, contribute to a comfortable stay, and some guests enjoyed the outdoor shower. While the beach area can be affected by low tide, many find the location convenient for exploring the island, with Laem Had Beach being just a short scooter ride away, and some have found the facilities a bit crowded during peak times.
