Suksaiburi-resort

Really bad experience renting a motorbike. Check the fuel gauge carefully: it showed only 3 bars, but I was asked to return it full. Luckily, I checked and corrected this. Ask them to fill it up before you return it, since it's hard to judge the right amount otherwise. Also inspect everything. The strap on one helmet was broken when I rented it, but I didn't check the second helmet. When I came back the next morning, she said I'd damaged it myself. OMG!

The people running the place were amazing, really kind, and ready to help. It might be a family business. But my room was a problem: water leaked from the AC and kept the curtains and floor wet, and the dripping stopped me sleeping. There was no safe or hairdryer, and the WiFi was very slow and cut out many times an hour. When I mentioned the AC, they told me to set it to 24-25, but that didn't fix it. With the rooms sorted out, I'd give it four stars for the great service.

With breakfast included, this was good value for money and I'd fully recommend it. It's a small resort with about 18 spacious rooms and a restaurant, and the temple view is nice. The beach is a 30-40 minute walk. Rooms are new, with double beds, TVs, working AC, and really nice bathrooms, at least in the three our group rented. There's no fridge. 4.5/5.

It's very noisy because it's right beside a gas station.
