We like mid-range hotels. Our first impression of this place was disappointing, but we soon warmed up to it. The staff were so nice, the location was excellent, the beach was 20 steps from our room, the food at the restaurant was sooooo good (except instant coffee at breakfast) and it was not on the main street so it was very quiet.
The resort is a bit run down but we soon found that most of the resorts are. The pandemic has been hard on them all. A few things that we didn’t like (mostly first world problems): the room is so basic there’s not even a chair inside, no extras like hair conditioner or hair dryer, and no safe (so we used the lockers in the office). These are all things we could live with.
The one thing that we really didn’t like is all the clutter and junk on the property. There are piles of old nets, broken chairs, rusty freezers and general clutter piled around. It really takes away from the quaintness of the property.
For the price it’s a good stay. The pool was nice, the rooms were very clean, the restaurant was very simple but the cook was amazing (honestly had our best Thai dishes here), we could sit on beach chairs all day and not have to pay (but we did have to fight for shade in the afternoon). The sunsets were awesome and there were lots of choices for food or drinks within a short walk (either on the beach or on the street). Some resorts were by noisy bars but this place was so quiet…except for the sound of the surf.
