The hype
Travelers obsess over the 'family' feel of the staff and the magical beachfront breakfast, often calling it their favorite stop in Thailand.
Lazy Days Bungalows
$70-165/ noapte
Rezervă dacă You want a barefoot, adults-oriented bamboo bungalow on a secluded bay where the biggest decision of the day is 'pool or ocean?'
De ce o iubesc oamenii
- Only 9 bungalows ensure a private, uncrowded vibe
- Breakfast is legendary—served right on the beach with five different 'formulas'
- Direct access to Relax Bay, a quieter alternative to the busy Long Beach
Privire rapidă: It’s a rustic-chic hideaway that feels like a secret, provided you don't mind thin bamboo walls and a rocky low tide.
Evaluat de @alicia_katharina: I stayed in this bamboo bungalow and it was the ultimate island fantasy. Showering in the semi-outdoor bathroom with the sun peeking through was a core memory. If you want to disconnect and just be by the ocean, this is the spot.
Oaspeții care au stat aici au spus
Reality check
Light sleepers struggle with the noise from the nearby beach bar and the lack of insulation in the bamboo huts.
- You hate concrete mega-resorts and want authentic Thai island vibes
- You are comfortable with 'nature' (geckos, sounds of the sea) in your room
- You want to be walking distance to a few cool bars but away from the main party strip

Înainte să rezervi
Bine de știut

- They provide earplugs, which is a thoughtful admission of the noise reality
Ce să împachezi
- Aqua shoes (essential for low tide swimming)
- High-quality earplugs (better than the free ones)

“I'd love to request a Garden Bungalow further back from the beach bar for a quieter night's sleep, if availability permits.”
Întrebări frecvente și sfaturi ascunse
Tot ceea ce vrei de fapt să știi înainte de a rezerva.
Is there a pool?
Yes, but it's a small plunge pool suitable for a cooling dip, not swimming laps.
Can I swim in the ocean here?
Yes, but only at high tide. At low tide, the bay reveals sharp rocks and coral, making swimming difficult to impossible.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, and it's excellent—choose from 5 different set menus served beachfront.
Is it family friendly?
Not for young kids. Guests must be 12+ to stay in the bungalows.
How far is the main town?
Saladan Pier is about a 15-minute tuk-tuk ride north. The main road with shops is a 350m walk.
Is there AC?
Yes, all bungalows have air conditioning, which is a huge plus for bamboo structures.
Sfaturi de Insider
- ✨
Walk next door to 'Viva Zapata' at Relax Bay Resort for great cocktails if the hotel bar is quiet.
- ✨
The 'Yawee Restaurant' near the main road turnoff has some of the best chicken wings and papaya salad on the island.
- ✨
Book a massage at the hotel's beachfront sala—prices are slightly higher than the road but the view is unbeatable.
5 lucruri pe care trebuie să le știi înainte să pleci
💡The 'walls' are woven bamboo mats; you can see daylight through the cracks.
💡The tide recedes dramatically; your 'beachfront' view becomes a 'rockfront' view for half the day.
💡There are no TVs in the rooms (some sources say yes, but recent guests confirm it's a disconnect vibe—bring a tablet if you need Netflix).
💡The path to the hotel from the main road is unlit and bumpy; use your phone flashlight at night.
💡You get a dedicated wifi router in your bungalow, making it surprisingly viable for digital nomads.
