The service, rooms, and the personalities of the staff and owner were very cute; the pool had a jacuzzi, making it convenient and comfortable, and it’s close to Nuan beach and the island of Koh Larn with its sweet river. I really enjoyed this holiday. The booking through Booking didn’t include a free motorcycle, and the booking service should have used brackets to inform customers, but it can be forgiven for other reasons.

The price-to-quality ratio was overblown, and the breakfasts were very bland with very few options.

Breakfast was a disaster.

They pick you up from the port, either on a motorcycle or a car depending on how many people you are. The pool area is pretty cool and has a hippie vibe with all the sea‑related décor. I stayed in a room that had a direct view of the pool. The AC was surprisingly strong. There’s a small fridge in the room that’s handy. I appreciate that they provide many scooters, and you get one per room for free if you book via Facebook. A few tips: be careful when it’s windy, because it’s hard to reach the island on rough seas and the speedboat won’t even depart if it’s windy. Pack your luggage well; it can get wet from big waves when it’s windy. Bring a hoodie because the temperature can drop on windy mornings. Arriving can be dangerous if it’s windy. The place is quite far from the port, but a scooter makes it easy to get there. The rooms could use some renovation and investment; they’re still not the best. They’re also quite small, with no space for luggage and no wardrobe, just a few hangers. The entrance doors are sliding and seem weak, and they don’t isolate noise well, so if you’re unlucky with a noisy neighbor, good luck sleeping. There’s no safety box. The bathroom needs a lot of renovation; many things are missing on the walls, like a hanger for toilet paper. It also needs a shower curtain; all the water splashes onto the floor and goes under the wooden door, which will need replacing soon if you leave it like that. My parents asked a staff member to take them to a specific beach, but he took them to the main market and told them to take a tuk‑tuk, and he charged them money—language barrier or scam? I don’t know. Breakfast is very weak in choice; there are only a few eggs, ham, jam, and Nescafé coffee. It looks nice in the photo but not in reality, which is the case with most properties on this island. I recommend going somewhere else for breakfast. ATTENTION: I got gastroenteritis on this island, probably from a seafood restaurant, so be careful where you eat! I also saw some restaurants that don’t have the cleanest kitchens.
