Great stay
This is back-packer accommodation, do not expect a resort. Beach was advertised, but I found out after I booked it, that there is almost no option to swim there... Wifi is paid (via Skyling but works very well) - it is included already in your receipt, so no extra charges you agree via Booking, but I was suprised. Excellent information before you get there and you also have a note on the table what is where. The taxi driver had a huge problem to find the place, but we made it. The owner of the place is also the owner of nearby restaurant. 5 minutes to the grocery store, 20 to 30 minutes to the downtown on foot, bus stop nearby (do not count on the bus stop, you just go and wave). Liu - the houskeeping sweet lady - helps you with everything - she lives next door.

Lovely friendly place. Basic but if you want somewhere friendly, handy, value for money, its perfect
Lovely stay and really nice meeting Bill. He is such an interesting guy and very cool to see the laser engraving in action too. Had a lovely pawpaw for breakfast too.
