Estancia tranquila en medio de la naturaleza
Pros:

Son bungalows sencillos pero muy cómodos y más que suficientes para dos personas. Me quedé allí un mes y tuve una estancia maravillosa. Fui en temporada baja, así que todo estaba muy tranquilo.
Hay una cocina exterior donde también preparé mi propia comida. Igualmente, ellos tienen un restaurante al que puedes ir, son 6 minutos en moto, y está muy bien.
Justo enfrente hay una lavandería donde pones monedas y puedes lavar tu ropa sin problema. También hay una piscina disponible para los huéspedes.
Como el lugar está rodeado de naturaleza, es normal que haya algunos insectos. Pero las ventanas tienen mosquiteras, así que en ese sentido todo fue muy tranquilo, porque los mosquitos no entraban en el bungalow.
Es un lugar muy tranquilo, con mucha vida local, algo que me gustó bastante. Además, está en una zona de la isla menos turística, lo cual también me encantó.
Sin embargo, es esencial tener una moto para desplazarse. La playa, el gimnasio y todas las tiendas están a cinco minutos en moto. Y la isla en sí es encantadora; vale muchísimo la pena explorá-la en moto.
Los propietarios son personas muy tranquilas y simpáticas.

Cons:

Lo que menos me gustó fue que allí hay una máquina para comprar agua muy barata, donde solo tienes que poner monedas. Yo pregunté varias veces sobre dónde podía comprar agua y en ningún momento me mencionaron que existía esa máquina. Entiendo que fue un error de comunicación, pero me afectó bastante durante mi estancia, porque fui al supermercado, compré varias botellas de agua y pedí que me las entregaran, algo totalmente innecesario, ya que nadie me avisó de que tenía la máquina justo allí y podía comprar el agua fácilmente.

Aunque el cuarto tiene aire acondicionado, las ventanas son de madera. Entonces, si quieres encender el aire y tienes que cerrar todas las ventanas, la habitación queda completamente a oscuras y cerrada. Se siente un poco incómodo. De todas formas, para mí no fue un problema: yo dejaba solo una ventana abierta y usaba el aire, aunque la temperatura no quedara totalmente concentrada en el cuarto.
También hay varios perros por la zona y a veces aúllan un poco por la noche, pero eso tampoco fue un inconveniente para mí.

Very quiet very restful.
Pros:

The location was away from the hustle and nightlife, nice to walk every morning into Nathon and the waterfall. The owners are really, really nice people who will do most anything fro you.

Hospedaje tranquilo y acogedor!
Pros:

Disfrutamos mucho nuestra estadía aquí, el lugar es hermoso, tiene un parque muy grande con mucha vegetación y mucha tranquilidad para desconectar realmente.. La piscina es grande y está disponible todo el tiempo. En tanto a los anfitriones son súper amables y atentos a todo lo que necesites… Sin duda lo elegiríamos nuevamente para la próxima ocasión

Cons:

Nos hubiese sido útil contar con algunos utensilios apropiados que se adapten bien a la cocina eléctrica, ya que estuvimos 1 mes y nos costaba cocinar allí… pero descartando eso excelente

Happy and sweet
Pros:

Very sweet couple checked us in and helped us with a bike out for the island transfers to and from ferrys. They delivered fresh water bottles and fruit every morning at no extra cost. Peaceful location not too far out the way. The room was perfect spaced out with seating area and a large TV for use. Would highly recommend and happily stay again. Perfect

Tara Resort offers a peaceful countryside escape surrounded by nature and local charm
Pros:

A stunning location immersed in nature, offering a truly serene escape. While the rainy season can make the access road a bit challenging—especially if you're new to riding scooters—the short 8-minute journey to town is otherwise easy and scenic. The real highlight? A breathtaking waterfall just five minutes up the road, adding an unforgettable touch of adventure to your stay.

Cons:

A peaceful countryside setting with plenty of charm, but do come prepared. As expected in rural areas, you’ll encounter bugs of all shapes and sizes—and yes, some may find their way indoors. The presence of dogs adds to the local atmosphere, but they can be quite vocal, especially at night, so light sleepers may want to pack earplugs. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, which made restful sleep a bit tricky. One downside was the refusal to arrange an early morning airport transfer; I had to find my own, and unfortunately, it didn’t go to plan. That said, a huge thank you to the warm-hearted grandfather at the resort, who kindly stepped in at 5am and ensured I made it to a nearby taxi rank. His kindness turned a stressful situation into a memorable act of hospitality.

Unique experience in the wild
Pros:

Tara Resort is the whole experience, not just the place to stay. We rented a villa for a month and could not be more happy! Very comfortable room with a big screen tv, plenty of storage, full kitchen just behind your back door, big fridge, fast wifi, working desk, patio with a beautiful view. We’ve enjoyed swimming pool occasionally. The owner’s family is very helpful and welcoming, providing that “at home” feeling.
Location is a bit distanced from tourist destinations, but if you want to disconnect and rest - this is the right choice. There are plenty wildlife going on, so always check your place for unwanted visitors like hunter spiders or even snakes (owners helped us to get out one with the animal rescue team), I’d recommend keeping the doors closed after the sunset and you’ll be fine!
The place can get moldy though, if it’s raining season (we stayed in November when lots of rain) and since it’s close to the river. Don’t bring stuff that you’re not ready to lose to the mold and arrange a good ventilation.
I highly recommend them from my heart since it’s a unique experience, kinda a countryside of Thailand but with comfort. Easy to rent a scooter right there, laundry just a few steps away. Perfect, would love to be back for a dryer season ❤️

Cons:

Can’t remember of anything

Pros:

It are is lovely and very quiet location. We saw very little of the staff and when we did they were smiley and friendly but couldn't understand us,which was difficult because they didn't empty the bins or change the towels and there was no information in the room telling us what the procedure was regarding this. Not enough cutlery, only one knife and there was no plug for microwave and no tea towels. No restaurant or bar which would be a problem if you didn't hire a car. Beautiful surroundings just needs attention to basics.

Amazing serene, quiet stay by the jungle
Pros:

It's the garden of Eden, such a really beautiful serene place, especially if you're in a need of quietness and calmness in nature amongst the mountains just beside the jungle.
Host family is really nice and helpful, rooms are comfortable, clean and well equipped.
Dogs are friendly.

A Wonderful Place in the Jungle
Pros:

A beautiful location and a very kind family hosting. We spent 4 weeks at Tara and loved every day there. The cabins have everything you need and are very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and walks into Na Thon or up to the waterfall.

amazing brand new equipment studios in a quiet and natural place
Pros:

very friendly staff always replying quickly, the family garden is beautiful, mountain & jungle scenery are amazing, the studio equipment is the best I had in Thailand, really enjoyed the quality of the studio and the outdoor kitchen

Cons:

it is a bit isolated far from the busy beaches, but the northern beaches are just 15min away
not reassuring to be chased by the dogs on the road to the resort 😅 but they don’t bite
the swimming pool is not as good as it shows on the pictures, I thought I could enjoy it between work sessions but unfortunately it felt more like the owners private space and the pool wasn’t very inviting
