A perfectly delightful spot with NOTHING to criticise. Charming place, delightful Italian owner Antonio, lovely pool for proper swimming. Excellent staff - we would single out Karole for being helpful, friendly, funny and generally wonderful. Frank was also great. Ok it’s not right ON the beach but it’s not far and they will provide a tuktuk to take you there if you want. We didn’t because we’d already been there and we just wanted to relax around the pool. Nothing to fault and it would be my...

This hotel is beautiful. I cannot express how lovely our time was here. The room was a great size with plenty of space a storage, and we had a balcony from which we could watch monkeys play in the trees. The aircon was a godsend! The hotel is set up as about 10-15 villas rather than as one large complex. This creates a much more boutique and homey feeling. There are many areas to enjoy in the hotel, including the gorgeous private beach. The food was exceptional, and despite being all inclusive,...

8/10 Very good

Internet a bit spotty in rooms (great in reception). Beautiful hotel, clean, comfy bed - but location is sketchy as hell. Straight on the street and (as a white male) I got a lot of scary looks. Right next to the bus station so there is a lot of noise all through the night with horns blaring constantly. A shame because the hotel itself (and the staff) are lovely. Breakfast was also quite tasty in the restaurant next door (Soy).
