Loved by Pimalai Resort & Spa guests
"We were spoilt with a pool villa overlooking the jungle below leading to the beach front."
"The free transfer from the airport is much nicer than advertised - we had a private car with AC, free water, and their own private speedboat to the island."
"The hotel is on a beautiful stretch of beach and the resort is barely noticeable spread up the hill behind it."
