The bamboo huts, common area and restaurant were really nice. It was clean, close to the beach and the food was good. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. A really nice option if you want to stay on sunrise beach.

Pay extra go elsewhere.

Posted 22 Dec 2023 on Hotels
Was expecting basic and it was very basic. Loads of mosquitoes - take lots of repellent. Had a few visitors (cocktoaches) which we were expecting from previous reviews - it was a bamboo hut in the jungle afterall - it meant we never fully relaxed. Mosquito nets did their jobs at night and fans worked. Hut was very dark and one of the sets if lights didnt work. Bedding didnt feel particularly clean -bottom sheet had rips in. Breakfast at resort was a pricey option of toast or cereal with yoghurt. Sunrise Beach was beautiful and resort next door was lovely for breakfast / lunch. Could snorkell off the beach

we booked accommodation for 3 nights because it was the cheapest on the island. unfortunately, it is located quite far from the events in the city. there are really a LOT of mosquitoes 1 cm in size, if not bigger. The resort is located near a construction site and a gypsy village, which is not pleasant to walk through at night.

Large bamboo bungalow

Posted 4 May 2019 on Hotels
The resort is nice. Not to far to the main walking street. The only down side is the music being played from the local village late into the night. Overall a good experience.

Bamboo Bungalow

Posted 30 Mar 2018 on Hotels
For a basic bamboo family bungalow within walking distance to the beach this was perfect.

Cute place

Posted 8 Mar 2018 on Hotels
I like the bamboo bungalows they are cute for a beach stay where scuba is the main attraction. No enough towels on resort to change every day you may want to bring your own. As expected a lot of mosquitos - but the beds are well netted so you will sleep well with fan. But bring mosquito deet spray 90% and up!

Dear Pichet, Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to know that you enjoyed your stay with us, found our place cute and slept well. Because we are in a small island, clear water is rare so we change towels on demand and can be everyday if needed and asked morning time. We hope to see you again. Regards,

Great value and location

Posted 3 Feb 2018 on Hotels
Had a fantastic stay at Forra Dive (Sunrise beach) - came for 3 nights and stayed for 6. Great location 1 minute walk from beach. Huts clean and good mosquitoe net - love outdoor bathroom. Others have commented re mosquitos (it'a Thailand!) worse between 530-730pm cover up/use bug cream. There is music most nights from the local village but it never bothered us.....and seemed to go off by 11ish. Overall great location, friendly hosts and great value for money.

Worst Hotel

Posted 22 Nov 2017 on Ebookers
I honestly believe this was the worst place I have stayed in during with 5 months of backpacking around South East Asia. The noise was so bad we had to get sleeping tablets from the pharmacy to be able to sleep. From 6am untill midnight the village which is just behind the huts blasts out dance hits and an unbelievably loud volume. We followed the source of the noise thinking it would lead to a club and it genuinely just led to a small hut with very large speakers. When it rains it is extremely difficult to get to the huts. It becomes a dirt track and we had to wade through the water several times. The hotel is basic which for us was okay. You get what you expect. We did have frogs and bugs come through the bamboo which was a pain but not unexpected. The showers are out in the open so you do sometimes catch a glimpse of someone bathing too. The resort will not provide you with toilet paper. We asked for it and they said no. When we asked where we could buy it they said they would rather we didnt because "European people cant remember not to put it in the toilet". I thought this was incredibly rude and insulting. When you do want to talk to someone about issues you are met with a lot of people smoking weed and eveyone having a say on what your problem is - its not even clear who works there and who is just there to get stoned. Overally I would avoid this place at all costs. The noise is so bad that it really wrecked our whole experience on Koh Lanta.

Dear customer, Thank you for your very bad review, I do not understand why you did not tell me that when you was here. As well, as I'm doing breastfeeding for my baby at the moment, I do not smoke anything and you knew that I was working here because you came to me when you need anything. Regarding toilet paper, this is true that we do not provide it, as our reflex as western people, we trow it into the toilet, which make them block, it happened already many times. The local people around like play music a lot, we send them the police and will continue to do it until they stop but it can take some time. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your travel, but I recommend you to be more honest next time for a better service corresponding to your real expectations.

Convenient location, ok bungalows.

Posted 23 Jul 2017 on Hotels
The bungalow was good comfortable and clean stay. On our arrival we found a cat under the bed, which didn't bother us too much, but he and onether cat kept returning. Other than that it was very clean. The bed had a mosquito net around it at all times. There was a fan fitted in the room, however it didn't work too much and the room got very hot, especially in the net. The bathroom is located outside the back of the bungalow. The toilet and sink are under a shelter but the shower is open. The location is very good. The reception is on Sunrise beach and the bungalows are just behind, less than a 2 minute walk. Walking street, shops and restaurants are all very close.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to know that you liked our location, the open-air bathroom and found the bungalow clean and comfortable. We are sorry for the cats, we need them to keep away the other animals... Best regards,
