i've already stayed there about 6 times now and it will be the 7th this april, i admit we just keep coming back, and there a lot of reason why we keep coming back, nice front beach room, nice garden, nice staff, reasonable rates and a very good breakfast in garden, as i've said everything's nice

After arriving at the hotel we booked online in advance "Butterfly Bungalows" on the other side of the island, we were so upset and disappointed. The other hotel was horrible, far away, and not at all what we wanted. We set out on foot to find a better place to stay for the week that would fit in our price range. We almost missed Bamboo Bungalows, because from the beach sidewalk on the outside it does not look like much. The inside is just wonderful though. We stayed in a large bungalow with our own front porch, comfortable adirondack chairs and hammocks. One of our favorite things to do was come home from a great dinner and drinks and smoke a cigar and sit out on the porch. Also, the bungalows have great hi-speed Internet that works out on the porch and in the room. It made it easy for us to plan our itinerary and stay in touch with friends on Skype at home.

The breakfast that comes with the room is wonderful too. Out in the little courtyard, the staff cooks up breakfast made to order for you. I enjoyed the American breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast and fresh mangos every morning, while my fiance liked the Asian style breakfast with rice and sweet sausage. The best part is that one morning I came out early and forgot his order, the nice lady working there remembered it for me and cooked up his favorite just for him!!

The service was great, we felt secure and so thankful to have ended up at this charming, relaxed laid back little haven!

I agree about the great location and great staff. Also reasonable price. But personally I had a problem with the night staff who did not allow me to re-enter my room. The situation was only resolved when I contacted the police. There are lots of good places to stay in this part of the the beach without this hassle. Try Summer Place or SeaWind , both nearby. The best place to stay for me is Daves Straw Hat Inn, although it is a walk to the night spots. For the romantics, forget White Beach and go to Baling Hai resort.

WOW!!
This resort is reasonably priced, comfortable beachfront locality and pleasant accommodation with a beautiful garden restaurant. there is a very nice helpful staff and a dependable management!
.......beachfront is recognized as the best bathing area in the entire island!
