Bounty Resort

We had a really lovely weekend at Bounty Resort! The staff were very friendly, and the restaurant was excellent.

The Bounty’s restaurant served the best food. We had breakfast and dinner there numerous times. And very good value. The deluxe room kept very cool with the aircon on. The staff were so lovely. Very welcoming and friendly. Beautiful gardens and walking distance to a couple of cafes and restaurants. The private beach was small and a bit rocky for swimming but a nice place to relax at the end of the day. The steps down to the beach are very steep. We hired scooters from the bike shop above Bounty to get around. Friendly staff there too.

The smell of the bathroom fresheners. I found them too strong and they gave me a headache. I had to put them outside for my stay. The mosquitoes were bad too in the evening. I did use a rid coil and spray to keep them off me. It was quite hot at this location outside. Didn’t seem to ever get a cool breeze from the ocean like other locations we went too.

Very quaint and lush little resort 5 min walk to Secret Beach & Haad son. My little bungalow was super cute and just perfect as a solo traveller. Had a lovely veranda with seating and a hammock to chill outside, with partial ocean views. The mini private beach was also perfect to watch the sunset. The most exceptional aspect were the staff: the reception lady and one of the male workers went above and beyond to talk to and help me during my stay. One worker even drove me to the ATM on his motorbike & to Zen beach! Amazing resort and experience :)

Quite far from busier areas (you can’t walk anywhere because of the hills as well). Getting everywhere requires a taxi (and they are very expensive on the island) or renting a motorbike (which I would not recommend unless you are experienced due to the hilly windy and bumpy island roads).

The room was big and the view was ok. It was quiet. Staff helped to carry the luggages because it was very steep to get to the room

Location in between the main tourist villages. Need a scooter to reach the place, that was expected and ok. However lots of stairs to reach the room, very steep. Nothing around in the immediate proximity, so need to drive the scooter each time and then walk stairs and stairs and stairs. We had the superior bungalow and it was quite expensive at 120€/night. For that price I expected more. The hotel is mainly geared towards backpackers and they have one more expensive place which is bigger than the others. I was expecting it to be nicer but it was actually worse than the backpacker-places. A balcony facing the pathway and not the seaview, people looking into your house all the time. Would not recommend it again. Cleaning was done only every two days, not acceptable for this price in my opinion. There is a private beach that you can reach by climbing some stairs down, however it is not well maintained, dirt all around. They put some very old plastic beach chairs which are partially broken, not the best experience. Our experience started quite annoying also, we arrived after an intercontinental flight and a long ferry ride and just wanted to get to our room, however they expected the full amount of the entire stay upfront before allowing us to get to the room. (what is this??) We had around 50% of the amount in cash and I suggested I pay that, freshen up in the room and then head to the ATM and pay the rest. They refused this and forced my wife to sit at the reception while I was forced to get on a motorbike and get cash at an ATM, never experienced anything like this before in my travels. Pool and restaurant were useless. In 6 days I never saw anyone at the pool and only every once in a while someone would sit in the restaurant.
