The Ekman Garden Resort is a family driven small hotel, where the guest will find calm, beauty and a friendly atmosphere.
The garden is one of the most beautiful ones in the whole region, with lovely flowers, ponds, fish, butterflies and birds, and a softly shaped 15 m pool in front of the restaurant part. There is a little river and a manmade lake within the garden where the guest can catch a nice fish for dinner. The guest can choose to eat either European or Thai style, or both.
Our 4 different room types vary in size but all are equipped with the necessary facilities.

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.
About the reservation service:
All reservations, payments etc. are quickly and good organized. There was just one little mistake in one of 4 reservations. Sawadee took action by itself to solve the little problem without questions or interference from our side. Reliable quick operating organisation.

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!
About the reservation service:
I used this service all through my travels in thailand and it was always perfect.

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.

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

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.

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!
