Koh Ta Kiev Island 3 Stars Hotels

"Sol Beach Resort was a dream vacation. My bungalow was facing the ocean and I could even look at the ocean through the sliding glass doors right from my bed. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. There were enough outlets, a bathtub and a safe. My favorite part was the patio. I had a comfy chair and a couch to lounge on, or I could just walk down the steps and relax in a hammock or a beach chair. This place is quiet and relaxing and is set off from the rowdier restaurants, bars and resorts. The food was amazing. I tried a few other restaurants on the island but the food at Sol Beach was superior to all the other places. The staff was friendly and helpful. I had an expert massage and body scrub at the spa and felt so good afterwards. I loved this place. If you want to relax in a quiet and natural setting, then this is the place for you. I will definitely be back here again!!!!"

"Getting to the island involved catching the dedicated boat anchored offshore. Prepare to get wet! The journey was over an hour but with great views of Koh Ta Kiev island and others. We were welcomed by volunteers and Giovanni gave us a brief on arrival. We were shown to our accommodation which was just off the beach. The hut was on stilts and featured fairly comfortable beds with much needed mosquito nets, a balcony facing the sea, and complementary water. The activities on offer were varied and interesting, but some were not available when we were there. Loved the yoga rooms, art room and the library. The beach is long and deserted, and if you litter-pick your way along it entitles you to a free drink! There is only one boat a day to and from Kactus so it's remote but has intermittent wi-fi. The bathroom/toilet was shared but could have done with a better lock on the door! No hot showers but not much of a problem. It's a rustic experience so don't expect luxury. Fabulous sunsets in store, but also possible food poisoning if you're unlucky. No medical facilities so bring supplies. Be prepared to make friends or enjoy the solitude - whatever floats your boat!"
