This traditional Thai-style luxury resort is home for the holiday and the rustic architecture and tranquil atmosphere create a wonderful setting to unwind. Lounge by the pool, linger at the lobby bar or leg it down to beautiful Surin beach, a long stretch of sand lapped by calm, blue waters. There are also day trips available, from snorkelling to scuba diving and elephant safaris - just ask at the tour desk. At night, thumb a tuk-tuk or sawngthaew to Patong or Kata for a taste of the island's incredible nightlife.

On 07 June the Australian Government issued an updated travel warning for East Timor strongly advising against travel to East Timor because of the extremely dangerous security situation. Australians in the country are advised to leave. The Travel Warning remains at Category 5 - Do Not Travel.
On Tuesday 07 June we have taken the decision to cancel the remainder of our East Timor trips scheduled to depart in 2006. All travellers will be notified and given the opportunity to transfer to another trip or obtain a full refund (land content only). We very much regret having to take this action and our thoughts and sympathies are with the people of East Timor during this troubled time.
We are confident of being able to resume our normal schedule of trips to East Timor in 2007 and hope that those travellers who have had to cancel their plans this year will travel with us to East Timor in 2007.
