The best thing about Khao Sok Palmview Resort is its operators. Absolutely nothing was a problem, with the famous Thai smile they will arrange trips and transport to your next destination at very fair prices, literally even at the last minute. Thank you!The location next to the palm plantation is also great, through which you can reach both the town and the entrance to the national park in a few minutes' walk. Don't expect any great luxury but simple honest accommodation on the edge of the jungle with all that goes with it and very good value for money.We probably would have slept better with air conditioning, but for the money we paid, I certainly don't expect that.We chose the accommodation because of the authentic experience with the sounds of the jungle, which we also got our fill of and it beautifully underlined the atmosphere of the rainforest. But if you are a light sleeper, it might bother you that there are a considerable number of roosters living around the accommodation, who have a crowing competition every morning, and the one under our cabin definitely won. But that is simply part of staying in the countryside. :)

An unforgettable oasis in the middle of nature – Palmview Resort in Khao Sok, Thailand.We had the pleasure of spending three nights at Palmview Resort and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. This small, family-run resort impresses not only with its unique location in the middle of the jungle, but above all with the warm hospitality of the operating family. From the first moment you feel welcome and are greeted with a smile.The staff is extremely courteous and helpful. No matter what concerns you have - be it booking excursions, organizing transfers or small everyday problems - the team is always there to help and advise you. Every wish is truly fulfilled.The rooms themselves are simple but very cozy and offer an authentic experience in the middle of nature. You feel like you're part of the surrounding jungle - that's really unique! The short walk to the nearby markets and pharmacies (only 10 minutes away) is also very convenient.A highlight of our stay was definitely the extensive range of activities: from bamboo rafting to visits to the majestic elephants to exciting safari tours - every nature lover will get their money's worth here. Particularly noteworthy is the excellent service: you will be picked up directly from your accommodation and brought back again after the tours. This makes the process much easier and makes the experience even more relaxing.We were also impressed by the culinary offerings at the Palmview Resort. The food was always fresh, tasty and offered an impressive variety. In particular, the loving manner of service, often by the owners' daughters, who work with so much dedication and warmth, made every meal a special experience.The only small point of criticism is the bathroom, which is a little old. The fittings and shower head could do with an update, and unfortunately there was no hairdryer and only one roll of toilet paper. However, you shouldn't forget that you are in the jungle, and for us this was just a small blemish in an otherwise perfect stay.All in all, we can highly recommend Palmview Resort. The mix of excellent service, warm hospitality and unique natural experiences makes this place a real insider tip. We will definitely come back! Many thanks to the whole family for this wonderful time! 🌴❤️

Khun Kong and Khun Jiab and other staff are friendly and kind. Many cute animals around the resort. It is quiet at night because it’s far from the main road.

I think it is important to share my non-experience at this facility. Due to force majeure I was unable to stay there. I tried in every way (via email, booking, chat or telephone) to get in touch with them without being able to speak to a single person in English. I also asked a kind Thai woman to act as my interpreter but not only did they not consider my reasons but they didn't even come to meet me and I was charged for all the nights of my stay.The place may be wonderful but when the service doesn't guarantee even the slightest consideration towards a customer in difficulty I think it's worth looking elsewhere. My advice is DO NOT BOOK if you are not 100% sure about going because THEY DO NOT REFUND ANYTHING!

This resort is very good, there are many nice rooms some with air conditioning some without (mine was 4 stars without that, but it was still warm..) very quiet location.. the food is very good and the people are very friendly There are various programs where you can do such as hiking, boating or viewing elephants and you can also do laundry at the resort. Overall a very good resort and definitely recommended. 5 min walk to the city + to the national park

Kong and his family are incredible hosts. They made us feel like we were part of their family. They helped coordinate our activities in the national park. Beautiful scenery, and food from their restaurant was superb. A shortcut through the property surrounded by palms leads you to town and the park entrance. Just be aware of the amenities they provide in their descriptions, it is more of a rustic experience at the border of the National Park (we saw a monkey from the hotel). No AC but with the windows open and fan running our bungalow stayed cool at night.

It is a nice stay when you’re looking for a kind of a hostel. We booked accidentally rooms without airco. We found that pretty hard for sleeping. The people are friendly and the location is good. Only two relaxing beds in the restaurant. Would be nice when there are more places to sit/relax.
