Located in an alley on the north side of the island, this seaside guesthouse is most notable for its entrance garden adorned with two large and two small Moai statues.
The building is pure white, with parking for motorcycles and a foot shower area at the entrance. Inside, the check-in counter is small, and self-service entry and exit is implemented after 6 PM.
On the first floor, there's a sofa area in the lobby, leading to the restaurant. The industrial-style design features wooden tables and chairs, simple yet aesthetically pleasing. The overall design theme clearly reflects the Moai statues. The restaurant includes a restroom and hot/cold water dispensers.
There's an adorable little yellow cat in the guesthouse, which the owner says is the guesthouse's cat. I first noticed it napping on top of the water dispenser. At first, I thought it was decoration, but after turning around, I realized it was the cat.
There's only one elevator, going up to the fifth floor.
From the second floor onwards, each floor has about four rooms. The rooms are small, with the bed right at the entrance. The bed is of medium firmness and provides good support. The TV is quite large and wall-mounted; there's a fourth channel, but I didn't notice if it was a smart TV. Below the TV is a small storage platform and a kettle. I didn't open it specifically because I didn't use it. The other half of the interior space is divided into a sofa area and a bathroom.
The toilet, bathroom, and sink are in the same space. The sink area isn't large, but it's just right for one person. The most satisfying part of the room, besides the semi-sea-view balcony, is the hot tub, which is like a spa resort. It's not only spacious but also deep, and the tiled design includes a bath bomb. It's perfect for a relaxing hot bath after snorkeling before bed. The design fits the building's beams and columns, and the spaciousness helps to separate the wet and dry areas, preventing the rest of the bathroom from getting wet while showering. With the roller blinds open, you can even enjoy the sky while soaking in the tub during the day.
The worst part is the sofa area. This sofa can be unfolded into a cot. If you have children, you don't need an extra bed, but the handles wear out after prolonged use. When folded up, it slides around, making it very uncomfortable to sit on. You can only unfold it into a cot-like chaise lounge. But unfolding it takes up a lot of space and affects the flow of movement to the balcony. Personally, I think a simple small sofa or a small bar table and chairs against the wall would be better. It's a good spot to put a laptop or have some snacks. It's actually quite practical. The balcony isn't big, but the view is decent.
The room is bright and clean overall. Most importantly, the bed is comfortable and very quiet at night.
