Flower Power Village

We rented the peace and love villa for the 2 of us. Absolute worth every baht. It has a big sleeping/sitting room, nicely decorated, a nice veranda to sit and look over the fields and see the hornbills flying over,while sipping a cold beer. The villa even has a kitchen/fridge and of course a private hot water bathroom. We used at night the fans with open windows, but aircon is available at extra charge. The owners (both Italian) and their 3 dogs try to do everything for you to make your stay wonderful. They have also cheaper/smaller accommodations available. Excellent Italian (only fresh!) food restaurant. Nice swimmingpool, Beach 100m away. Don’t come here to party, but only to relax and enjoy nature, Italian food and hospitality. Tip: book straight with them and save 10%.

This an excellent no frills, value for money resort. The rooms are basic but totally clean but equally important is the restaurant which serves some truly amazing food specialising in Italian dishes reflecting the nationality of the owners. There is also lots of non- Italian food on offer as well. Flower Power offers excellent value for money.

We’re just back from an 8 night stay at Flower Power. What an amazing time we had! Where to start? Simona and Marco welcomed us so warmly that it felt like home. The resort is set in the jungle and the utmost care has been put into ensuring total respect for the surrounding environment. For instance, our bungalow had a ventilation system that ensured the temperature inside was never higher than outside. There was a fan in the ceiling and we never had to use the air conditioning unit. The bungalow was clean and comfortable. Marco has also installed drinking water fountains so that guests can refill their water bottles, thus reducing the amount of plastic being thrown into the environment. The restaurant is just amazing. Not only is the setting open and airy, but the food! You get Italian, Thai and Burmese and all are absolutely delicious! The fresh pasta is made almost daily on site, as is the pizza dough. Now, I am Italian and I can honestly say that the pizza is amazing! You have to try the charcoal pizza base, so crunchy and easy to digest. There is a massage parlour on site and we had massages every day. The two ladies there are so competent that they managed to fix my husband’s sciatica pain and my lower back pain. All the staff at the village were absolutely lovely and were always ready to help. Simona and Marco could not have been more helpful, no request was too much and they happily arranged for our transfers to and from the island. I can honestly say that we arrived as guests and left as friends. We will definitely be back. Thank you everyone.

Flower Power is located at the underveloped end of the island and you live with many birds, butterflies, animals in a lush green location just 100 metres from the island's best beach. The rooms and bungalows are well built and surrounded by flowers and trees. The beds are comfortable. Hot showers. With private verandahs. The restaurant serves excellent home style Italian food along with Thai and Burmese food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.. Not surprisingly the Flower Power coffee is top shelf and they have a range of wine and beer. Simona and Marco are great hosts who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. They are excellent problem solvers and genuine, kind people. Last but not least, Flower Power runs on solar electricity :) I can highly recommend Flower Power to thoughtful travellers.
