哈哈Rating, 5 stars2 months ago

房东人非常热情哦，有求必应，还同意我们离店后的第三天免费寄存行李，要知道这里其他地方寄存行李都是要收费的哦，离加雅街非常近，基本网红店都在这里，口味很好，距离哲斯顿码头非常近，跳岛游很方便，我们在码头还报了红树林也是直接在码头这里坐车，以后有机会还回来，推荐房东的房源哦

Sea Dragon Adventures Beach Resort - Pirate House

5 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviews62 months ago

A very special place on a remote beach that you're taken to by quick boat ride, this really is a family affair. Martini, her friends and family do a great job of welcoming you in and catering to every need. The two chalets are light, breezy and comfortable, and the deck where meals are served is beautiful. The food is international, good quality and plentiful. The sea is very shallow so if you are a swimmer you will need to head some distance off the beach, and you may encounter jellyfish so take a long sleeve manmade fibre top to swim in. There is a really beautiful deserted beach just round the corner. A great place to unwind.

Ecozy Suites

MichaelaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Vysoká hodnota ubytování za dobrou cenu, Simeon byl s námi v kontaktu po celou dobu pobytu. Při příjezdu na nás čekal na recepci, vše vysvětlil. Byl velmi milý a ochotný. Vybavení ubytování bylo perfektní, vše funkční. Pračka se sušičkou je velmi užitečná. Navštívili jsme i bazén v 6. patře, voda byla čistá a atmosféra u bazénu velmi příjemná. Poloha je v docházkové vzdálenosti na trhy, obchodní centrum a hlavně do přístavu. Určitě znovu navštívíme. Důrazně doporučuji. Děkuji za skvělý pobyt.

Private Pool House Villa With Sea View

EstherRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Amazing Family Stay with a Private Pool – Unforgettable Experience! Our family had a fantastic time at Ocean Villa! The private pool was definitely a highlight—our kids spent hours swimming and playing while we relaxed poolside. It made the whole trip feel extra special and private. The villa was spotless, spacious, and perfectly set up for families. We felt right at home with everything we needed, from a well-equipped kitchen to comfortable beds and a safe, peaceful environment. Check-in was super easy, and the host was kind, responsive, and thoughtful throughout our stay. The location was quiet but close enough to restaurants and shops, which made it super convenient for a family trip. This place offered great value and created beautiful memories for us. We’re so glad we chose Ocean Villa and would absolutely love to come back again! Thank you Ocean Villa ❤️

Tranquil Riverside Retreat: Your Serene Getaway

DeepaknathRating, 5 stars11 months ago

We loved staying at Grace Guesthouse. We loved the stream and spent an entire day just playing there. There are spectacular views just outside the house. It's away from any modern amenities, but one goes here to get away from the city life. Would be lovely if we could return here sometime. Thank you for all your help and kindness!

Luna Homestay 3B2B (Sea/Sunset View) @ City Centre

RuichiRating, 5 stars1 week ago

pros: very good location, walking distance (abt 15min) to Gaya street (but the weather is too hot so we still took a grab). also not far from the beach and airport The host was very responsive. The house is large and easy to check in. rooms are clean. good for a group stay. Overall worth the price! cons: It's near the airport, so sometimes the noise of airplanes is annoying. The flow of the shower head is weak...

The open living area features large windows providing a view of the ocean, complemented by modern furnishings. A round table with two green chairs creates a cozy dining space, while a sofa bed is positioned beside a potted plant, inviting relaxation.
