Rin Bay View Resort

I slept well with the sound of the waves, and nights were very quiet. The beachside location is perfect, though there were a few insects and mosquitoes in my room even with the doors shut. It didn't bother me much, and insect spray kept most of them away. That's somewhat expected right by the beach. The room was clean and tidy, though it could use a few upgrades. The air con was brand new, but the shower had just one setting, with weak pressure and no choice between hot and cold. In the heat, I would have preferred cold water.

Great views and a handy base for checking out the beaches and Full Moon Party. Seven 11s, eateries, laundries and bike rental places are all within walking distance.

The room was spacious and very clean, though a little dated, and the staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. The hotel is on the beach, close to all the action. We didn't have much of a view for the first three nights, but changed rooms for our last night and got a sea view. We'd booked pretty late for New Year, so the price was steep.

The food was delicious, and having a restaurant right there was really convenient. The staff were so sweet and made my stay feel perfect. There's a lovely pool with a stunning sea view, and it's the best spot for sunset. I loved this place and will definitely come back.
