Our whole experience from start to finish at High Life was incredible and far exceeded our expectations. Communication was fantastic (prior to stay and during)...super helpful organizing taxi pick up and ferry bookings. Atmosphere was top notch with incredible water views, infinity pool, easy access to gorgeous beach with restaurants, clean comfortable rooms and delicious food/drinks on site. The part that blew us away was the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Each and every staff member went above and beyond for absolutely everything and always had a smile on their face. We loved getting to know the staff during our 3 day stay and were sad to say goodbye to such a warm and inviting place. We are frequent travelers and I can honestly say our experience at High Life was one of our best overall stays.
Nothing! Absolutely perfect. Thank you!!!

Es ist einfach traumhaft! Wir kannten es durch Freunde!
Das Hotel liegt mit einen super Blick auf das Meer und die Bucht von Haad yao!
Die Zimmer (Standard Bungalow mit Meerblick, hatten wir ) sind schön! Aber alle Bungalows, ob Gartenblick oder die besserer Kategorie, sehen toll aus. Das Hotel Restaurant hat sehr gute Speisen und auch Preis-Leistung ist passend für die Lage und den Ausblick. (Hauptgerichte ab 3-4€)
Das Personal ist unfassbar freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Der Pool liegt grandios mit dem Ausblick auf die Bucht! Dieser ist zwar sehr in der Sonne, aber es lohnt sich.
Wir waren meist am Strand, schön ruhig, genug Bars und Restaurants.
Viele Treppen nach unten, aber alles machbar.
Wir werden es wieder buchen.

Die ganze Außenanlage war sehr schön gestaltet. Super aufmerksames Personal. Toller Pool. Lage atemberaubend schön. Essen absolut top
Die Bäder dürften mal renoviert werden. Leichter Schimmel in den Fugen. Gehwege zu den Bungalows teilweise schwer begehbar

Pretty much everything. Great place, nice staff, great views, close by to coffee shops and 15 min walk to 7/11.
Bar and food was a bit too expensive but that's the only thing I can think of.
7.0
The view and the porch made it all worth it. There were many birds and butterflies, lots of greenery, and a lovely hammock to enjoy it all from. The area was very quiet and felt close to nature. We've enjoyed our stay overall.
The room was very basic, but had all we needed. There were minor problems in the beginning (cold water in the shower not really working, missing power sockets) but all were promptly resolved once we let the manager know. The staff at the reception and the cleaning crew were all very nice and helpful.
The room wasn't cleaned unless we explicitly asked - that was a little awkward.
The bathroom was spartan and poorly designed, but it was clean and fulfilled its purpose.
8.0
The pool with the view is awesome, the staff is incredibly attentive and nice, restaurant and bar can be highly recommended. The rooms are nice, we slept in two different bungalows. Whatever we needed, we always got help from the reception very quickly.
You can also do laundry and rent a scooter at reception, very comfortable.
The resort itself is not suitable for people who have trouble wit walking stairs or steep hills. Aircon is a bit dated and shower pressure is quite low, but other than that we were happy. In one apartment the mattress was kinda broken.

Great location, beautiful outdoor area, restaurant and pool where you can watch the sunset.
The shower in the wooden bungalows, but you get over it.

Lovely staff, beautiful swimming pool, good food
I ordered a chicken sandwich which is for 150 bath and just requested them to put extra lettuce, for that they charge more 50 bath, that feel a little robbed and we booked jungle villa there is just on electric point inside the room for charging

Only the location and the view
The room we got was nothing like the photos. The photos are completely misleading because they only show the best bangalows that are in front of the pool. Almost felt like a scam. We received probably the worst room available. It was abandoned, dirty, and full of stains on the walls.
The bathroom was disgusting and had zero water pressure, so it was almost impossible to shower. The shower itself was full of mold and rust.
Dirty towels with red/yellowish stains on them.
The food was very bad. When the stuff asked us how it was, we politely said that it was "ok" but a little oily ( the truth was that it was horrible and covered in oil). The stuff not only fails to accept constructive criticism, but they appear angry at us for saying our opinion.
We paid around 15000 THB for 5 nights and even though we knew it was not refundable, we didn't hesitate to leave the next day and book a way better room at the same beach at 1/3 of the price!!

The sea view bungalow was amazing. very peaceful, comfortable bed, good facilities and great location on the beach. The receptionist staff Andy and Cherry were so friendly, helpful and flexible. They have really good knowledge of the island. The restaurant Thai food was also very good !
5.0
Restaurant good food & staff very friendly. The view from the room and restaurant was really nice.
As said in the advertisement the resort has quite some stairs to reach rooms. If I had known the distance between the room and the beach was this absurd I'd never made that booking. The people entering the pool area "from outside" where sometimes terrible. Hippies entering the area smoking cannabis all day and keeping the chairs occupied is a disgrace for your guests. THe only thing they order is a cheap bottle of water and bring their own other stuff. Staff notices but doesnt do anything about it whilst guests are in pool area inhaling that disgusting smell of joints. Even kids in the same area.

Beautiful! We were giddy when we saw the view from our Bungalow. It was absolutely gorgeous, very modern and quite romantic. We were sad we only booked one night, because the location was great, we loved the quick walk down to the beach, and had fun snorkeling in the area. Close to restaurants, including the one that belongs to the hotel, a nice pool, and a gorgeous view with a hammock to enjoy it from. It was one of our favorite stays in Thailand, and we wish we could have stayed longer.
Nothing really, it was a bit more expensive, but the area is very upscale, so it was appropriately priced for what you get

Perfect location with exceptional view. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant serve fantastic meals. There are steps straight from resort leading down to the beach (quiet beach with many good restaurants and places with massage)
Resort would do with some refreshing. You can tell it was built a good few years ago.

Loved everything about this place. Perched on the hill, rooms have amazing rooms with hammocks and views down to the beach. The pool area and restaurant is beautiful.
Food was great, we had dinner and breakfast here it was really tasty. Great Khao Soi, also freshly baked croissants and excellent coffee (with oat milk, which is hard to find).
Location is great, the west side of the island has some gorgeous beaches and great beach bars, all very close by. Motorbike is recommended, or the hotel offer a taxi service.
Best of all was the staff, so friendly and attentive. After we checked in and walked past the pool area, all the staff stopped and smiled and welcomed us. ‘Eie’ was super nice, we loved her, she had the biggest smiles for everyone :)
Would definitely come back here, highly recommend.

Really nice view over the beach in the Deluxe Bungalow with a sea view that we chose to stay in. It could be good to know that those Bungalows face north so you can´t really experience the sunset from the Balcony (which we hoped for)
Regarding the price, we paid for the room, we had expected housekeeping to be included on daily basis. Instead we every day needed to tell reception and leave our only room key to get the room cleaned. The reception closed at 6 PM so there was also a bit of stress to get back in time to get the key back in time. And a couple of times they forgot to clean even though we have asked for it.
We booked our stay through Booking and have given all our credit card details through Booking and expected the hotel to debit the cost for the stay that way. Instead, the hotel skips to debit your card through Booking and asks you to pay on arrival. Which for us becomes an extra fee because the hotel debits you extra if you pay by card and not cash. (We thought the payment was already made so of course we didn´t have enough money upon arrival

Amazing place! The bungalow was comfy and clean and not too close to the other bungalows. The beach is just a short walk away. The pool area is beautiful and has a great view overlooking the beach. We tried out their restaurant too and the food was tasty & not overpriced. Coffee was also great. There are also other really good restaurants within a walking distance. Could have spent more days at High Life!
Sunbeds at the pool were sometimes all occupied, so better get to them early. The location is great if you have a scooter, but you won't be able to walk to a lot of attractions. Otherwise nothing bad to say, this place is great for the price.
