Saikaew Villa 65

Very good for a budget hotel! The AC works fine, and the bathroom is decent enough. The price-to-quality ratio is fair. The location is convenient, right by the water. They even have their own parking for scooters.

Great location! We really chose this hotel purely for its direct beach access. The room itself is very basic and simple. The host, however, is very friendly and approachable. You have nice little eateries right by the sea, and there was a fireworks show every evening right across from our hotel.

Attention! Money went missing from our room at this hotel!! This is the most horrible place I've ever had to stay in! Avoid this hotel at all costs if you don't want to ruin your vacation! It's filthy and squalid everywhere, from the light switches to the "furniture" and plumbing, which you don't even want to touch. In the shower, they actually drilled a hole in the wall for water drainage from the second floor, apparently to avoid bothering with proper sewage. Because of this, the rooms are constantly damp and infested with swarms of mosquitoes. Despite its convenient location near the beach and the island center, I strongly advise against choosing this hotel for your vacation!

The location is excellent, but it doesn't meet expectations for the price. When we visited in 2023, sun loungers were free, but now they charge 60 baht per person, I believe. The standard rooms are terrible – old, with no shelves or tables, so clothes just end up on the floor. The shower is bad, offering no comfort at all. The noise isolation is awful; every morning from 5:30 AM, a rooster crows non-stop right under the windows. Staff start making a lot of noise and working early in the morning, and then at night, someone was snoring incredibly loudly. For this price, you could definitely find a much more comfortable and convenient place to stay.
