Hotel is nice enough, located at the end of a road with private little houses set in a tropical forest. No TV in the room. I asked reception: no TV in this hotel. Free wifi, but it stops at 22.00 hours at night. Lots of staff around, but they don't do much. We think the hotel lacks a manager, and if there is one: what is he doing? The pool is not big, but it is nice. It was off-season, we wondered what happens when the hotel is full ? Then the pool is really too small and there are not enough loungers around to accommodate the guests. Unfortunately there was a lot of sand on the bottom of the pool. People bring it in when they come from the beach and take a swim in the pool. PLEASE clean the pool every day. It is a must. The whole feel of the hotel is that it is falling apart. Renovation is needed and a more attentive general manager could make all the difference. Negative point are the many (fishing) boats in the sea not far from the hotel. They sometimes keep their engines running for hours. We think the fisherman live on these boats and every morning (or night) they dump their carbage in the sea, including their turds and other rubbish. It all came floating to the hotel's beach!!!! We did not swim in the sea anymore after...Hotel is nice enough, located at the end of a road with private little houses set in a tropical forest. No TV in the room.

You can easily order a taxi and ask him to bring you to the village (I think it was 150 Baht). Lots of shops, pharmacy, massage, etc. Walk till the end of the villagestreet and you will come to the National Park, the entry. It is a big name for not much, just keep on walking. There is really no need to pay the entrance fee. Keep walking, some more shops, then the beach with lots and lots of nice restaurants. A bit of a tourist trap, but still a very good place to have a drink or have something to eat. Very enjoyable.

Next time I think we would like to try another hotel.More
