    Bungalow could be a little cleaner.

    Very quiet and peaceful, on the beach, right next to the sea. Price was reasonable and staff was very helpful.

    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

    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.

    The bath curtain was full of mold. There were only 2 sockets in the whole room.

    The room was a great value for the price. The service was really good, the reception was always available and the staff were very nice and welcoming. Everyday the staff cleaned the whole hotel area and took care of the gardening. The compound was very well maintained. There's an option to book a massage in the hotel, and to rent a vehicle. Our hotel was right on the beach, and had a restaurant near by and water sports.

    Room amenities are non existent. We had the most expensive beach front bungalow which was extremely scarce, with no cotton buds, shower caps, the cheapest, flimsiest toilet paper, no second waste basket other than the bathroom, no night stand or electrical socket on the second side of the bed and so on, just very basic. The big sliding doors to the beach are nice, but because the glass hardly mirrors, everyone outside could watch you walk naked in your room. No breakfast options, though next dit Tiki Bar has excellent food, luckily. Even basic English isn't understood by the manager, which caused some trouble with minor and one major issue. Personnel overall is somewhat invisible. The view on the sea is amazing, but in August the water is too shallow to swim, even at high tide, a big bummer. Rent a scooter at Pukki's back on the main road to drive to swimmable beaches

    The beautiful setting of the hotel, in tropical gardens with a lovely pool. Very good beds. Good position of the ac, above the bed, so you don't get the cold blow on your face or body.

    You can’t swim in the sea here it’s fine as there is a pool but we didn’t know it was so un-swimmable and not really the prettiest beach. There was 2 cockroaches in our bathroom but they must have come up the drain so not really the hotels fault. And quite a few ants crawling up the walls by the sink. Also in our room the curtains were just mesh so people walking past could just see inside and light would shine through all night which was very annoying when we were trying to sleep, we hung towels up to cover the windows… not sure if it’s like this in every room. Loud cockerels right outside our window at about 5:30am every morning.

    On the beach and not too far to walk from restaurants and 7/11. Comfy bed. Really nice clean pool (but could maybe have some sun loungers or deck chairs by the pool instead of just chairs). The staff were all very friendly and easily booked us a taxi after our stay to our next hotel on the island. The bigger bungalows on the seafront looked really nice so I would definitely upgrade to one of those! Good A/C.

    the furniture is a bit outdated, but everything was clean. maybe a different solution for the curtain directly next to the bathtub would be an idea

    the owner was super friendly and we had a sea-front bungalow for the group. we did not even use the pool as the beach is pretty nice there and also only stayed 1 night

    The family apartment consisted of two bungalows of which one needs a bit of refurbishment like a new shower curtain, proper cabinet etc.

    One part of the bungalow was perfect. Spacious shower, comfortable bed, balcony and a view onto the ocean.
