Each meal at the on-site restaurants was a delight. We particularly enjoyed the vibrant flavors at Spice & Rice, along with the beautiful ambiance. The beach bar's sunset Happy Hour with Thai tapas was an lovely experience that made our evenings special.

8.8/10

The Pimalai resort truly lives up to its reputation with luxurious accommodations and stunning views that make you feel like you've found a piece of paradise. The rooms are exceptional, spacious, and provide incredible privacy, especially the villas with private pools. While the service is excellent overall, attention to certain details could be improved, particularly in the breakfast arrangements for non-villa guests. The location is a bit secluded, but that added to the serene experience. Dining options were fantastic, showcasing delicious local cuisine, though I would have liked wider breakfast choices. Overall, it was an unforgettable stay.
