Cons:

Non ho soggiornato nella struttura pur avendo pagato intero importo .. struttura molto trascurata assolutamente il prezzo di 7000 baht al giorno non è adeguato sia per i servizi che per la camera che necessita assolutamente di manutenzione mobili vecchi odore di chiuso terrazza esterna inagibile causa scimmie

Wir haben verlängert
Pros:

Das liebenswerte Personal fällt mir als wichtigster Punkt ein.
Das Wahnsinns Frühstück nicht zu vergessen 🥳. A la Carte was man wünscht und Buffett mit Früchten und Thailändischen Sweets.
Die Betten schön weich. Nicht so bretthart wie sonst in Thailand.
Von allen Zimmern ein schöner Meerblick .

Cons:

Eigentlich gibt es nicht viel zu kritisieren.
Mir war es ein wenig zu laut. Der Strassenlärm ist gut zu hören und auch die Nachbarn wenn sie die halbe Nacht Stühle im Zimmer rumschieben . Oder die Türen knallen. Aber dafür kann das Hotel nichts .
Im Pool war zu viel Chlor. Einmal rein gehen reichte uns deshalb.

Paradise with amazing views
Pros:

Absolutely beatifull, calming and relaxing hotel with amazing staff.
My room and the whole place is so beautifull, spotlessly clean, calm and quiet.
Had the privilege suite and I’m almost speechless at beauty of the room and the view from it. Soaking on the jacuzzi, watching sunset and listening to the waves crashing on the shore was so relaxing and soothing my soul.
Really good wifi and the pool is lovely and one of a kind.
Breakfast the best, made by order. Ate all my meals at Red Alert restaurant and everything was so delicious.
And as a bonus, got to enjoy breakfast watching cute monkeys playing around.
This was unforgettable and just incredibly wonderful experience.
Thank You The Houben and all You lovely people here.
If possible, I would give 11/10 to this hotel. Highly recommended!

Adults only. Clean. Friendly staff. Pool and view

Fantastisch!
Pros:

Geweldig mooi verblijf met echt DROOM-bedden. Wat hebben we hier heerlijk geslapen met een prachtig uitzicht ook nog. Personeel super vriendelijk. De airco lekte in de badkamer boven het toilet, na melden kregen we een kamerupgrade met een nog mooier uitzicht en twee cocktails. Echt topservice. Ontbijt erg lekker. Ik zou hier zéker terugkomen!

Cons:

Er hing een gek geurtje in de badkamer, vermoedelijk vanuit de jacuzzi omdat deze niet vaak gebruikt wordt. Dus het stilstaande water gaat dan een beetje gek ruiken.

Pros:

I loved the location, its walkable to a lot of place close to kanting bay and the fact it's a boutique hotel. Feels almost private most of the time!
Great bed and the most amazing view!
The pool was super fun and happy hour is a must. The staff are incredibly helpful and welcoming. The hot tub is super nice as well.

Cons:

We didn't notice there's no toilet door haha. It took some time to adjust.

A small piece of paradise
Pros:

Staff are so lovely it feels like you are part of a family! They were so kind to us and especially to me on my birthday. Sunsets are incredible and we loved the boutiquey feel around the lovely pool. Fabulous breakfast. Extremely comfortable and spacious rooms. Highly recommend. Plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance.

Cons:

Nothing. Just be aware there are quite a few steps.

Amazing stay at the Houben!
Pros:

The staff, the view and the atmosphere - it was so serene! Fantastic location and in walking distance to the restaurants and beach (around a 5 minute walk). It’s so quiet, so if you’re looking for a getaway where you feel you’re very secluded, then this is a dream! The breakfast was the best we had whilst in Thailand. We will most definitely be back. Thank you to all of the staff for the most incredible stay, you’re all a credit to this place.

Cons:

I would say it’s on the pricy side

Super pied à terre pour passer les journée ailleurs sur les belles plages . Personnel au. Petits soins
Pros:

L emplacement , la propreté et la gentillesse du personnel

Cons:

Le bâtiment en lui même, béton, froid, peu de plantes sur les terrasses … la déco est froide, la partie piscine est sans attrait à part la vue . Béton au sol, piscine rouge très bizarre , gazon synthétique, … ça manque de chaleur
Pas du tout le style du pays
