  Terrible Experience - Money Went Missing

  I stayed at this property from July 10 to 11 in Room 103 and 104. While we were out, we left our bags in the room, trusting that our belongings would be safe. I had $1300 with me at the time, but when I checked on July 12, almost all the money was gone - only nine $1 bills remained, and I didn't even have any $1 bills with me originally. This has been a shocking and upsetting experience. It raises serious concerns about the safety and security at this place. I expected better from a professional accommodation. I urge the management to take this seriously and improve their internal handling and security measures. Would not recommend this place to anyone until these issues are addressed

  Good vibes and kind folks

  I had good experiences here. The room was comfortable, the air conditioning worked great, and the view of the waves was lovely. Most of all, Tirone and Suda were very kind and helpful to me. In fact, all the employees were quite genuinely friendly, which is unexpected in an area with frequent turnover.

  Great budget place on the beach

  This is an amazing budget place, right on the beach! We had the family bungalow and were only a few steps from the water. It reminded us of the good old Thai beach bungalows, nothing fancy but you get exactly what you pay for! We had two double beds, a seating area, a shelf for clothes and a desk. A big terrace with chairs, a table, a drying rack and an amazing view of the sea. From our beds we could even watch the sunrise! Bathroom was quite simple, and had plenty of places where bugs could enter, so we kept the door closed and used plenty of mosquito spray. We had air condition, fan and mosquito nets. The owner was really nice, and although they have no extra service, like beach towels, they did what they could to help us. When we requested forks they got them from their nearby restaurant (delivered on motorcycle!). The Golden beach hotel and restaurant has the same owners so we could use their beach loungers and cabanas, and we got a discount on our breakfast there. The restaurant in front of the hotel is not related to the hotel, so the sun beds there are not to be used (you could probably use them for a fee). We did use their hammocks, chairs and swing, and their food was excellent. We also had a double room (we are a family of five), it was quite simple but there was a double bed and a single bed, a table and on the porch there were chairs, a table and a drying rack. Bathroom was newer and quite nice. Location is perfect, directly on the beach (few other places have bungalows with beach access). Several restaurants within one minute walk along the beach, and a few dive shops. Walking up the road, you find more restaurants and some shops. Uppuveli is a quiet place, don’t expect much night life. The restaurant by the hotel closed around 11 pm. Fernando seems to be the only place staying open later than that.

  Amazing Place

  The reception staff were lovely and so helpful when we had issues with WiFi; my husband having to send an important document. They went out of their way to help us out. On the whole, it was a positive experience and I would stay here again

  Beach

  I occupied the eco cabana. The cabana is tastefully constructed. They have air conditioning, fan and mosquito nets. It can accommodate 3 . The cabana is on the beach. The view is excellent day or night from your bed. You step into the beach as soon as you get out of the cabana. There are lots of stray and sick Dogs along the beach.Not sure they have Rabies. Have to chase them all the time. Above all its value for money.
