We spent 5 fantastic nights at Villa 2 and everything you read here is true… so here are more practical tips to make your stay more enjoyable… Getting there - we used vecay taxi website to book transfer from airport to Bang Rong pier, cheaper than Grab app. They were waiting at the airport arrival and the 30 min transfer was smooth ( read my Bang Rong Pier review). At Bang Rong, you can either pre book your tickets online or just buy there which is about USD $2 cheaper. Let Purana know of you arrival time and they will pick u up from either Manoh or Laem Sai pier on the island. Stay- For absolute privacy, get either Villa 1 ( bigger) or 2 ( quieter). Both offer privacy with the pools surrounded by forest and great views of the water and island. With the forest comes the ants and small insects so beware of leaving food outside. Villa 8 is also quite private but is closer to the road, though the traffic is hardly there as Purana is on the quieter side of Yao Noi. The seaside villas gets you closer to the sea sounds, but as there is a small beach bar nearby, May not offer as much privacy during the high peak months. The beach itself is rocky and not suitable for kids. Eat- Purana has a small kitchen offering local favourites throughout most of the day for in room dining, and the breakfast is as advertised- fantastic! If you want a bit more variety, there is a small family restaurant across the road, but quality may vary. Alternatively, try Prabus Restaurant a short 5 min ride away ( rent in-house bikes or ask for hotel transport if they are available) Great food and prices, and at high tide the pier offers great views too.
