PPregashBeautiful majestic location, sadly being made the most of to make money. Everything is double charged as opposed to the nearby islands. The first impressions were very bad, as there was no communication as to what time the ”complimentary” ferry left Koh Tao for Nangyuan. We were dumped in a boat with our luggage with no one to tell us when we are leaving. After my asking we are told in broken English that the boat doesn't leave for another hour and a half! We get to Nangyuan, there is no direct apology really, but breakfast added in without a word said. The breakfast was nice but dinner completely bland and overpriced. Snorkels, chair and parasol free of charge but again no communication. We sort of had to figure it out ourselves. Thankfully the peacefulness of the island means after such lack of communications, and facing staff with stern attitude, all is okay in the end. I would not spend three days there again unfortunately due to the staff's attitude and behaviour. 1 or max 2 days will suffice, as you can visit the island from elsewhere anyway.
KKevinGthis hotel isn't worth its price. if you want something comfortable, pick something else.
the good: it is family run so the staff is helpful (late checkout), they speak a bit of english. The room is clean and overall it's acceptable.
the bad:
- i felt a total lack of security. The checkin is at the ground floor, then the rooms start from 1 to 4 floor. all floors are accessible by a staircase which is directly accessible to anyone from the main road. Basically there is no garden/private area, the checkin office and the staircase are simply on the road. There is no staff after 8pm and the hotel is situated a little in the back of the town. So basically anyone can walk up the stairs. Then the door locker is really bad, there is no second security lock (which most hotels have) so this is innaceptable due to the fact that the room door is basically accessible to anyone from outside.
- the shower isn't great, the water is hot all day long (by sun) so no way to take a fresh shower at day. at night or early morning, the water is cold (or have to wait at least 5min to drain the water out)
- the hotel is pretty basic. for the same price you can have a swimming pool in another hotel..
