We loved our stay here so much! Especially our daily black kitty visitor! The staff were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. We did not use the pool because we were on the water beach each day. There are loungers available and the beach is very clean with soft sand. This was a nice, quiet stay that’s far enough away from the full moon party and jungle party to enjoy some solitude but still close enough to not have to travel far! There is delicious breakfast and dinner available for a fee so we didn’t really have to eat anywhere else. We so enjoyed our honeymoon and are grateful to the owners for sharing their property and taking such great care of us!

Hotel was good, my only complaint would be the size of the bungalow, and the bathroom was a bit mucky. The location is a bit isolated, although you can rent a scooter for 200 baht a day to get nearly everywhere on the island in 15 min. There is music playing at night from the nearby hotels, but during the day its very calm. If you're the type of person who spends very little time in you room, and love to explore, its a great place to stay.

Déçu

Nous avons été déçu par l'environnement. Piscine sale, plage impraticables, logement avec des trous dans chaque porte et fenêtres. Je vous raconte pas comment les fourmis piquantes et geckos se sont régalés de nous rendre visites. Obligé de combler les trous avec des serviettes et papier toilette. Je sais que nous sommes en Thaïlande et que cela est propice aux bestioles mais à plus de 30 euros la nuit il y a des limites. Nous avons payés beaucoup moins cher et avons eu un cadre ydilique et rien à redire sur le logement. Je ne recommande pas.

Super fin bungalow med skøn udsigt

Havde en familiehytte som var rigtig fin. Dejlig flot have og fantastisk udsigt. Man kan dog ikke bade i havet da der er meget lavvandet. Men der er en rigtig god swimmingpool. Maden er god på resortet og servicen var i top. Der er ca. 10 min kørsel til byen Thong Sala, hvor det er shopping og spisesteder.

Netter Aufenthalt im Ausweichquartier.

Nettes Hotel mit schönen Gartenbungalows. Hotelzimmer können wir leider nicht bewerten, da es Schwierigkeiten mit unserer Reservierung gab. Uns wurden aber Unterkünfte in einem verbundenes Hotel angeboten, die wir auch gerne angenommen haben. (Ein fast leerstehendes Hotel mit Suiten am Pool). Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Frühstück gab es im gebuchten Hotel. Man wollte uns hierzu am Ausweichquartier abholen und wieder hin bringen, Hotelshuttle. Da das Hotel über den Strand jedoch nur 5 Minuten Fußmarsch entfernt lag, haben wir diesen Weg gewählt. Das Frühstück war sehr schlicht und mager und entsprach eigentlich nicht unseren Erwartungen.

A review

Resort itself is quite okay but we had a one of the old wooden bungalows instead of the much modern concrete bungalows. Floor of this old bungalow seemed to be more or less rotten. Bed mattress was old and felt like concrete. Bed itself was full of termite holes. TV was probably the first plasma TV that came to the market and it didn't work properly. I wouldn't go to this resort again if I knew that I had to stay in these old bungalows. These old wooden ones should be demolished and replace with those same size concrete ones. Resort has small swimming pool and location is okay and it is easy to rent a motorbike nearby or from the resort. We didn't include breakfast for our stay except one morning we decided to have breakfast at resort. Based on that I'd say that you get better ones from those small restaurants next to main street. Staff at the resort was very helpful and my main point is that bungalow wasn't worth the money we paid. One other thing was that there is Infinity club as next door neighbor and they'll start playing techno music at 10am and stop it around midnight. This occurs every day.

Auf dem ersten Blick dachten wir es wäre ganz okay. Das Resort ist ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen. Die Zimmer waren absolut fürchterlich - Schimmel in der Dusche, Ein Haufen Ameisen im Bett und keine Nachtwache. Wir haben mit anderen gesprochen bei denen die Zimmer ebenfalls so waren.

Comfortable, on the beach - great drinks & food

Great comfortable stay in a bungalow with sea view. Good food and great cocktails at their hotel restaurant - the pina coladas they made were the best ones we had during our 2 week trip to Thailand. The hotel arranged free shuttle from the pier when we arrived, and even though our boat was 3 hours delayed, they made sure to be there for us. A 20 min ride or so away from Haad Rin where the fullmoon party was, but convenient and nice. Good vibe and nice pool too, the beach was also beautiful for a sunrise walk along the beach. The shower was a little tricky to get the correct temperature at first, but once we figured it out we had no issues. Bed was ok. Not uncomfortable but a little hard perhaps, which is normal for Thailand.

Bungalow right on the beach

A nice little family owned place right on the beach. Our bungalow was a basic room with a bathroom, nothing fancy. But what it lacked in extravagances it made up in service and kindness. The family were so friendly and helpful. We ate at their restaurant several times, and if we wanted to eat in our bungalow then bring it. Even the dogs are nice. The only complaint is the bed, very hard and uncomfortable. Not what I’m used to but had a couple massages in town which helped. Overall if your looking for a friendly, quieter and beautiful beach, this is your place. Will definitely go back
