“Great deal in the best location”

I totally enjoyed my stay! The property is in the best location, facing directly the beach and the owner Mr. Oliver a chef by profession is a very nice and generous person. You can eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner facing the beach. Aside from the in-house restaurant in which the food is prepared by Mr. Oliver himself, the property is also along the main road where you can find plenty of restaurants, souvenir shops and grocery stores, the location is very convenient. It is a family run business so it has a relaxed, flexible and comfortable vibe to the guest, it is not like a traditional hotel where you will be immediately asked to pay upfront. They never asked me to pay, I am the one who asked them that I need to pay. Therefore, I had a great deal in the best location!

“Awful, only stayed the night as I arrived very late at night”

It was an abandoned property. The door would not shut never mind lock, bed cover dirty, misquitie net with dead insects, mouse/rodent droppings on the table, huge pots of stagnant water standing around the property breeding mosquitoes. The lady left in charge had no English at all and I had to communicate using Google translate. I did feel bad for her as she is essentially caretaker for an abandoned property, no sign of the owners. No idea why it is listed on Booking. Com.

“An unforgettable rustic stay in Ngapali beach that instantly made me feel like I was on holiday.”

The food was fantastic in taste and very interesting. It is a tranquil little spot that made me feel at home. Oliver ensures that a personal touch is made with how relaxed the environment is. An unforgettable experience, where the friends I made had been coming there for repeat stays and I can understand why. Great value for money and the location is out of a picture book. Central and easy to get to most places on foot. The rooms are simple and rustic, but have everything you may need. If you need anything else, they were happy to help where possible. Towels were replaced upon request, along with a sweep of the rooms. [You have to request housekeeping.]

“Disappointing”

Staff very kind and dedicated

“Derelict”

2023 October Review. This place is derelict and should not even be allowed to be advertised. Upon enquiry locally, they have had no guests since Covid. The property was dirty, unkempt, strewn with litter, rusty water tap in bathroom, none of the facilities as advertised on booking.com. There was a fallen tree in the roof. There were large standing pots of water which made for a mosquito infested environment. I emailed the owner who ignored my complaint. The whole structure could be considered as dangerous as it was so run down. I complained to Booking.com also, who did not reply. After arriving in the dark, I stayed one night and thrn left.

“In general, it was a pleasant stay despite there were some issues (Hygiene and Cleanliness) on Day 1”

The location and atmosphere.

“Awesome”

Awesome little place. The bar was great with tables on the beach. Oliver and all super kind and helpful. Would stay again

Absolutely the best place to stay for a budget traveller. Right on the beach. And the owner Oliver is special. He will help you with anything he can. Been living here for +25 years. One of my favourite places in Myanmar. Big airy rooms with lots of space. Private bathroom. He is also a chef if you like good food. I was lucky to visit during "the situation", hardly no tourists. So lucky. Can't recommend enough....

The lodge is located right next to the beach and bedroom overlooks the sea. Beach is excptionally clean and looks like something youd see on a postcard. Oliver and his family and staff welcomed me, gave me useful tips and advice on where to go andmade me feel at home. Looking forward to going back!
