Gorgeous property, great views, and lovely staff. The mud hut was a very unique experience and something we wouldn't find in Canada. The food was delicious and the singer was an added bonus! The only regret I have, is not staying here longer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to go back some day! I

Beautiful little hut right on the beach with own terrace and hammock. Super comfy bed, immaculately clean and even had your own drip coffee kit in the room! Staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really nice also. Only fault I could find was that you couldn’t lock the door from the inside so doesn’t feel super safe and might and the door and window were a bit gappy so a funny little millipede thing got into the room.

I highly recommend this property. It is a series of detached bungalows with a common area restaurant and pool area. Breakfast and food options are very good and delicious. Right in the north west coast of Samui with wonderful sunset views. I would like to stay here again.

The hut and bathroom were spacious. The hut comes with it's own seating area and hammock, mosquito net and air conditioning. There is a pool, but there are steps to the ocean directly as well. The food in the restaurant is delicious and the options for breakfast are quite varied. As the huts are set against the side of a hill part of the main path is a bit steep. I have read comments about roosters, and I have seen them on the premise, but I never heard them when I was inside my hut or sat in front of it.

I wanted to have a Thai experience. This one is quirky and rustic. Very nice room by the beach. The staff was amazing! Always there to help you with whatever you need. Great breakfast and food. They have a great variety on the menu. A taxi will be needed if you need to get out shopping.

We stayed here one night because we were taking a ferry from nearby pier. It was perfect for this. Pool is cute and refreshing. Beach not really useable for sunbathing or swimming but excellent for strolling and exploring. Water is shallow very far out. Restaurant food is good. Rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable. The area lacks much in walking distance. Not a lot of grocery stalls or restaurants but it is a fishing cove not a beach resort area so that’s to be expected. Fun to visit. It’s quiet and reserved on this side of island.

Interesting, but not for the sea and beach

We had beachfront villa and it was clean and nice, the view is not so amazing, if you want to entry in the sea this place is not for it, because of the re-flux / flux here doesn't exist a beach. Also because very close to the house is the pool sometimes is not so quiet. When I reserved the prices was ok because was 50 % discount. I think that is the correct price. At the new prices I think you can find something with beach and sea. The WIFI wasn't worked very well. It is a little to far from everything. You can use only taxi.
