Smile Beach Resort

We loved where Smile Beach resort was located. It was far enough away from Han Rin where all of the craziness of the full moon party is so we were able to relax when we wanted! The resort is situated extremely close to the beach and also the beach that we stayed on was amazing, there were actually people coming to our beach from much more expensive resorts because their beaches were terrible! The employees was extremely friendly and accommodating- we would leave our key at the front and our rooms would be spotless when we got back from the beach. There was a secure in the room that you can set the password yourself so it is extremely safe. In case you stay at Smile beach resort I suggest diving with France Plonge, they are amazing, and also eating at the Had Salaad Villa restaurant. the employees there is certainly friendly at the same time :)

We really liked exactly where we stayed in Haad Salad. The beach was just a 2 minute walk away and it was nice and noiseless if you like that sort of thing. We ate at the Smile restaurant literally everyday and enjoyed it so much! We went to other places but it wasn&'t as good as what they had at Smile. It is 200THB per person each way to go to the Full Moon Party but that&'s absolutely nothing for just one night out. If you like Haad Rin you could often get a moped and drive around the island to explore. A word of warning I do not suggest going to the bike shop directly in front of the Smile Resort. I hired a moped for 24hrs which was 200THB but they stung us with 11, 000THB in damages to the moped. For the tiniest of scratches they will charge 400-600+THB for each tiny scratch they &'may&' see. Just be careful, read the charges for any damages simply because once you have signed it, that&'s your contract. They will only take passports as deposits! They should not be doing that. Bikes are affordable to buy but they are on an island. That was the worst thing about our trip (not a complaint about the actual resort) Smile was pretty good! :)

The bungalows are nice and they offer you a very good variety of different types to pick from- A/C, fan, two people, large group. Definitely eat at the restaurant! Blown away, actually, by the food! Sandwiches are to die for! Even our two dudes loved the tofu burger! And they don&'t usually &"do&" tofu. The beach here was totally beautiful!

The property was situated near to haad salad beach on the &"quieter&" portion of the island and has quaint little bungalows that are only what is needed, they were priced reasonably and the staff were helpful and even found my phone which I didn&'t know I&'d lost

Amazing price for a fantastic room only a minute from a stunning beach. And it was nonetheless a exceptional place for the full moon party. It took 40 mins in a taxi cab but that was really fun as everyone was drinking and chatting on the way.

Amazing cost for a great room only a minute from a gorgeous beach. And it was nonetheless a very good place for the full moon party. It took 40 mins in a taxi but that was really fun as everyone was drinking and chatting on the way.

Haad Salad itself is nice and the beach is the best we've been to in Thailand. Restaurant serves nice food.
