Brilliant staff and facilities! would not stay anywhere else when i go back to Thailand! The one of the owners of the hotel was usually around and would give brilliant advise on where to go and what to see on the island. The entertainment was really fun couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!

Though our stay was short in this property. We loved every bit of the stay. Right on the Lamai Beach, gives you a great view of the beach. Lamai beach is much quieter beach hence do not expect lot of activity. Good shallow beach and great place to spend full day in the beach. Rooms are clean and mammoth. AC... More

Great stay once again. The rooms have been updated and look much better than before. The cleaning staff and reception were friendly and helped us book our tour to Koh Tao. It is a great place to stay especially if you are on a budget and the location is perfect right near the beach.

I wanted to give the staff here a 1 for service due to the rudeness, lack of manners and the fact they were more concerned with finishing their conversation to their friend while scoffing ice cream than dealing with guests. However balmy friend left her bag with everything in it on out minibus taxi and the staff went above and... More

Rooms are very nice and decent price aswel. But we did notice the amount of ants that were in our room was crazy. We don't mind a few insects here and there but this was terrible. Apart from that it was a good place to stay and location is good for the area.
