Amazing location, friendly owner! However for 70 a night in Asia I would expect more. However Phuket is Phuket. Better bargains around but if pric doesn't matter you'll be very pleased. More

A very short walk from the beach and restaurants, in Kamala main street going the seaside, this is the place to be ! Peaceful place, nice welcome, very pleasant hosts, quiet rooms that smell so good lemongrass, lovely service, sweet attention...what else when you want to relax nearby the seaside in a charming place.

Very, very nice place with friendly and helpful owners. Modern, clean, safe and quiet. Good value for the price. Near everything - beach, shops, restaurants and entertainment. Much better and more for the money than you expect from a guesthouse. More

In Thailand two weeks, we stayed in several places. PapaCrab was by far the best. Not just for the location, cleanliness and ambience, but for Charly and Koong. Their kindness, local tips, generosity and help made it memorable. More
