Please do not come here!

We are on a years trip around the world and stayed in various low budget places in Thailand....we do not mind low budget , cheap accommodation- but we do mind having gold rings stolen!

We stayed here after booking a trip around thailand in a bangkok travel agents- everywhere else on the trip was delightful.... we went to bangkok, krabi, phi phi, surat thani and finally koh samui.
Firstly I would not recommend coming to the island, the beaches are not as beautiful as other places in Thailand such as koh toh, phi phi, krabi...not much to do there....taxis are expensive compared to everywhere else and generally did not feel safe as a young lady here.

The bungalow we stayed in was riddled with big ants, however we had a lovely view from our room. the room was dated and could do with a good clean, but like i said before-we werent too bothered by any of this....the restaurant food was lovely and cheap...like other reviews have said, the beach isn't very clean, nor nice...and very windy and dirty.

On our last day of our time on the island we decided to do an island tour- not much to see, but we had a good laugh at how rubbish it was! Anyways, I had left my jewelery out in a rush and left the key for the cleaner. looking back i wish i had slowed down getting ready to go out and made sure everything was packed away- but still- you do not expect a cleaner or staff member to steal from paying customers....

we returned at the end of the day oblivious to this and set off for bangkok the following day- to open my bags in bagkok and find no gold jewellery. I am a young 23 year old girl who has nothing to her name apart from sentimental pieces of jewellery from her nan, dad and younger brother....so as you can imagine i was devestated. we rang the hotel from the hotel we stayed in at bangkok to have a very rude response after asking if anyone had seen the rings....she said that nobody would have taken the rings and why didnt i check before i left! I know all of this,and i wish i had checked before i left but just because i wasnt careful doesnt mean its finders keepers! Our trip around Thailand ended in tears and a trip to the police station..

please please please if you do go here or have already booked make sure you carry ALL your valuables on you at all times- no safe in room- only behind the reception desk- do not trust this.

Very simple accommodations with access to a beautiful beach, the restaurant is reasonably priced, and resort has motorbike rentals and message by the beach.

Room could look a little nicer, and walls might need to be repainted, towels bleached a bit more, but everything else felt quite clean.

Weather is a sight for sore eyes on the beach, it's incredibly windy and the waves are only fun for so long.

Service was great though, we were nice and patient with them, and when they found out we were on our honeymoon, and that my partner had come earlier that year, they treated us like friends, gave us a good deal on price, and a nice motorbike. (A motorbike is better then paying 100 baht for cab/taxi rides to and from resort and towns)

A nice family run business too.

We are 6 friends from Latvia who stayed in Silver Beach resort for 5 days in beginnig of december 2010! Silver beach resort not the right place where to spend your holiday! The sea(ocean) was dirty all the time,the weather was very bad(all the time was raining),but the worst thing about this resort,the staff was very rood with as,very poor service! Bungalows are very old and with mouldy smell,it was really something hurrable! We will not advice to stay there,because there are more beatufil places in Thailand!
