We stayed for two nights, and our room had what seemed like hundreds of flying bugs on the first night. It made relaxing impossible. I also had a toe injury that left a few small marks on the bedsheet. They didn't wash the sheets before we slept in them again, then asked us for 800 baht for cleaning. These were small, ordinary stains that should come out in a normal wash. When we explained that to the owner, she yelled at us. The customer service was awful, and I wouldn't choose this place for a relaxing beach trip.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful four-night stay at this quiet, quaint little place. The staff were kind and glad to help, including when he stepped on a sea urchin. Breakfast was tasty and a good start to the day, and they rent mopeds at a great price. We rented one for a day and saw most of the island. The location is really convenient: about 300m from the nearest beach and a 10-15 minute walk from the centre, with plenty of restaurants in every direction. For the money, you really can't go wrong.

The staff were especially accommodating during our great three-night stay, and we got a free ride back to the pier when we checked out. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Renting a room also gets you a free motorcycle for rent. There are little tables outside each room looking onto the inner courtyard, where the lobby and shared area are too. It's a cute little hotel.

It's a quiet resort with thoughtful design, though there's no swimming pool. The pier shuttle worked very well, even though nobody replied to my email. Booking through Booking didn't include the moped in the room price. The included American breakfast was generous but tasteless and needs work. There was no knife, so we had to cut the sausage with a spoon, and there was no orange juice or butter. The many warning signs around the room and resort felt intimidating. Check out after 11:30 a.m. costs 200 Bath per hour, and outside food isn't allowed, with a 2000 Bath fine. We paid 1200 Bath a night plus 300 Bath for a motorbike. At that room rate, other resorts in the area offer better service.
