Awesome place - Way more than what we expected

We happened upon Kings Garden Resort last year when we were looking for another place to stay further up the beach but somewhere where it is still low key and quiet. We looked around Kings Garden Resort last year and loved it straight away. Its lush gardens and quiet setting was perfect so we booked straight away for this year. There was some upgrading going on with some of the deluxe units last year and we saw a finished one and it was spotless, light and modern and tastefully decorated. When we arrived this year we were a bit frazzled having been delayed by a day but within no time at all our worries faded away and we soon took on the slow gentle pace of Kings Garden. This is not a place for party goers, big groups or even big families. Its perfect for couples who want to get away, rest and have some peace and quiet and unwind from their busy work schedules. There is no swimming pool - Great! - that means no screaming kids and why would you want a pool with the ocean only a few steps away down the pristine sand. From the word "go" we knew we had struck gold here, the staff are simply lovely and if you take the time to engage with them they respond willingly and love to learn their English just as we love to learn basic Thai. Sometimes things get "lost in translation" but hey that's the fun of it. Our unit was simply beautiful, we had a deluxe and it was luxury compared to where we had stayed previously further down the beach at Sans Souci....... Kings Garden have put in a lot of thought as to what is needed in the accommodation, down to the super comfy bed, feather and down pillows, the lovely mozzie netting around the bed (which wasn't needed but it showed off the bed beautifully), the extra fans (toilet and living area) plus the air con unit and mozzie screens on the windows if you wanted to have the windows open at night. The built in sofa was excellent in the living area with tasteful lamps either side. Everything was spotless and remained so w
