    The breakfast isn’t very good

    First off the receptionist is one of the nicest people. She never stops smiling :) The room was spacious with a gorgeous balcony, very comfortable pillows, good air con and very clean The location is perfect

    The pool was smaller than depicted and definitely not clean, and the beds gave me pretty bad muscle aches, I didn’t feel like the sheets were fresh and comfortable even though they changed them every day… but overall it really feels like paradise over there, would come again!

    Amazing location, nice sized rooms, massive bathroom, easy check in/out, chilled vibe, quiet and beautiful

    Its a shame that the beach this resort is so quiet and quite run down. You can’t swim in the sea as it is so shallow. Many of the resorts along the strip have closed so it is quite eery at night. None of this is the responsibility of the resort but those booking should be aware. We still had a lovely stay and would recommend the resort, but those booking should make sure they do their research properly depending on the type of trip desired.

    Clean, comfortable, pretty location, big rooms with ample space. Short walk from the pier. Some friendly and helpful staff- especially on the front desk. Excellent resort next door where we spent a lot of our time.

    Shower could have more power.

    Amazing staff, great location and very good price. Hotel is right on lovely beach. Need water shoes as small stones in water and there are better beaches on island but you’ll be at those on moped. Beach great for sunbathing and dip to cool off. Decent pool. This is close to pier only 15 min walk. Hotel clean, basic and shower could be more powerful but does the job. Great price. Firmish bed but comfy. Cheap moped rental from hotel 250 baht per bike per day.

    Strange attitude at reception. The receptionist wanted cash , then after 3 days rented our room out to another couple who were staying at the resort , despite us wanting to stay on. We were offered a much less nice room . When we tried to re book to return a few days later , the receptionist told as the hotel was full. Yet when we went online we had no trouble booking a room. So we checked in , and found there was a number of empty rooms . Maybe they wanted empty rooms to to be available at exorbitant prices for the full moon party the following weekend . In the 6 days we stayed at DaKanda , we saw no one who appeared to be a manager or supervisor . Only the receptionist and her assistant . The dining area was very dirty . Rubbish piled up in a disused section . We saw rats every night as our bungalow was behind the kitchen. The restaurant waiters and kitchen staff were all from Myanmar, which now seems to be the case on the islands in the South of Thailand. They were friendly and cheerful.

    The bathroom windows were not screened which the Mosquitoes took advantage of.

    There are nicer beaches on the island but this one is great for short walking distance to town center and doing Bar crawl to neighboring resorts.

    the beach is not so nice. the main staff at the reception is often unfriendly. They also had us change the room and after saying to get a new room after one night and packing everything up they only changed after two nights and didn’t even communicate to the night staff so that we had no idea what was happening when coming back at night.

    The sockets work, but you can't connect a charger because it falls out - with all sockets. The internet was always slow in the evening. Impossible to stream movies or watch series.The shower was very water saving, so you had to shower longer to get clean. A mosquito net would have been desirable for the room price.

    Nice resort with very friendly staff. There is a shuttle service to the ferry every hour. You gqn rent a motorbike at the recption. The staff helps you with organizing tours around the island. The rooms are large, very clean, with a nice balcony. Kettle with coffee is available in the room, a small closet with safe and a spacious bathroom.
