Explora Perfect Experience
We stayed at The Explora as a couple for 10 nights and we both agree, The Explora is perfect in every way. We stayed on the fourth floor in Deluxe Seaview Suite - room 541. It had the perfect view, spacious, with a very comfortable king bed. Everything worked well - air cond, shower, TV (Netflix), microwave, lots of complimentary bottled water etc.. Breakfast was next level. For those who like Thai flavours, you will not be disappointed. Every morning there was a choice of different curries (Panag, Green, Massaman, Red) with rice, noodles, sauteed greens and vegetables, fresh fruits, various ways to cook your eggs, bacon, salads, 3 or 4 different bread options, pastries, fresh juices, iced coffees, hot coffees, and if you must, there are cereal options. To top it off, you can have some Bubbly Brut!!! All the staff were always happy to assist. We were advised the resort was booked at 95% capacity. We thought it would have been extremely busy with too many people but in actual fact, it did not feel crowded at all. We had no issues finding 2 x pool sun beds or day bed on most days we wanted to laze around the pool. The pool was a perfect way to cool down floating on the pool cushions. Happy hour was 3pm - 5.00pm daily which was a hit sitting at the pool bar with lots of options. It was a bonus not having small children running and jumping in the pool. We ate at the restaurant a few times and the food was so tasty. The head chef came around to each table one evening to introduced himself, have a chat and to wish us a good evening. On other nights, we ate at a couple of restaurants approximately 10mins walk along the beach either side of the resort. We did the pizza cooking class and the Thai Green Curry cooking class which were fun with amazing taste - thank you to both chefs. There is a buggy service which was handy on the hot days and will take you to the main road which has a laundromat for us to do some washing. For the return, I wats app the resort and within minutes, we were picked up for the return trip. We have stayed at many hotels before and we would place our stay at the Explora number 1. Thank you to all the staff in the restaurant, reception, cleaning, pool bar. Special mention to Andy (he's good at recommending the perfect cocktail), Fip (always so happy and positive even if he has traffic delays getting to work!!) You were all friendly, welcoming and happy to help always with a smile. Thank you Explora, we had a fantastic holiday and we would 100% stay at The Explora again and recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday.

An excellent hotel and amazing staff makes your holiday special
Had a fabulous stay at this hotel. Staff are amazing….their big smiles , service and wanting to ensure you have the very best stay was excellent. Food and drinks very good with a varied menu and great tasty dishes. Breakfast very good as was the coffee. The rooms are spotless. Week one, I stayed in a beach villa which is the best room with its own small pool and fantastic position looking onto the beach. The second week, when a group of friends arrived I stayed in the ocean view room which was spacious and nice view. Small issue is the wooden plinth around the bed sticks out and I cut my leg when I kept bumping into it which was annoying. Loved the free classes and the various cocktail hours were great. I really enjoyed the Spa and excellent masssge and facials. The location is quiet which I liked and there is a shuttle to nearby fishermans village for more options to shop and eat. Overall I thoroughly recommend this great place and a big thank you to their very special team!

Just one tiny beef......
Absolutely outstanding in absolutely every respect except one. And it seems almost too trivial to mention .... but...I'm going to.
Don't bother to order the steak off the menu. It's just not good at all. We tried it twice. Avoid. Gristly, chewy, and cut thin rather like sliced ham. I can do ANY steak far better at home on the BBQ. Must be a Thai beef thing?
Otherwise, this is a magnificently restful destination. Super staff, exceptional amenities, brilliant food, divine pool .... blah blah blah. What everybody else has said. Would return in a heartbeat. Book - you will not regret it.
