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/ noche
Reserva esto si You want a barefoot, adults-oriented bamboo bungalow on a secluded bay where the biggest decision of the day is 'pool or ocean?'
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- 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
Resumen rápido: It’s a rustic-chic hideaway that feels like a secret, provided you don't mind thin bamboo walls and a rocky low tide.
Reseñado por @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.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
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

Antes de reservar

Qué llevar
- Aqua shoes (essential for low tide swimming)

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
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.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
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 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡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.
