We had stayed in the SamRoiYod area before, so we knew what to expect there - it's a beautiful stretch of beach that's not terribly developed and is fairly quiet. The Away Beach, though, that totally blew us away! It was so beautiful, and the rooms were so large, we mostly wanted to stay inside for the first day or two and just enjoy the space, air conditioning and wifi. It even had a decent view! We were looking for something restful, and this definitely qualified. It wasn't exactly perfect - it's just slightly too far away from the beach (400-500m) to be perfect. But it was a fantastic stay! They provide bicycles that you can take out any time, which was the most convenient way to get outside the grounds of the resort, either for a meal or to go to the beach. The people who manage the resort are Danish, friendly and speak excellent English.
The onsite restaurant was great, very convenient, with good food and competitive prices, although it is outdoors so it can be quite warm at times.
Overall, I would highly recommend this place if you like a peaceful, beautiful resort, and you don't mind biking to the beach or to explore.
