My experience at The Island Escape by Burasari was absolutely delightful. From the punctual speedboat pickup to the extremely friendly and helpful hotel staff, every aspect of the stay was remarkable. The island’s stunning beauty complements the hotel’s brilliant design, particularly the main pool that overlooks the sea and features a swim-up bar reminiscent of movie scenes. The view from the pool of other tropical islands adds to the allure, creating a private paradise that is both tranquil and beautiful.
The beach offers a serene escape, further enhancing the feeling of being in a personal paradise. Another highlight is the Splash zone pool, offering tranquility and direct access for those staying in pool swim-up rooms. My garden room, located a mere minute’s walk from the splash pool, provided convenience and comfort, nestled close to the well-maintained, jungle-like gardens of the resort. For mobility around the resort, requesting a buggy from the reception proved easy and efficient, with a short wait time for those patient enough.
Walking around the resort is a pleasure in itself, thanks to the pristine gardens that evoke a sense of being in a tropical, well-maintained jungle.
Important Considerations:
Booking this resort requires the right mindset. It’s a haven for relaxation rather than exploration or experiencing local culture, such as markets and temples. Expectations for food and drink prices should be adjusted as they are closer to Western standards, albeit still affordable. Those looking to explore will find limited activities outside the resort, except for a few restaurants located 5 to 15 minutes away. However, venturing out allows for enjoying local Thai food at more traditional prices, around 120 baht, providing a taste of local culture within reach.
