Schönes Hotel aber leider mit Ungeziefern
Pros:

- Sehr gute Lage im Ort
- sehr nettes Personal
- super Frühstück
- alles ist fussläufig oder kurz mit dem Tuk Tuk zu erreichen

Cons:

- kein Pool aber wusste ich ja vorher
- leider gab es in unserem Zimmer viele Kakerlaken. Sie kamen nachts im Bad vermutlich durch die Feuchtigkeit nach dem Duschen heraus. Ich vermute aus dem Waschbecken Abfluss, denn nachdem ich den immer zu gemacht habe kamen weniger. Aber es waren immer 2-4 große Kakerlaken bei Dunkelheit im Bad. War ziemlich eklig.
Tut mir auch leid für das Hotel, denn es war eigentlich echt schön aber mit den den vielen Kakerlaken würde ich nicht noch mal hier hin.

- Ich war schon in einigen Läden in Südostasien und ich weiß dass es immer mal Viecher im Zimmer gibt. Aber so viel Kakerlaken hatte ich noch nie …

- wenn die das Problem mit den Ungeziefern in Griff bekommen würden, würde ich 9,5 (wegen Pool) geben.

Pros:

Sehr gepflegte und wunderschöne Anlage. Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Schönes Zimmer. Super Frühstück. Zentral aber ruhig. Eine kleine Oase.

Cons:

Nichts. Nur einen Wasserkocher für Tee hätten wir uns gewünscht.

Wonderful hotel, perfect location and very friendly staff!
Pros:

We stayed mid January 2026 at this hotel! We had a wonderful stay! It’s really a great location, very close distance to the beach! It is a quiet location as well!
The staff was very friendly. The room was spacious and wonderful! On top of that, there were places at the hotel were you could just sit and read or play a board game.

An oasis where comfort and relaxation are the hotel’s priority
Pros:

We liked the location of the property which was excellent- set within a lush garden, away from the bustle of the beach road but still within easy reach of the beach, shops and restaurants. The room had everything we needed including a wardrobe, fridge and even 2 blankets. The hotel was very clean, beautifully decorated, with several areas set aside for guests relaxation. The breakfast was good but best of all were the staff who were very friendly, helpful and made our stay memorable. Would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

The towels in the room which were too rough but we understand this is due to drying naturally.

Fantastiskt litet hotell där vi kände oss hemma
Pros:

Rent, snyggt och fridfullt. Härliga soffgrupper där vi kunde samlas och umgås. Mycket trevlig och tillmötesgående personal. Lugnt men ändå tillräckligt nära stranden. Vacker trädgård
