The location is super, right on the beach! The staff was really nice and food was great. We had the best food on the trip here! We had a late flight last night so the let us keep the room until 16.00 on the last day which was very comfortable.

“Best spot on Paje Beach”
We loved the large private beach area in front of the bungalows and we really enjoyed the large pool and the great breakfast, friendly staff and great restaurants along the beach, which you can walk to.

“Very relaxing holiday”
The location on the beach is perfect. The staff is so friendly. Thai food is good at the restaurant. I love their cocktails at their bar on the sunset. That was my 3rd time in this hotel.

The location was amazing. Right on the beach. Just as it appears in the pictures but near to the town and local restaurants. Always enough sun beds too. The pool was also fantastic Lovely size, warm and clean. Always empty The Ecco lodge was great fun. Not the height of luxury but that was not expected. It was just as we imagined. It was spotlessly clean with cleaning everybody morning and bug spray and turn down in the evening. The view from our lodge was straight over the beach. I think we had the lodge with the best view .,Lodge 9. Sadly it didn’t have air con but the fan was very powerful and we were never too warm. Breakfast was excellent. A good choice of hot and cold food to choose from with eggs cooked in any possible way one would want. The staff were also fantastic. Very friendly and helpful . We lost our sun cream and the receptionist offered to get us more from town. My husband cut his foot on a rock walking on the beach and they immediately offered help. I chose the hotel because of the beach pictures but the place far exceeded my expectations. We are seasoned travellers and our experience at Cristal , though only 3 stars , was on par with our stay at marina bay sands in Singapore, the madinet jamieri in Dubai and the Savoy in London. Thankyou Cristal for a lovely time

“Great experience”
Amazing location, we had a great time. The air conditioning wasn’t working in the first place but the staff solved the problem right away. Also the food at their beach restaurant is amazing! Will recommend this to all of our friends.
