Smile Bungalows

Amazing place. Lovely staff. Beautiful beach. We (2 adults 2 kids) stayed here 6 nights and despite a rare spell of bad weather we had a great time. Good food with Thai and western dishes at restaurant on beach. Kids’ paradise - swings, games etc ... staff play beach soccer and volley ball with guests when available. Vibes here is hippy-happy-relax-cool. Rooms are simple but picturesque and confortable. Mosquito nets. Fans work well. No need for aircon (August). Overall great value money and far from hoards of tourists elsewhere in islands.

.... Pity, in such a beautiful spot to lack some ecological basics such as : no straws, less plastic, wastage, recycling etc ... that could be a real bonus to Smile and I’m sure guests would be willing to pay a little extra for that effort.

We love bottle beach! The superior room is perfect, so much light in the room and we loved the bathroom downstairs. Staff is very nice, you can ask them anything.

After 4 nights we asked for new clean towels ourselves. Also the menu in the restaurant is a bit outdated. However, the food is nice!

De ligging

Alles was super

The accommodations are lovely. Clean, cozy rooms a few steps from the sea. The village is quiet and peaceful, there are mostly families. The location is magic.

They wrongly made us pay for a dish we did not consume. Also, they offered us transport to the Full Moon Party for 500 baht saying the entrance fee was also included but in fact it wasn’t. It costs 100 baht which they refused to refund. Beware that this resort is in bottle beach, a beautiful area which can be reached only by boat or via 4x4 so it can be quite expensive. Be ready to bargain for prices. We managed to pay 125 baht for the boat and 125 baht for the van from the pier to The nearest point of the north part of the island in order to reach bottle beach.

These are real bungalows, so they are rather basic, the way they should be. But the sheets were nice and clean, the food was very good, the (ambient temperature) shower very reasonable, and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Above all, the location is fantastic. Of all the places in beautiful bottle beach, this seamed the nicest.

I need to think about that one... OK, there was no spare toilet paper in the bathroom - you had to ask for it :)
