The beach is beautiful but beware of booking a “beachside bungalow”. They’re not all exactly on the front row of the beach. Ours was a bit further back. Only like 10 seconds walk but we couldn’t really see the sea. Try to book/ask for front row beachside. It’s quite a basic hotel… but authentic Thai style. Lots of restaurants within walking distance and a short taxi to Chaweng.

Very comfortable rooms, nice beds, lovely pool,I loved the ponds outside the rooms. Yummy breakfast. My only concern was the fridge and TV socket was very dodgy the fridge kept turning off, and the connection to the TV was making crackling noises. So I managed to pull the TV plug out to stop it from sparking, it looked to me that the plug socket was broken.

First of all: the place itself is beautiful. The beach and the location are absolutely perfect. The bungalow, however, was a bit small – not a huge problem, but something to keep in mind. What was really unbearable though was the constant sewage smell coming from the bathroom. It was so bad that we had to buy air fresheners just to tolerate it. Now, what is an absolute no-go and the reason why I will never return: we rented a scooter through the hotel. I clearly showed on the calendar the exact rental period. I needed it until late in the evening, but since it couldn’t be returned that late, the hotel staff told me they would pick it up the next morning at 9am. When they came to collect it, the first thing they did was take the scooter key from me – but they refused to give back my passport, which they had kept as security. Only after I insisted, they finally brought my passport, but by then the scooter key was gone. Suddenly, they demanded that I pay for an extra day, even though everything was written correctly in the rental contract and I had already paid in full. This was nothing but blackmail – I was forced to pay just to get my passport back. To make things worse, the scooter rental owner cannot be found anywhere on Google or WhatsApp. This was a scam, and it is absolutely unacceptable for a hotel to rent scooters to guests through such shady people.

The place had been here for awhile but it is well maintain. The pool is nice and you can't beat the beach here. There is no barrier so the ocean water is always clean. My kids spent hours in the water. For it location, you can't beat it price. The staff were great. Some even help us after their work hour. They have staff clean the beach chairs and comb the beach to keep it clean.

The restaurant for breakfast was far away. The breakfast wasn't particularly good, not a big selection. The large swimming pool was not cooled, it was like bath water. Very unfortunate. The location of the resort to the city was very far without TucTuc and the TucTuc prices were very high. The resort itself was quite nice. But very quiet and somewhat remote.
