Island Hideaway
This stay is exactly as its name.. a hideaway. This hotel is ideal if you'd like a break for a few days and just want to chill with a nice view. Bonus points for being eco-friendly and contributing to the local community. You have to consider the additonal expected costs, however. I booked this hotel impulsively for one night without extensively reading the reviews. This hotel is in a very remote area with only locals and it is a mission to get there. The hotel will charge you about 1000-1200 bhat to arrange transportation from the airport, which includes taxi, long boat, and tuk tuk. We decided to get there ourselves, and it cost less than half of what they would've charged us. The locals will still overcharge you, however, since they know you don't have any other options. If you are planning on staying here, you should just account for this cost and pay it for the convience. Additionally, expect to pay more for food and drinks. Regarding the room, the main part is air conditioned and it cools down nicely. However, the bed was very hard. Since the connecting room to the kitchen area and the bathroom are open air, mosquitoes frequently get it. It would be nice if the bed had a mosquito net so we could open the balcony and not have to worry about chasing them out of the room after. The service was good and the staff were helpful.
