Great location, friendly staff, awesome price.
Pros:

I loved the room & the bed, big balcony, tiered room, raised platform bed & step down into a little seating area w a couch made it seem more like an apartment than hotel. It was small but cozy. Bed was excellent. Clean, close to beach & very quiet. Restaurant was really good & staff was really nice, helpful & friendly!

Cons:

The wifi was constantly interrupted. I was entering username & password every time I touched my phone - which I guess considering the location (middle of the ocean) might be expected?

Perfect place to relax and base yourself on the island. It offers everything you need from breakfast, kayak/sup rent
Pros:

We were welcomed with a complimentary welcome drink and friendly helpful staff. Rooms were cleaned each day if requested. You were also left with fresh towels regardless.

It was my partners birthday and the staff offered to decorate the room with some of the local flowers which I thought was a lovely and caring response. She greatly appreciated it.

Pros:

Das Personal war sehr nett und das Frühstücksangebot war sehr gut.

Cons:

Das Meer direkt vor dem Hotel ist voller Steine,, hohe Verletzungsgefahr.
Aber ca. 500 Meter weiter bei den drei Strandbars kann man ohne Probleme ins Wasser gehen.
Laut Aussage eines einheimischen der beste Strandabschnitt auf Koh mak.
Schlechtes WiFi bricht immer wieder ab.

ondanks de gedateerde faciliteiten genoten we wel van ons verblijf, vooral omwille van de locatie
Pros:

de locatie was ongezien prachtig en we hadden een huisje met zicht op zee, dus dat was echt heerlijk.
Ook de plek waar je kunt ontbijten is fantastisch, naast de pier en het strand

Cons:

de kamers/faciliteiten/infrastructuur is heel erg gedateerd en op het randje van versleten
de lakens waren niet van katoen, maar een synthetisch materiaal dus dat is echt niet ideaal in zo'n warm en vochtig klimaat

Passable.
Pros:

L’hôtel se situe sur la route principale avec les restaurants sympathiques et proche des jolies plages. Ils proposent la location de scooter à 200bath la journée. Proposent également un transfert en voiture à 20 bath / personne entre le port et l’hotel.

Cons:

Dès notre arrivée, nous avons vu que les draps et la couette étaient plein de tache jaunâtre… nous avons demandé de les faire changer, mais idem, d’autre taches ! La texture des draps sont étranges, font transpirer. Il n’y a pas de serviettes pour les mains / visage. La salle de bain devrait être rénovée de A à Z ! L’eau du robinet sort de tout les côtés, les tuyauteries sont toutes rouillées, l’eau sur le sol de la douche ne s’écoule pas bien et reste sur le sol de la douche. Il n’y a pas d’étendoir dehors pour les serviettes de plage et vêtements… Le petit déjeuner et le café est sans intérêt. La WI-FI ne fonctionne
pas bien et se coupe très régulièrement et la 5G n’est pas captée dans la chambre.
