    no complaints really. tv in room was very small but i didn't come to this location to watch tv so it is immaterial.

    great, peaceful resort right on the beach. ideally you want a moped or some type of private transport to easier to access surrounding cafes, restaurants and locations. room as advertised.

    There was confusion about when our check out was and we were incorrectly woken up whilst very hungover the day after full moon 🤣 But easy mistake to make 🤣 Room cleaning come into your room even if you haven’t put the “please clean” sign out, which was odd.

    Room ended up being better than the one in the photos ! A nice surprise! Pool was great, property is right on the beach (but the beach isn’t so great). Staff were helpful in arranging taxis for full moon party & to the pier for us. Affordable prices too! Great value for money.

    Transportation links around the resort as well as the bathroom within the property were not ideal. Bathroom kept flooding when taking a shower.

    Really loved the location, a great resort right on the beachfront. The cabin itself was a good size with a fridge and storage space. Bathroom on the smaller side.

    Wifi did not work very well. No outlets near the bed. Bungalow was very dated, especially the sink/bathroom. Side road to resort is very dark at night, I would suggest making sure you arrive during the day. 2/3 nights were really quiet but one night there was really loud music, presumably from the one nearby bar. Bungalow is closed with a pad lock. Didn’t have hot water but staff acted very quickly and fixed it within a a few hours. The bungalow had a lot of bugs, ants in particular which I imagine that comes with the territory of bungalows but wanted to mention.

    Located on the beach. Pool was nice. Resort itself is really pretty. Not too far from restaurants and pretty close to the ferry pier (about 45 min walking). AC worked well. Very chill vibe here, lots of families.

    The long lane to get to the property / location - it’s quite dark but the overall location is good. There wasn’t really anything happening at the resort, very chill/quiet, no shop or anything available to buy drinks etc at the hotel. Tiki beach is directly next door and they have a bar, music playing and something happening every night so can easily go there (walk along the sand, takes 1 minute). Furniture is quite dated and you lock the bungalow with an actual padlock and key but this was fine and secure.

    We stayed here for 2 nights. The staff were very friendly, the pool area was nice, room was very clean (we had an extra single bed too, I think most rooms have it). Aircon was fine, shower / bathroom was good. Basic enough but no complaints :) we rented bike here too for 200b per day. Staff also help book taxi.

    Cozy and relaxing bungalows not far from the city
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights
    • Submitted via mobile

    The Resort is not directly on the main road and you need to walk about 200-300 m on a small road which is a lot if you arrive with heavy luggage. It is about 2,5 km from the city center (about 30-40 minutes walk), 3 km from Thongsala pier, so you will need a scooter to move around (or a taxi 100 THB one way which can be arranged at the property or you just stand on the main road and stop any collective taxi). The owner is nice but don't expect any help in booking the tours, ferry tickets, scooter rental, etc. There is also no restaurant and no bar. I had many ants everywhere in my room, and there are many mosquitos in the evening, so don't forget to bring a mosquito spray!

    Quiet and clean bungalows, they are cleanend every day. The Resort is directly on the beach, which is nothing special but it is nice to take a walk or watch the sunset. There is a nice pool and the water is clean. This property is good for relaxing, you can also take a massage on the beach. Luckily next door there is Tikki Beach Hotel, which has a Restaurant, a beach bar and live music at the weekend. Thank you very much for the luggage storage on new year's day as the hotel was fully booked.
