| Suwan Palm Resort, Khao Lak  Independant Review
                        
                          |  | The entrance to this hotel feels almost like a tunnel  through the jungle, so overgrown is it with tropical foliage. The jungle theme  continues throughout this resort, but in a less overwhelming and enveloping  fashion than in the lobby entrance. The pool is attractive and enhanced by the  mature tropical trees surrounding it, and the beach is only 100 metres away. |  
                          | Superior RoomThese large and immaculate rooms are very good value for  money. The soft tones and pastel shades won’t wow anybody, but they won’t cause  anyone offence either.
   |  |  
                          |  | Deluxe RoomThese rooms all have sea-view, but the rooms on the lower  floor have a view that is almost completely obscured by foliage, so are not  recommended. The top floor rooms, however, do have good views of the sea, so  are a good choice for those who are able and can be bothered to climb the  stairs.

                          |     Family RoomThese large rooms contain a 3-seater sofa, 2 armchairs, a  double bed and two singles, with an extra bed possible. They offer parents no  privacy. For groups of  travelers, the capability of these rooms to accommodate 4 or 5 people make them a  good choice.
