    Excellent stay with my family. We had 3 rooms next to each other and they were so beautiful. Bathrooms are exceptional with so many ,lovely details. The beds were comfy and the rooms were tastefully decorated. The balconies were gorgeous with lovely trees giving lots of shade. we stayed a row back from the beach but this was actually way more private. We will be back. Breakfast was a buffet style and really varied and healthy. The Reef bar was great and had such a good menu with thai/ western options at a good price point.

    We loved this place. Good location in town. Clean, very comfortable and well designed. The rooms we had were mosquito proof and the managers were keen to tell us how to keep it that way 👍 no need for a net = great nights sleep (this is very unusual) Plenty of clean beach towels provided 👍 Dimmable lighting (again, very unusual)

    We liked everything of this cozy place, very clean rooms, nice new design, comfortable beds. Friendly and kind staff. Good coffee at their own coffeeshop. Sundbeds provided on the beach, but no towels, a pity :-/
