Clean rooms, good air conditioning, absolutely amazing location for nature. BUT almost zero amenities to access. You must take a boat to go anywhere and get anything. Which during certain tides can be a challenge.

Things to watch for. Upon check in there’s a 5% charge on the bill for using a credit card. Unless you are a series rock climber there’s nothing much to do. The longboats try and rip you off. Take cash as I didn’t see any ATMS and a couple of times paying for food/dinner cash only. That said rooms were very clean staff lovely. Would I go back… No

We loved the location. Very secluded from the neighboring Raily and Ao Nang beaches. The room was very comfortable and AC worked great. They also had a decent breakfast buffet and restaurants. The front staff was nice, but the restaurant attendants could be more attentive to customers. Transportation from the resort was also not easy to get. Although they had a dedicated long boat, we rarely saw it near the resort and you had to pay extra if you did not have at least 6 passengers. I feel this should be included with the stay.

Clean and well equipped room. Very friendly staff. Amazing location with fabulous views and atmosphere. However, we didn’t go to breakfast at the resort restaurant after being scared off by the food poisoning reviews (lots of them) on google but no issue ourselves. We went to the Monkey Bar instead, which is next door which was excellent. The illnesses could however be linked to people going in the sea as the monkey bar had no such reviews and is linked to a hotel with a pool so perhaps less people going in the sea! The area needs a sewage system and after heavy rain there was obvious signs that sewage was discharging near the pick up and drop off boats which you have to wade to!!! Yes this can occur in any country but there were several signs of sewage directly entering the beach even before the storms. I do recommend this place as overall its more quiet that Railay but you need to manage the situation to stay well. If you need western standards then visit this place as a day trip as it is a fabulous environment overall and a cool hangout for climbers. You can also avoid the boat sewage by walking the easy short scramble from Railay West but this can be subject to tide unless you’re happy to get a bit wet. Overall a fabulous place!

This was a really nice hotel, super close to the beach and climbing area. The AC worked great and room was very clean. The staff were very nice and were able to accommodate cleaning our room at a specific time since I was sick for 2 days in the room. Breakfast was provided and had lots of great options with an amazing view.

Beautiful but must take long boat to get there!

Very modern and lovely rooms/cottages. Staff very nice. Close to climbing and fun beach bar and kayaking. It's a little tricky to get here. You have to take a long boat from the Ao Nang area to Railay beach and then go to Tonsai Bay from there.

A fabulous stay.... Waking up on a bay, jungle-like environment in a peaceful and quiet place was the best experience. While walking through the resort and the bay you'll see the cheeky monkeys playing around the roofs and trees. The staff was extremely helpful and kind, we thought it won't be easy to get to the resort by boat but the staff planned our airport pick-up and boat and everything went smoothly -even at night time! If you don't want to leave the Bay to get to AO Nang beach for the evening, don't worry you get beach bar and other places to get drinks and food until 11pm. We truly enjoyed the time in Tonsai Bay and we highly recommend this property.

Better go somewhere else

Bungalow was oké, regarding the price. The nature is stunning. If they clean the the garden, they just dump the plastic trash on the the ditches. We all got food poisoning from the restaurant. Check the restaurant reviews on Google, 17 food poisoning cases the last 3 months. I wish we have red that before. We went for breakfast and dinner next door.

5 nights at Tonsai and I would definitely go back. Room was quiet, clean and comfortable. Restaurant was good. Ocean front breakfast was so peaceful. Off season so only handful of people around. Climbing access on the beach cant be beat. Definately checkout old Basecamp and local food options in jungle above resorts.

I did not like that the 5% surcharge for using credit card for hotel room fees wqs not disclosed up front when booking via expedia. 5% is alot to charge on room fee espcially when it is not disclosed in advance. Unacceptable and dishonest by hotel and expedia not to make this clear when booking the rooms.
