Lovely Views!

very nice view baggage elevator comfy bed

The view from the room was very nice! i also really appreciated the baggage elevator. It saved us a ton of effort going up all those stairs. the staff were friendly and helpful, especially with our luggage. the room itself was nice with a big, comfy bed!

The climb up to the rooms was a challenge. I definitely didn't want to go up and down those stairs regularly.

Dining

I found the nearby restaurants convenient and easy to reach. They were only a short walk away. several offered beachfront seating with a wide variety of thai dishes. prices are very reasonable across most locations too!

Location

the location provides amazing views from the hilltop, however it's something to consider. the hotel is at the top end of the east beach and it is wonderfully peaceful. the place is quiet because is far from the noise.

Service

The staff provided a cheap laundry service that was very helpful. check-in happens at a tourism office near the beach. It is convenient. the staff helped us with the bags, which i appreciated a lot!!!

Wonderful Room and Helpful Staff

helpful staff luggage cart comfortable bed

The staff was very helpful, and a small cart transported our bags up all the stairs, so we did not have to carry them. The room was very nice. It was like staying in a hotel. The bed was big and comfy. we had a sofa in the room too.

There were many steps to climb to reach the top of the hill.

The bungalow were quite beautiful. Its location on a scenic hilltop impressed me. The mountain view I booked was quite fine. The staff assisted me in a friendly manner.

The bathroom received no cleaning . The refrigerator did not operate. I consider this unacceptable.
