Cookies Salad Resort is such a cute little place tucked away on a very steep hill, which makes it feel private and special. The bungalows are cozy, each with large balconies that are just perfect for relaxing. Both the rooms and balconies are thoughtfully designed with lots of sweet little details and a very authentic Thai touch.||The restaurant is a highlight – the food is delicious, and the view of the beach is absolutely stunning. You can easily spend hours here just enjoying cocktails, watching the ocean, and spotting birds. They also host live music and BBQ evenings, which make the atmosphere even more fun. Every afternoon there’s also a cocktail happy hour, which is a great bonus.||Inside the rooms, they even provide Netflix and other streaming apps, which is a nice touch for winding down. That said, there are a few areas where the resort could improve. The mattresses were a downside – the first room’s bed was so hard it felt like sleeping on concrete, and while the second room had a softer mattress, it still wasn’t very comfortable. The showers were also disappointing: very low water pressure, sometimes no hot water at all, and shower heads that seemed never to have been cleaned from limescale. Another issue was cleanliness – in our first room the sheets smelled wonderfully fresh, but in the new room the linens felt less clean, almost as if they hadn’t been washed.||Even with these small downsides, our overall experience was still really lovely. The atmosphere, the food, the views, and especially the people make it worth staying. The staff are absolutely amazing – so sweet, helpful, and genuinely caring.||I would absolutely recommend Cookies Salad Resort if you’re looking for a charming, authentic, and memorable stay on the island.
