The bungalow that we were assigned to (5) was the furthest away from the reception and the beach but that was a blessing of sorts because the ”beachfront” bungalows no longer have a beach view due to the Rim Lay cafe and bar (beautiful bamboo building) is built directly in front of them.
Our room had a lot of gecko droppings on that we had housekeeping come to clean up. The geckos get inside the room via the cable trunking for the satellite TV, I think.
The room itself was super cute and newly renovated. Bed was soft and comfy. TV was a smart tv and HUGE! Housekeeping replaced all minibar items daily.
Breakfast had to be pre-ordered the day before (not sure if it's a low season thing). For me, the jok or rice porridge with pork was fine but I wouldn't want to eat it more than 2 times in a row. The biryani and the fried chicken with sticky rice options were not appetizing, unfortunately.
Do note there are 3 bars around the resort. The Rim Lay is the newest and not yet open for business. When it does, I believe in high season this place will become packed with drinkers (hopefully of the mellow kind, but who knows). Right now in low season (July) there was hardly anybody around the bars were mostly quiet and deserted.
I had a comfortable and pleasant stay at this homestay. The place was clean, well-kept, and had all the basic amenities I needed. It’s a great option for travelers on a budget.
The housekeepe is nice and helpful.
Overall, a great value for the price. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others looking for an affordable and cozy place to stay.
I arrived at a neighbouring hotel to a rude greeting and rejection, refunded it.
Then arrived at this hotel. It's a bungalow on a beach and not bad. Good WiFi, nice warm welcome.
Breakfast could be better but overall. Nice people.
Would stay again if it were €20 or less
