    The perfect island getaway - ideal to relaxation.

    Liked : Ailay Resort is almost at the end of the beach which makes it particularly quiet; it is as if you are the only one there. Better than most other resorts, almost all bungalows are directly at the beach and have full ocean view, lots of windows, and indoor bathrooms. They are really comfortable and spacious, though not really luxurious or stylish. The owners are really friendly, hospitable, and super accommodating. While the menu is not expansive or fancy, it is really excellent Thai home cooking. The enormously wide 4 km long beach in the bay is most beautiful with white sand, quite clean, ideal for long walks, jogging, yoga, kajaking, and hours in the water - you barely see other people, and no noisy boats or beach bar night life. At night, you only hear the cicadas and the waves of the ocean. During high tide you can snorkel around the reefs and during low tide explore the tide pools.

    Disliked : Free wifi was spotty. Bathroom had some ants and other creepy crawlies.
