Great little resort on the water
Had a great weekend staying at Saffron. It's about a quarter mile off the main road, so it's nice and secluded. The restaurant porch is just two meters from the beach. There is no sand, just large stones/pebbles. The staff are quite friendly, and they recommended a great seafood restaurant and arranged for a taxi for us as well. If you want the best experience, stay in room B1, which is the one in the very front by the sea and has a great sea view. It's not the most luxurious resort, so be prepared for a gecko or two in your room and to sleep under a mosquito net (though I personally didn't find it necessary.) The A/C works well, but the hot water in the shower only gets mildly tepid at best. If you absolutely MUST have a hot shower, look elsewhere. The food is great, the portions are large, and the service is fantastic. The som tam (papaya salad) was the best I've had in Thailand. Rates are very reasonable for food and lodging. There's a Tesco supermarket within walking distance, though not much else. You'll need wheels, a taxi, or rent a scooter from the hotel to get around best. They have two kayaks available free of charge to use in the bay. The wifi is sufficient and reaches most rooms, though it's a bit spotty at times. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this place!
