Other comments about the hotel: A lovely little resort with a lovely garden and very good food. Anna and Staffan was very nice and took good care of oss. The only disadvantage of Ekman was that the resort was not located so near the beach. It was the ca 1-2 km away and the last distance down to the beach, you had to walk on bamboo poles in a mangrove area.We were very pleased with our stay there.

Other comments about the hotel: Dessa mÀnniskor var helt underbara. De tog emot oss med kÀrlek i en helt underbar miljö. Anna och Staffan som Àger detta underbara stÀlle tog med oss ut varje dag, visade oss tempel, varuhus, strÀnder, marknader, batiktillverkning, matstÀlle som thailÀndarna sjÀlv gÄr till.Anna lagade den mest smakrika maten med fin upplÀggning. Jag rekommenderar alla att besöka denna underbara resort. Jag har bott pÄ mÄnga 4 stjÀrniga hotell, detta har fem för hÀr finns miljön och den atmosfÀr man letar efter. Tack alla ni som tog hand om oss som om vi var en i familjen. [ThailandHotels-24.com integr.ERR:escaping]

How was the booking process handled?: All reservations, payments etc. are quickly and good organized. There was just one little mistake in one of 4 reservations. ThailandHotels-24.com took action by itself to solve the little problem without questions or interference from our side. Reliable quick operating organisation.
Other comments about the hotel: Ekman Resort is a little resort, laying in a very small village. So very good for people who want to avoid a flow of activities or a crowdy envirement.In the opposite it is even very quiet. So it is not interesting for people who just want to party and/or want have activities planned for children. The resort is not directly situated at the seashore, but a walk to- and enjoying the beach is very well possible. Service in Ekman garden is very good. All people working in or for the resort are very helpfull and friendly. We had a wonderfull time in Ekman resort. [ThailandHotels-24.com integr.ERR:escaping]

How was the booking process handled?: I used this service all through my travels in thailand and it was always perfect.
Other comments about the hotel: This place is wonderful. Anna treated us as though she was our pee sow (older sister) and always made sure we were enjoying our stay, and that we were ok.. The food is wonderful, I will miss the yellow curry with bananas apples and chicken so much! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and it was one of my favorite places in Thailand. The rooms were great and the gardens beautiful. This place is off the tourist track and the people in the small town are just so friendly. Even though they speak little to no english, EVERYONE makes a point of waving and saying hello as you drive around the village. I can t wait to visit again. I will miss you Anna!

Other comments about the hotel: We got what we where loooking for = small familyrun resort with a lovely garden and wonderful careing staff. It felt like visiting some really good friends. Food and service was great, just like the room (we were upgraded with no extra charge). We will probably return in the future. Nice being off the tourist track for a couple of days.

How was the booking process handled?: Very good - no problems. We were also upgraded to a better room on arrival.
Other comments about the hotel: Highly recommended!We stayed one week from 21/12/2009 to 28/12/2009. We booked simple room with balcony but were upgraded at no charge on arrival. Were made very welcome by Anna and Staffan (Thai and Swedish owners on arrival). Many guests were Swedish and other Europeans.Anna is an excellent cook and the quality of meals was generally very high. Anna uses many ingredients from her own garden. Ekman Garden is a very social environment (with both owners and fellow guests). You will have the opportunity to ask Anna (who speaks very good English) your questions about Thailand and the Thai peopleOur upgraded room was excellent with plenty of space, fridge, safe and large bathroom.Excellent, modern, quiet air conditioning system in room.Free wireless in reception area.Good pool.Beautiful garden with tropical plants and fish ponds.Enjoyed walk to beach over bamboo bridge that owners have createdRecommend a car or motorbike if possible as all places to visit are too far to walk and no public transport options here.Resort will take you to nearby attractions for a chargeNot many foreigners in this area eg. Some Thai children followed us around at the supermarket as they were interested to see some farang Many days we did not see any non Thai people when we were out all day.Recommend visit to Krung Ching waterfall but it s a tough hike and there are leeches.Visit market in nearby Sichon on Fridays morning for an authentic Thai experience.Highly recommend stay at Ekman Garden Resort, but best to have own transport if staying more than 2-3 days.

Other comments about the hotel: Being the third time at Ekman Garden Resort, it was a pleasure to see that most things was as before. It was the same beach with a Crusoe feeling of being alone at this loooong beach. It was so nice to lie under the sunroof and listen to the sea without being disturbed by anyone.And the visit to the Wat and the meeting with the monk Tangit was also so smooth and relaxing.Although there was some rain because of the rain season, I found it so nice so I decided to stay a week more than planned. Annas cooking is always so gratifying so it is hard not to stay more than planned. Especially when the weather is the same everywhere else. Although it seems unnecessary to visit a place that has more water a visit to one of the beautiful waterfalls in the neighborhood is always a good idea and especially when there is rain as it becomes more wild than usual. Finally I must say that it is absolutely not the last visit to this part of the country and certainly not to Ekman Garden Resort.Hans Morling Stockholm [ThailandHotels-24.com integr.ERR:escaping]

Other comments about the hotel: This time returning after one year to Ekman Garden Resort, it was a pleasure to be greeted as an old friend by the hosts Anna and Staffan. As I had had a very hectic time at home, I really appreciated the peace and quite that they offer.The garden is exceptional and beautiful and Anna really work hard to make it a Garden Resort.It is not a place to expect a lively nightlife or a entertainment bar but going to bed early with a good book is a privilege.The staff is very friendly and becoming and the rooms are very clean and well looked after.The food is very, very good but the breakfast that is included in the price is not meant for grown up person. Not even for me who is small.But this will not stop me from coming back in the future.Inger Walander Lidingö [ThailandHotels-24.com integr.ERR:escaping]

Other comments about the hotel: Words can not describe what a wonderful place Ekman Garden is. We were made to feel like family from the first moment we got there. Anna & Staffan are warm and kind people who make your stay there quite memorable. The rooms are spacious and beautiful. Every day we came back to our room and there were fresh tropical flowers arranged on the bed in an arful display. The food was outstanding and Anna makes it herself! The staff there are all incredible and attend to every detail. Most of all, it was the BEST environment for us to be in with our new little girl. We adopted from Nakhon Si Thammarat and Anna was a HUGE help to us! She knows the staff and where the orphanage was and what to do and to bring. She was able to take us to the Tesco where we could buy the supplies the orphanage needed, and she translated for us so I could get my every question answered. We are immeasurably grateful we met Anna and her wonderful family! Their charming and beautifully done hotel and gardens were such a perfect setting, too! I can not say enough about the serene gardens and hospitality of the place. A must-stay for us on every future trip to Thailand!

Other comments about the hotel: I come to this Hotel for the second time already this year. It is such a wonderful place, if you look for peace and relaxing and great food. The garden is one of the most beautiful I ve ever seen. Rooms are very clean and lovely decorated. After one day I felt like being a part of the family. What more can I say... being here is just a little bit like heaven on earth . [ThailandHotels-24.com integr.ERR:escaping]
