“No sleep”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2011

The resort was booked through Unseen Travel when we were taken there by a Tuk Tuk in Bangkok so we don't know how much we payed to stay there. Our main problem with the place was the nightclub next door that continued playing until three oclock every night we stayed there, and it wasn't even good music. So if you stay here, make sure to have good air plugs.

We also had a fan room and since the bungalows are so big this do not help very much. Make sure to book with aircondition even if it costs more. With aircon and airplugs you can be able to get some sleep.

The beach looks good so it is nice to sit by the beach, however, rocks in the water and also the tide makes it impossible to swim there. There is however a pool by the bungalows that are fairly okay. You can of course also rent scooters at the resort and go to much better beaches on the island.

The owners and personell are nice and friendly, but the woman administering the place is very strict. Food price is okay and the food tastes quite good even if it is small potions and the meny varies from time to time. It is also free wifi in the reception area which is good.

Since sleeping is the most important part of having a hotel room for us, we unfortunately cannot recommend the place. However, if you like to hang out in bars to three oclock every night and have aircon, it can be quite okay.

“Best stay during our trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2011

We loved this bungalow!!
We spend 5 days there and it was just nice.
The bungalows are clean (anytime you want it to be cleaned, just tell the friendly stuff), big, and most of them with air con.
You can rent motorbikes there, what we did every day- very cheap and very good.
The whole stuff is just great- very familar. The beach is just in front of the bungalows- but not so good for swimming. As I said, we rent the bikes and we drove to some other beaches. No problem for us...
We would go there every time again.

“Do not go here - you have been warned!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2010

Intended to stay here for 5 days but left early. Looked good in the brochure the agent in Chiang Mai showed me. But brochure/web site heavily Photo Shopped and bears little resemblance to the reality, which is shocking. Very run down, dirty (no one cleaned in the time I was there), old damaged furniture, place crawling with insects. Breakfast was very basic. 'Welcome drink' was half a glass of flat Coke (I should have realised what was coming). During heavy rainfall a snake came down from the roof into my room. They moved me but had no concern about it. I left the next day. In reality only one bungalow is on the beach - all others are back along a trail facing each other so little privacy. This place is very basic with absolutely no charm. Hugely overpriced. Beach is heavily polluted at high tide mark with water bottles, clothing etc. Beach has loads of broken glass on it and very rocky at the shoreline. Paradise this is not!

“Cannot recommend this place”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2010

This 'resort' is extremely over priced for what you get and to call it a resort is a stretch of the imagination. I paid 700baht for a bungalow that did not have hot water and was pretty shabby. The service overall was poor and I was extremely disappointed with my stay. There are cheaper better quality bungalows at other places in Koh Lanta, I cannot recommend this place.

“Dirty, overpriced and just plain shady”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2010

The cheapie wooden bungalow I stayed in was unliveable -- paper thin walls that made it impossible to sleep, lights that didn't work, full of bugs and lizards (there were geckos and spiders in the bed, and my backpack would fill up with thousands of ants every night), no linen on the bed despite the fact that it got quite cold at night, absolutely filthy and stifling hot to the point where it was impossible to be in the room during the day. Furthermore, the construction of the bungalow was so poor that anyone could've easily broken in.

Yes, I stayed in the cheapest bungalow available, but the point is: there are far, far better places to stay for the same price or cheaper. This place was just a cess pit.

It is also very true that the owners here do shady business, too. Here are some incidents that occured while I was there:

1. The room rate changed quite a lot over the short period of time that I stayed here. On my first night, the lady charged me 500 baht for the bamboo bungalow. On my second night, the man charged me 400 baht. Then, on the third night (which I ended up cancelling and going somewhere else anyway) I was going to be charged 350 baht. It seems that another reviewer on this page paid 800 baht for the exact same room as me. Hmmm..!

2. I booked a ferry to Phi Phi through them. I got ready and made my way to reception at 7am, the time I was told to be there by. I was then left waiting around the reception area for 30 minutes while the man pissed about cleaning the pool, clearly ignoring me. Finally, he told me to go back to bed because the minibus wouldn't be leaving until 8.30am. I went back to my room and - surprise, surprise! - 15 minutes later, one of the man's sons was knocking on my door, telling me that I had missed the minibus. However, a group of people I had met at the resort told me that no minibus ever came. In the end I was able to get a refund, but it was at that exact moment that everyone there suddenly stopped being so "nice" to me and became extremely rude. Which brings me to...

3. The price of the internet "coincidently" became more expensive after I demanded a refund for the botched Phi Phi trip. I had used the internet for 1 hour the night prior and still had an outstanding fee to pay. When I went to pay, the internet was suddenly 20 baht dearer than what I had paid before. When I brought this up, the man said (and I quote) "why are you worried about money? you already have enough money anyway" and shooed me away.

4. Everyone else I met at the resort had had problems with the owners, too.

I ended up cutting my stay here short and leaving for another bungalow on the next beach over with a girl I met at the resort. It was cheaper and much, MUCH nicer.
