We arrived with hopes of a lovely week long stay here after reading all the reviews on here, however we were completely let down within minutes of arriving. The location itself is lovely, it is on the beach and the sea is beautiful, but unfortunately that's the only good aspect of this place.
The bungalow we stayed in was situated right next to the main road in/out, this wouldn't have been too bad but next to the road was the main bar/restaurant area which got pretty loud at night. Due to the bungalow walls being so thin we could hear everything, meaning we couldn't sleep properly at night and were woken up early in the morning. As well as this, it seemed that underneath the bungalow was an area where boats were stored- being woken up early in the morning to find someone shouting and pulling a boat out from underneath you isn't exactly peaceful.
The bungalows themselves can't really be classed as bungalows, they're simply a room with a bed and a room with a toilet/shower/basin. The bedding had stains on and the room was quite grubby. The shower wasn't in a cubicle, not unusual for Thailand, however the drain was tiny and on the opposite side of the room, so even after a two minute shower the entire bathroom was flooded. You are unable to flush toilet paper down the toilet, instead having to put it in an open top bin- the amount of bugs this attracts is disgusting, they crawl everywhere and it's just horrible. The bins should come with lids, or should at least be emptied more often.
The bungalow doesn't have a door, simply a large sliding glass window. This means the entire front of the bungalow is see-through and so anyone can stare in- due to the location of our bungalow, people were constantly walking past and thus we had to have the curtains constantly shut, not what you want when you rent a beach bungalow expecting to be able to look out at the view.
The beach has chairs and loungers on which were broken in places making it uncomfortable to sit on them properly. I found shattered glass on the beach which is so dangerous especially with small children around. The beach was also completely littered with cigarette ends.
The staff were relatively unhelpful, we asked at reception as to how to get a taxi into the local town, and the lady behind the desk simply pointed behind her and said get a bus. When I asked how often the bus came I was informed 'just wait for it'. The waiters in the restaurant seemed bored and couldn't really be bothered to do anything more than take your order/deliver your food without saying more than two or three words. The food itself was pretty basic, bland, and for what it was, very overpriced, especially in comparison to the other food available in Thailand which is normally delicious!
The bottles of water sold here are also overpriced, I'd recommend going to the local seven-eleven and stocking up where it's much cheaper!
You also have to pay for the wifi here.
Needless to say we only stayed two nights (as little as we could) before moving to other accommodation we had managed to find.
