A great experience. A must visit. The food was exquisite. The service was fantastic. Very attentive, polite and efficient. But then again it is the view and the seating arrangements that are fantastic. We can absolutely recommend this place, it is the biggest secret gem. You have the most amazing view over Koh Samui and the staff is so kind. We had the best Pad Thai here on our whole journey around the southern islands. There also is a shuttle service for 50 thb from the parking spot described in one of the other comments ;) Enjoy this magical place ✨ Perfectly prepared food, beautiful surroundings and good service. The view was amazing! 😍

Great spot in Samui to relax and see the sea view from above. Foods were very good for both Thai and foreigner. They can adjust level of spiciness for you. If you’re Thai you can ask more a Thai style sauce. I took my Dutch friend there and he loves it as well. The giant net was perfect for lying down, chilling even sleeping. I even overslept on it and didn’t get a chance to get on the giant swing! Next time then. They got a shuttle for customer to go up and down to the resto as well.
