We staid here twice in a bungalow,  once right at the beach and once on the hill in a lovely flowergarden with few at the sea (250 and 500 Bath) . With fan/ aico, towels, hamock, real hotel-matresses on the beds and really really clean (with Dethol!). Super friendly family runs the place, a bit shy with their english language, but ever so helpfull to fulfill all our whises. Food is good; we loved the Thai soup as well as the pizza’s (best in Thailand), We could rent snorkels here, as wel as bikes. (Scooters). And there is a lot to explore in the surrounding area by foot. Next time we will defenately stay here again.

Paradise on earth

I like the stay in this resort. It was beautiful with mini rooms and the prices seem perfectly reasonable. The view was perfect of the seashores and the island. It would be great if the receptionist be little jolly and happy rather than grumpy or skulking. Over all  great good place.

Enjoyed

If you want to experience a little bit of a what Thailand was like before all the package tourists arrived, then this is the place to come. Old Style wooden beach bungalows, chickens and their little chicks pecking around, and a couple of clean friendly dogs coming to sit on your verandah with you.  The bungalows face directly onto a quiet little beach, (which is just around the bay from the main MaeHaad beach), and there is a great little reggae beach bar to watch the sunset from, called Judah Sunset Beach Bar.
I will definitely be returning here



Back to Basics

Positives:
Location, Amazing sunset, friendly bar staff, comfy bed, good air conditioning in the room.

Negatives:
Toilet in the room was dirty, shower was only sometimes hot. The receptionist was extremely rude, didn't acknowledge we had spoken, barley spoke and  looked miserable.
I had an allergic reaction at the hotel restaurant (I have a fish and seafood allergy) even after giving the waitress an allergy card written in Thai, verbally told her about it, said no fish or oyster suace, checked she understood and asked her to also tell the chef. When the food come out, I check again that it was safe. After 2 mouthfuls I reacted. The staff couldn't care less, shrugged their shoulders, and walked away. I had red swollen lips and said I couldn't eat the food, but they still insisted on making me pay for it. I later found out the chef didn't know about my allergy and put oyster sauce in my food.
I was lucky my reaction was fairly mild but would NOT recommend eating at this restaurant if you have any sort of food allergy, as they will not take it seriously.
Prior to this I spent a week in India and 3 weeks in the rest of Thailand, eating out 3-4 times a day every day (eating pretty much the same meals for safety) , and have not had one single problem. This reaction was due  the uncaring staff at the this hotel and restaurant.

To cheer up this moany review I have attached a picture of the sunset. 

Zero care for allergy and incredibly rude receptionist 

Expensive for how cheap and run down everything is, Dirty, and needs alot of fixing up.
Blood stains on the pillow cases.
Mothballs, which have a nasty smell, all over bathroom.
When we arrived there were so many ants in the washroom, it seemed like a whole colony.
The flooring started lifting up making the main door unusable as the flooring would jam under it.
The bathroom door hits the bathroom ceiling.
The shower hardly works, is only cold, and is right above the toilet.
The ceilings are about 6 feet high, so terrible if you are that tall or taller.
Only 1 power plug up high , with nowhere to put what you have plugged in unless attached to a long cord that reaches the floor.
Innatentive staff that are hard to get help from.
Everything else they offer is extremely over priced. EG. 80 baht for a smoothie, 15 baht to use the public toilet.
Only 1 chair in 2 person room.

The only positive to this place is the proximity to the beach.
I would only recommend this place for a 1 night quick stay if you need somewhere and can't find anywhere else.
