I really like the bungalow that we have booked (the first one from the stairs, first one on the right if facing the restaurant) because of the clear view of the sea. I looked at the weather before we went to the island and the forecast said there will be frequent rain throughout the days of our stay so I figured it would still be great to sit on the balcony even if it did and it did NOT disappoint! The view in the morning and evening was glorious, and paired with the sound of the waves, was just absolute heaven! We were able to rest well as it is also located in the quiet part of the island. It's also near Bang Bao Village which has a 7/11 and other places where you can shop and eat. You can also just chill on the beach chairs or the restaurant and admire the view. You can snorkel or kayak or just bike around the area (all for free!) if you have no solid plans for the day.
The staff and the animals in the property (cats and dog) was just really sweet. The staff were also really accommodating. Our booking came with a free breakfast and it was good. Also, you must take advantage of the restaurant's Happy Hour as the drinks are discounted! (Wasn't able to see it for the first few days, sad ) Their food is delicious as well.
The room itself was not so big but was comfortable with a ref and a kettle. The air conditioner works well and the water pressure was great. The room is cleaned every 2-3 days. The bed was comfy and we were also able to request an additional blanket. Overall, I highly recommend this place for the price and the quality of stay. (Just realized I wasn't able to take a pic of the inside of our room ).
We rented a motorbike from the ferry pier in Trat as the location of the property is, uhhm, quite far from the Sapparot Pier. But soooo worth it! Be careful when driving as the road has sharp curves and are really steep on some areas.
P.S. Do NOT feed the monkeys.
