It was perfect for me, as a solo traveler and I can't find anything negative to say!

I went during the low-season, so I had the resort all to myself, which was fantastic to be able to relax an unwind. If you want a quiet vacation on an island, with everything still open and accessible, then I 100% recommend coming during the low season! As far as the weather; it would rain overnight and sometimes in the evenings and I just had one day with a big rain. Otherwise, the weather was great and the rains don't last long when they do come! I recommend to just go for a massage on a day that it is raining. - My room had the most impeccable view of the water, right from the bed. Same with the restaurant and bar which have unobstructed views of the water. - The area was also completely safe, tranquil, and I felt like I was in a luxury jungle. - The staff is so friendly, accommodating, and attentive; giving recommendations on how to get around, places to see, and advice for my first time in Thailand. The restaurant is fantastic and I ate most of my dinners and breakfasts at the resort. - I am not comfortable with scooters, but if you are comfortable then it would be nice to have one to visit the other towns up and down the island. More experienced scooter riders could go to Lonely Beach and Bang Bao Beach, but the hills are quite steep getting to those areas, so I would recommend it only if you are comfortable. Otherwise, the towns around Saffron on the Sea are easy to access with the scooter or by flagging down a taxi for just 50/100 Baht depending on where you want to go. - The supermarket is just a few minutes walk up the street which was convenient. There are some other restaurants and street-side food stalls in the vicinity of the resort; otherwise you can just catch a quick 5-10 minute taxi to the next town for more options. - Everyone on this island is super friendly, humble, and eager to give you the best experience. In 4 days / 5 nights, I only had positive experiences with everyone that I interacted with!

A smart tv would have been lovely for the rainy days.

Early check in, English speaking friendly host and the room a few metres from the sea. The food at the restaurant was delicious and the view with evening cocktails amazing.

Cute hotel with a beautiful view, right on the water. There’s no beach for swimming, the coast here is very rocky but it’s stunning. Room was comfortable and clean. Only complaint is that the restaurant doesn’t open until 10:30 am which is really late and the coffee I had there was not great. If you’re an early riser, you might want to stay somewhere else.

Personally, I didn’t mind—but it’s worth noting that the beach right in front of the hotel is rocky and not ideal for swimming. That said, if you rent a scooter, you can reach sandy, lively beaches in just a few minutes.

Wonderful boutique hotel in a quiet beachfront location—perfect for relaxing and disconnecting. Just a short scooter ride from the other beaches, restaurants, and a supermarket. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the hotel’s restaurant was excellent. Truly a great find!

Great location, in the middle of the island. The stuff is very warm, helpful and welcoming. They would try to do everything that we asked with a huge smile always.

None.

Only a few nice little houses with veranda or balcony. Direkt by the sea with a beautiful view. No beach, but we could use steps down to the water. Very friendly staff, especially the Manager. She speaks brilliant English and helped us a lot. We forgot something and after contacting her via booking com, she answered very quickly. So thanks a lot.

Beautiful location, overlooking the water, Peaceful swimming was lovely but be aware no sand, only rocks, so entry can be tricky but worth it. Staff were excellent, as was the owner, were always available to assist. If you are in this vicinity do visit Everflow cafe - wonderful food and juices

If you are looking for a place away from the bustling beaches, this is the perfect getaway. Super friendly staff. They easily organise you a motorbike to get around hassle-free

For us Saffron was a perfect place to relax and unwind so in honesty I cannot think of a negative to say. There's no sandy beach if that's what you're looking for. We were absolutely fine with it and loved swimming in the clear waters regardless.

Saffron on the Sea is a hidden gem! So peaceful and such a beautiful location with well-maintained tropical gardens and next to the ocean. Our room was lovely, nicely designed and comfortable bed with a nice sea view and deck chair outside to relax. The restaurant/bar was excellent too, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner here and cannot fault the food! Highly recommend the banana leaf salad and spicy basil with beef. The cocktails at sunset were the highlight for us! The sunset was spectacular with perfect views from the deck. The staff here were all so friendly and helpful, we can't thank them enough for making our stay so lovely.

We smelled a moldy smell as soon as we walked into the room. We asked for another room but it was not available. a full refund was offered immediately. we could not find anything similar so decided to stay. The room and shower room looks nice, the bed was good. Outside looked as if it needed a bit of renovation.

The location was super. Great vibe, beautiful sunset. The restaurant food was good, staff was friendly.
