The White Cottage

I recently spent a weekend here, and overall, I would say it was a decent experience for what we paid. Here's a breakdown of my thoughts: Accommodations (3/5): The rooms were clean and well-maintained, but they felt a bit outdated. The furniture and decor could use some updating, and the beds were not the most comfortable. However, the room had all the basic amenities, including a TV, mini-fridge, and a clean bathroom. It's not a luxury experience, but it was acceptable for a short stay. Service (4/5): The staff here were friendly and attentive. They were quick to address our needs and answer any questions we had. Check-in and check-out were efficient, and the concierge was helpful in arranging activities in the area. Amenities (3/5): The resort has a nice pool area, which we enjoyed. However, the pool could have been cleaner, and there were limited lounge chairs available, especially during peak hours. The on-site restaurant had a decent menu, but the food was a bit on the expensive side for what you got. It would be nice to have more dining options nearby. Location (3/5): It is located a bit further from the main attractions in the area, so you'll need a car to get around. This could be a downside for some, but it's also quieter and away from the crowds. If you're looking for a more secluded experience, it might be a plus. Value for Money (3/5): The pricing at this resort is reasonable, but you get what you pay for. It's not a luxury resort, so if you're looking for a budget-friendly option, it's a decent choice. In summary, this is a middle-of-the-road resort. It's not going to blow you away, but it's clean, the service is good, and it offers an affordable place to stay. If you're not too concerned with luxury and just need a place to sleep while exploring the area, it's worth considering.

Short walk for Fisherman's Village. Need to walk down an ill maintained road to get to the hotel - not ideal at night, poorly lit. The hotel itself is nothing like the photos - needs a lot of maintenance. Pool unusable. Outdoor pest control chemicals were sprayed from an exhaust outside our room and entered our room via the gap and holes in the door to our room. From inside the room, it looked like a massive cloud of smoke. As we ran out of the room in a panic, realising that it was pest control, noticing that those spraying the agent were wearing PPE, we were very concerned that this had happened. Surely this is not safe. A pest control liquid had been sprayed in our room prior, which was fine, it was hopefully meant for indoors, but this clearly wasn't. The staff member we spoke to said we'd complain if there were bugs in the room and we complain about pest control. We actually didn't have any bugs in the room until pest control left a big worm in the toilet! The staff member was very rude. He didn't seem to care, saying he and other people sit in it, although "it's not ideal". Personally, I think this is dangerous for guests - surely those chemicals should not be inhaled by humans! We left as soon as we were able to enter the room again to collect our stuff. Worst hotel experience we've had in SE Asia and we've been travelling here nearly 6 months.

Small and intimate establishment with a very friendly and accommodating owner. The rooms and hotel grounds were clean and well maintained. They do not provide breakfast but there are plenty of options at the surrounding resorts and area. A little off the main road and slightly challenging to access by car - might be a little hard to spot at night too. Overall a quiet and comfortable stay, good value for money.

Very friendly staff, couldn’t do enough to help us with day trips, taxis, places to eat etc.
