My husband and I had the most relaxing stay at Tepanee Beach Resort. The staff were exceptional, the room and view - absolutely spectacular. Our room came with its own cat, total bliss for a mad cat lover. Our 2 weeks went by so slowly, most holidays seem to fly, right? The locals made our stay, definitely a third world way of living and not for the faint hearted traveler, but eye contact, a smile and a nod of recognition will bring such joy to a local and warm your heart, we never stopped smiling. An absolute joy, we'll be going back to Tepanee Beach Resort for sure - already planning our next trip. My only advice, check the weather, we were there in November - turns out it was the end of the wet season, very humid with the occasional shower, which for a drought sticken Australian, was bliss. We walked in the rain, which the locals found amusing, but understood when we explained how dry it is at home. My husband and I have decided it is the most relaxed, beautiful holiday we have ever had. We have travelled through Asia many times, so, this is a really big statement from us.
