The resort is nestled in a beautiful natural setting with unspoiled beach and wildlife. The bungalows are comfortable and well-kept, but the dining experience fell short with overly complex menus and prices. While the owner is helpful, the atmosphere can feel formal and unwelcoming. If you're looking for a remote getaway with nature, this is a good spot; just consider dining elsewhere for better value.

My stay at Buffalo Bay Vacation Club was truly enjoyable, with beautiful surroundings and excellent dining options. The bungalows were nice, but the heat at night made them a bit uncomfortable. The service could be improved, as I didn't feel fully welcomed upon arrival. Overall, this resort offers a great experience but might not cater well to families or those looking for extensive amenities.

Buffalo Bay offers a lovely setting on a peaceful beach and clean rooms. However, the service can be inconsistent, and the dining experience left much to be desired. The staff, while friendly at times, could use some improvement in hospitality. I found the price to be fair for the location, but there are some aspects that need attention to enhance guest experience.

My stay at Buffalo Bay Resort was absolutely delightful! The bungalows were spacious, and clean, and really made me feel at home, while the dining experience was superb. I enjoyed a variety of delicious dishes made with fresh ingredients, which was a highlight of my stay. The only downside was the limited swimming time due to low tide, which can be a bit inconvenient. Overall, it’s a fantastic family-friendly place to unwind and explore the beauty of Thailand.
