The White Village Ranong Resort (SHA Extra Plus)

From the street, the grounds look unassuming. The place is tucked off a main road, and you only see its true character once you pass the gate. It also serves as a wellness centre, and you can feel that almost right away. The garden is cared for and beautiful, and the space feels calming. The service is incredibly kind. The rooms are immaculate, clean, comfortable, and well organized for all kinds of travellers. Absolutely lovely and sweet, highly recommend.

The place is incredibly tidy, with great attention to detail, and the design is exceptional, almost like it was inspired by Italy. The owner spoke English and was very friendly, and the resort has a family feel. Breakfast was really nice, better than some four-star hotels, I'd say. It's pretty close to the hot springs, which is a big plus. Sitting outside, you can hear cars because it's near the road. The rooms are pretty quiet, though, with a comfy veranda in front of each one.

The owners and their family made us feel very welcome, and the breakfast was so generous we couldn’t finish it. The place is spotless, well equipped, and full of cute decorations. We’d read other guests’ reviews before booking and were glad we chose it. It’s family friendly, too, with a sweet, friendly cat and a shy little dog. We’d happily return and recommend it.

We found this lovely B&B by chance while driving toward Phuket. The balcony had a peaceful mountain view, the room was comfortable, and breakfast was delicious, far more than I expected. The owner was wonderfully kind. My boy Yoda enjoyed the stay too.
