“Best sand under your feet of whole Koh Phayam”
Waking up to the sound of the ocean and then dipping my feet into the softest white sand on whole Koh Phayam, that is what my dreams are made of! Ailay has the comfort of an air-con and is perhaps the only beachfront resort with such nice sand on the entire island.

“Lovely AC units right in the beach”
Excellently located AC units on Long Beach. Friendly and welcoming owners and staff. There was snorkelling gear, boogie boards and other items available free of charge for guests use. Excellent snorkelling available ~100 metres out to sea directly in line with the far end bungalow of La Ong Lay resort, looking from the restaurant. About a 10 minute walk up the beach ( road by the side of The Kingdom) there are some shops/bars/restaurants and even a Japanese bakery! Turn right at the mini crossroads towards the Japanese Bakery and a little way further up on the right hand side there is a mini mart which will refill your water bottles for far less than purchasing new plastic bottles. The resort restaurant (Forget-me-not) served great food, had lovely staff and was open from early morning through until 8 pm in the evening. We were fortunate to be staying during cashew nut season. We managed to purchase some homegrown cashews from the owners to take with us on our journey. We loved staying here because all the units are located right on the beautiful beach.

“The nicest rooms we have stayed in on Koh Phayam as long as you don’t mind walking a bit to other restaurants etc”
Very comfortable rooms with nice bedding and large bathrooms right in the sand on the beach - the air cons are super quiet, the beds large and the daily cleaning standard high.

“2 star resort charging 4 star prices.”
The beach is beautiful. The hut is right on the beach. The air conditioning worked very well. The cleaners were there every day, so as clean as they could make it.

“Perfect if you want to stay on the beach”
Beachfront bungalow right on the beach with full seaview. Was able to go for a swim at night time with plankton and then fall asleep to the sound of waves. The staff was extremely welcoming, helpful and kind. Location was great, a bit on the side away from busy bars but easy to walk to any of them by the beach.

The hut was great and an impressive size and views were amazing. I was very comfortable here and had no complaints. It is perfect for a quiet and laid back get-away. The restaurant next door meant you never had to go very far for food and drinks. Staff were amazing and were always willing to go the extra mile. Very lovely people.

“Rip-off! Not recommended the second raw bungalows!”
Nothing if you are in the second raw bungalows. We booked for 5 days and looked for another place the very same day we arrived. The location was terrible, the view was to a wall from the bungalow in front, totally overpriced, and they kept telling us that if we didn’t like it we should talk to booking.com. Needless to say that the tv, the air-conditioned didn’t work,… total rip-off. They are lying to you when the sell the second row bungalows!
