Amazing
CCCB TravelsWe had an amazing stay! The camp was brand new and very clean. The beach sand was so soft! We want to thank Joey, the wonderful and attentive Camp Cayla staff who made our stay great. As soon as we arrived he arranged everything according to what we liked. He asked us if we wanted to rent a scooter which we choose to do and he organised everything! In the middle of the night we didn’t know how to turn the aircon off (we were holding it too far away) and he was at our door within a few minutes and showed us how to turn it off. He was always on-site and took care of us well! The room was very clean, comfortable and cosy. There were some small ants but that’s expected. We had insect spray so it was fine.
Negatives: The property is not fenced so there lots of dogs that come very close, this maybe an issue for people that have a fear of dogs or if there’s small children playing around. The bar/ restaurant/ reception area is not ready yet, there is no where to buy food close by.
GGuest UserMae Pim is so so lovely..a true Thao beach village..with everything. 1 hour from ban phe..totally worth staying 4 days.Chicken house has big rooms, aie con, super clean, can rent a motor bike to go have fun..this is Thai culture..fresh beachside cafes..fresh seafood and night markets up in Klaeng 20 minutes away
Chicken house is 10 minutes away from the beach by motorbike and very quiet. The family that runs it is very foreigner friendly and helpful.
XXiaoyezi::To be honest, it exceeded our expectations. We thought it would be a very old hotel, but it was actually decent. The Thai style itself has an aged look. The breakfast wasn't much worse than the Marriott next door either. What truly deserves praise is that there was absolutely no price hike on the weekend! The only downsides were that the hotel's hygiene was a bit subpar, with some hair in the bathroom. The overall lighting in the room was very dim, making it feel a bit stuffy on a cloudy day. Also, there were dried rice grains stuck to the breakfast plates and hair on the dining table. The service was alright, though. Sometimes this hotel has tour groups, but if there aren't any, it's very quiet.
AAndy CageThis is my go to hotel when I'm in this area of Thailand. The location is perfect for the beach and all amenities and close to lots of fabulous restaurants. The staff have always been kind and friendly and answer any questions you may have. The rooms are spacious, clean and of a high standard.
I will definitely be staying there again when I am in the area.
GGuest UserIdeal location overlooking the beautiful beach, and most rooms overlook the Large swimming pool ours included. Rooms are spacious with large balcony. Can’t fault anything really other than the bar staff always seemed a bit miserable and never seem to smile or interact with customers. We didn’t try the breakfast so no idea if any good. It finished at 10am and we don’t like to feel rushed getting up for breakfast, rather have coffee in room then take a leisurely breakfast at one of the local cafes or restaurants close by! It was also nice having a little fridge in the room for milk and cold drinks.
I would definitely recommend to friends and family.
GGuest UserThe hotel is tired, but there's plenty of greenery. The pool is nice, cozy, beautiful, and deep. The kids dived in. We stayed in a family room, which is large, with beds separated by a partition. The TV had poor reception, and the WiFi was poor. There's no hairdryer, so you have to ask at reception. There's also no safe in the room.
Breakfast is average. The hotel is mostly frequented by older couples, and there are practically no Russians.
There's a 7/11 on both sides, a cafe opposite the hotel on the shore, and an Italian restaurant to the right of the hotel.
The sea is warm, very clean, and practically deserted! There are sun loungers opposite the 7/11 on the right for 30 baht, and on the other side for 50 baht. Water activities for children and adults include inflatables, banana boats, and water sports. Water activities cost 200 baht per person.
Overall, the hotel left a good impression! The nearest currency exchange office is 20 km away.
GGuest UserIt takes no more than 15 minutes by speedboat from the mainland to reach this private island. The accommodation is generally better than the average for small island resorts like this. The beds and towels were clean, unlike many places where they're old and yellowed. I stayed one night in a dome house and one night in a bungalow. The dome house was unique and newer, which was nice, but it got incredibly hot and unbearable when there was no electricity. The bungalow, however, had a cool sea breeze blowing through it constantly. The beach on the west side had some trash, so I'd recommend swimming on the east side. The lady who manages the island is super kind and friendly. Overall, I was impressed. It's perfect for a truly relaxing getaway.
GGuest UserI booked three rooms, and one of them had a broken air conditioner. It was making a very loud noise and wasn't working properly. I couldn't sleep because it was both hot and noisy. I left the room after midnight and needed help from the staff; I just wanted a fan. But when I walked around, there was no one there, and there was no way to contact the staff. ***I would like to strongly criticize this issue.***
Everything else was good, except for this one problem.
GGuest UserAt first the stay was the receptionist to stay in a room that had not been cleaned, but when going to inform him, he changed the room to go to a sea view room. So in the evening there are no staff and the kitchen is no people, so I can't order food to eat now, I didn't inform us what time to order food, so it's not convenient here because if you go out to find something to eat, it will be a bit far.
GGuest UserA pleasant hotel, located on the first line, with a large green area. Unlike most hotels in Thailand, the beach is not separated by a road. There are gazebos on the beach to hide from the sun. The room is spacious, everything you need is there - a comfortable bed, hot water, a kettle, a balcony overlooking the sea and the garden. We did not take breakfast. Of the disadvantages - from time to time the sea brings heaps of plastic garbage to the shore, which no one is in a hurry to clean up
