Took moped out for day...hired from lady across the road who also sorted out our laundry for us. Really easy to drive around tbe island....little traffic.
Beaches super quiet...just a gorgeous relaxing island.

Great time

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

Meget dejligt og roligt sted.. personalet er så gæstfri og søde..

Cons:

Drinkens var i den høje ende ang pris og det skyldes nok at byen den lå i ikke virkede som om der var andre steder og få drinks..
