Everest Resort

SO UNIQUE!! What a delightful surprise to discover after check-in, that Everest is actually a serious organic vegetable farm. And, as a guest you're gifted access to every kind of lettuce, celery, rocket/arugula, and more. The love and care the proprietors put into the cultivation, is so special. Everest is also a short walk to a quiet but very long beach, and there are a couple of restaurants, chill bars, and grcoeries all in walking distance. The rooms are not immaculate, but the other elements make up for it.

The staff were incredibly polite, the room was clean and beds were comfortable. Great for a short stay and only a 10 minute drive/ride to Fisherman’s village and 15 minutes from Chaweng. Also very close to the beach. 3.5 stars

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay here. The little cottage I had was very nice and comfortable. The bathroom was great. There were 6 windows, and it was nice to open for some of the cooler breezy mornings. The ac worked great. The bed was comfortable and I enjoyed my table and chairs on the porch for working at sometimes. Having a tea kettle is always a plus. The majority of the other guests were from Russia, and I made a couple of friends, while learning my first few Russian words. It was always quiet, with the exception of the occasional child's cry or laughter. In the mornings & evenings, as I laid in bed, I could hear the crashing of the waves, along with insects, birds and monkeys (?) It was a short walk to the beach, and China town. You could find foods from EVERYWHERE! I ate at a French bakery a few blocks away, and a fantastic Indian restaurant, just a couple of doors down. I try to eat mostly local foods, and there were plenty of those too. The island wasn't as expensive as I'd expected, and I enjoyed it a lot. I've spent nearly 3 months in Thailand in just over a year, and I would definitely return here!!

The host was kind and helpful. The room, while enormous, was shabby and musty. The clth covered furniture was badly stained, the bedding had torn sheets and pillowcases, the cloth covering the refrigerator had something on it and was in need of washing, the bathroom was really in need of s thorough scrub. No complementary water or coffee, but it along with other junk foods are present in the room for purchase. The hotel is surrounded be excellent restaurants and is just a short walk to the beach, and the Maenam morning or afternoon markets. I liked the area enough I moved to another hotel and extended my stay in the area.
