The host Lek and his family are the perfect hosts; you feel right at home. The rooms are simple but offer great value for money. Compared to previous years, the beds are much better because he bought new mattresses. The location is ideal, right on the beach. Highly recommend.

A super nice little resort right on the beach. Lek and his whole family are exceptionally friendly and fantastic hosts. You feel like you’re staying with friends.

“With that all said, the beachfront location is fantastic, making Mr. Lek’s an unforgettable stay for travellers who appr”

So, it’s been quite the adventure at Mr. Lek’s! The room definitely has “character,” with shifted foundations creating an impressive collection of cracks and a broken mirror—perfect if you’re not quite ready to face yourself in the morning. The staff were polite and mostly reserved, understandable as for the most part English isn’t well understood. They are lovely, Tan and Wan and the whole team try hard, it’s a family affair. On arrival, I embraced my inner handyman: cleaning a decades‑clogged air‑conditioning filter, unblocking the sink, and—with the help of a resourceful young male staff member (sorry I can’t remember his name:()) clearing the shower drain. A gentle tip for future guests: washing your feet outside might save everyone a plumbing adventure. Cleaning between guests appears minimal; the shower wall would make a Petri dish blush, and I can confirm the bathroom window is also rusted in a semi‑open state, letting the local wildlife free access:). All the doors are on the tilt because of the foundations but it is workable and with a bit of grunt you can lock it:) Breakfast was included in the 8000 baht cost for four nights, featuring tiny, soggy “French toast” and spam‑style bacon, with coffee costing extra! (A bit rich considering the work I did to make the room livable when I arrived). You owe me a beer, Mr. Lek! That is unforgivable as fresh produce is freely available just up the road at local suppliers. Trying to save money by offering well‑traveled foreigners food of an extremely sub‑standard quality is just madness, and a real missed opportunity.

The location and the food are good. The room was dirty, the shower didn’t work, the housekeeping was interrupted and the restaurant was closed twice without warning. I had to cancel my reservation and then pay for the same reservation, which incurred fees and little support from booking. The owner made it clear that he would not accept payment through you. I had to accept those conditions.

The room is great with a private balcony, the staff are friendly and helpful. The owner Mr. Lek is epic! The location on the beach is perfect and the food is great, especially the prawns with garlic pepper.
