Good

Loved this place, stayed at several different properties/areas during my three weeks on the island and this was my favourite. Great chilled atmosphere, amazing views, good snorkelling and there is a great restaurant on-site. Definitely recommended!

We stayed for five nights in a deluxe room with king bed and sea views. The room was clean, with everything we needed and a very comfortable bed. There were a couple of issues with the toilet upon our check-in, but these were fixed promptly, which was greatly appreciated. The service was mostly excellent and the food was really good with our compliments to the chef for excellent western & Thai dishes. We always ate the western breakfast (yum) and I usually ate Thai for dinner (as when in Thailand…), while my Thai girlfriend often opted for western dishes (the pasta was really good). My girlfriend also likes Som Tam (Papaya Salad) and it was so authentic (so spicy) that even she struggled to eat it (we both had a good laugh at that). The location is quite a bit out of the way, but I had booked two days of scuba diving from the nearby pier, so it was perfect for that. The pier is also worth checking out for other lunch options or booking sightseeing trips on land, but it is a 20-minute walk each way. Whilst I agree with the philosophy of only getting bottled water on the first day and then using the refill station at reception for water, it would be great if housekeeping didn’t throw out all our empty bottles while we were out for the day (but it only happened once towards the end of our stay). Otherwise thoroughly recommended.
