Amazing experience!
I came for a weekend for the Oceanman race and I am really happy I stayed at this hotel.
1. It’s close to the official race hotel (you need to walk only 3 mins - that is the good advantage as the race starts early morning)
2. It’s located on the beach so you may have all the advantages of waking up and having the sea view right from your bed.
3. The restaurant Ananas is a good one and they serve really good Thai (and not only Thai) food.
4. The lady (I suppose she is owner) speaks perfect English and is really helpful. The manager at the restaurant- Saki is a person of an amazing hospitality !
5. The villa itself is a bamboo hut. With air cond and all the advantages of being close to the nature. I liked the idea itself. As for mosquitoes- you will have them everywhere in Asia, just have a repellent.
6. This is a noisy place - all the living creatures are around. But this is also typical for Asia. You may stay at a luxurious hotel but have a rooster shouting on the yard right next to your hotel. You can hear all your neighbors as well - if you and they are spending time in the room.
7. There is a really good masseuse 100 m from the hotel and they can help you with the reservation.
8. The beach line is really long and is good for running/walking as the sand surface is quite firm.
The only thing to mention -I was solo traveler, and didn’t pay too much attention to the noise. It didn’t disturb me really.
