“A simple but adorable location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 3, 2013

Don't expect a four star hotel with all luxurious facilities. If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful environment you are definitely in the right place. Grate location with opportunities in overflow to visit the most lovely and not crowded beaches by boat. Just a few steps outside the hotel you are in a very small authentic village and the fisherman are bringing in the catch of the day. Lovely rooms and very friendly staff.

“Great, centrally located, very well managed hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013

We' ve staied recently three nights in this hotel. Size of the property enables a familiar athmosphere, which we greatly appreciated. The hotel manager is a great help in booking some trips, organising taxi service etc. The rooms are big, the suites have even a whirlpool. Pool and beach access provided. You have to be aware of the fishermens' village location: the beach here is not the nicest of the island, however you have great restaurants (with sea view) with fresh sea food, and good access to all other beaches (Bottle beach, Koh Ma etc.)
Greatly appreciated the wifi, which you have also in the rooms (not always the case on the island).
All in all: great velue for money. If you are not looking for an all-inclusive entertainment but are ready to explore the neighbourhood as well, this is the best choice.

Room Tip: Rooms with seaview are not loud though fishermens' boots marine are just accross. Rooms are lar...

“Open again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

Nice people in beautiful hotel situated on the fisherman village. Big beds in big rooms, in a quiet street. I guess I will go back for sure! They have friendly staff who always found solutions for all our inquiries. Nice job to the new owners, you make something good!

“Hotel is closed”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed April 21, 2012 via mobile

Just writing to warn people the hotel is closed. We went past the hotel late April and it nas a for sale sign on it 50-60 million baht I think is the asking price. It is a great location right on the beachfront of a beautiful fishing village. hopefully someone will buy it and do the necessary repairs.
