A bit hard to access from the main road, easy enough to find on the beach, just walk towards the rocks and look for the white umbrellas. The first thing you notice is the friendly ambiance, it's strange but in a way it's very charming and cozy and you feel welcome right away. The food is okay, nothing spectacular but... More

What a terrible owner! That man is too disgusting for words! He's a monkey chained behind his beach place, he makes daily a walk along the beach with the poor animal, at the end he throws the little monkey into the sea. The animal is completely submerged. When I pointed out to him that what he does is not acceptable,... More

Absolutely loved their coffee, smoothies and lunch! Lovely salads, club sandwiches and other western food is you are in the mood for a change! The sun beds are comfortable and they have a few beds under suntents which is great when you have young kids who need a bit of shade:) Lovely Thai/French owners.

Made to feel very welcome by the staff here. Came for lunch. Sat at a table on the sand, the food was fresh and the place had a nice, relaxed vibe. I opted for Thai, my partner a club sandwich w/ fries & salad. It's a lovely spot, close to those incredible rock formations (Hin Ta & Hin Yai) popping... More
