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.

Family Run business with pride of ownership. Clean well maintained beach side resort. Staff is small but will bend over backwards to meet your needs. Constantly cleaning and fixing up the place to improve it. Nicest sheets on our trip to date

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

Lovely
Quiet location on the beach. Beautiful gardens with lots of birds and nice pool area. In a good location close to ban tai. Would definitely recommend if you want somewhere close to the half moon festival.

Nice Chill Place by the beach
Overall we had a nice stay. They should update the website and information cards in the room, as they both indicate breakfast was included in the room cost. The bed could be softer! Being right bedside the ocean was great though. Very chill vibe. Will recommend.

Nice comfy hotel on the beach.. very quiet
Really nice hotel. We got our own little hut right on the beach, staff are friendly and helpful. We stayed during the full moon party and the resort was very quiet, too quiet for us as we were hoping for a more lively place for the full moon.
Location is good in respect to the beach but other than that there's not much around in terms of resteraunts and bars etc.

lovely holiday at a lovely hotel resort
Nice stay at lovely family run hotel resort. Lovely poolside bungalow also only a stones throw from the beach, bed was comfortable, room clean and tidy, bathroom was wetroom style but with a doored partition so only the shower area got wet. Food in restaurant was nice with good choice of both Thai and Western food.

Horrible service
The worst service I have ever had. The receptionist tried to blame us for only booking two days instead of five. The place was over priced and the beach is dirty. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.

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.

Resort très agréable en pleine nature. Le jardin est magnifique et très bien entrenu.Parfait pour se détendre car pas de bruit juste le chant des oiseaux.
On avait un bungalow vu sur mer c’était le top!
Le restaurant est très bon
Le personnel très accueillant toujours le sourire et aux petits soins
Nous avons réservé plusieurs choses avec l hôtel et nous avons eu aucun problème (taxi scooter excursions)
Merci encore à Wilma (la dame a l accueil) pour son aide
