| Takolaburi Resort, Khao Lak  Independant Review
                        
                          |  | The communal areas of this tastefully designed and  expensively crafted resort are formed of traditionally-roofed pavilions. They  appear to float in a large pond, out of which palms soar and antique-looking  pots contribute colourful floral displays.  |  
                          |   The spaciousness of the shared areas of the resort contrasts  with the claustrophobia of the accommodation units, which have been crammed in  so densely that none receive enough light. This lack of space, combined with  the high prices charged, make this a resort to avoid.   |  |  
                          |  |   Family PavilionThese units consist of a two-story building which contains a  children’s bedroom above the master bedroom. There is no door between the two,  so parents can not be guaranteed any private moments. Small children will not  be able to manage the spiral staircase up to the dark and gloomy upstairs  bedroom. There is a further single-story building, which houses a living room  and a large TV and DVD.

                          | Honeymoon PavilionThese villas are expensively furnished and decorated, but  little light penetrates through the too small bedroom windows, making them dark and  gloomy. The separate living pavilion is somewhat starkly decorated and the  private plunge pool area is rather grotty, even though the resort is only a  few years old.
