Fodor's Expert Review Zazen

Minimalist Japanese style makes this hotel a refreshing change of pace, especially if you've been in Thailand for a while. Low-slung Eastern-style beds, brilliant red accents, and panoramic windows are signature elements of the rooms, and bungalows have sliding doors so you can enjoy the breezes. It's peaceful and relaxing here, especially near the water: the pool is striking at night and beautifully lighted, and rows of comfortable chairs line the beach.
