Phuphaya Seaview Resort - Adults Only

One of the main reasons you come to a hotel is to sleep. This place unfortunately failed on this big time. We therefore had no choice but to leave the property asap after the first night. When asking the host about this they deem it acceptable because they have put it on their Airbnb Profile and is therefore not a problem. We could not sleep because it felt like we were inside a boombox. The noise from 15m walk away was not only heard but felt. This was not helped by the gap in the broken window that may have reduced the noise slightly. If the lack of sleep we got was not due to the noise it would have inevitably been due to the thin pillows or the see through curtains. The endless other issues encountered included broken lights, cobwebs over lights, marks on walls, long black hairs on bed, crusty towels, expired so potentially unsafe AC, broken jacuzzi, no shampoo, no amenities such as ironing board, kettle. There is no tea and coffee in room but if you go to the bar you can get an instant coffee sachet. But this is not free. There is very low shower pressure and a poor cabbage drainage smell however we understand this may be more of a widespread issue across the island. There is no WiFi in the bungalow and though on Airbnb it states we are staying in someone's home, do not be misled by this as this is actually part of a resort and not someone's home. The pool and the terrace area just in case you miss the smallprint is not private and shared with all the other refunds. Although we agreed to meet someone on arrival they did not come for 35m. Though we appreciate greatly their service and care, we were disappointed at the lack of guidance of where to meet them. Finally, we were astonished at the lack of care or concern by Chompoo. We had provided ample opportunity to gain understanding over the issues but there was no refund offered or even when we offered a compromise and would accept the night we didn't stay in refund this was ignored. It is shocking not even an apology was given. Chompoo was defensive and suggested our list of problems encountered were not valid as "other guests enjoy the property fine" and explains the property is designed for backpackers who make up 99% of visitors. This made us feel we were being unreasonable. In a nutshell if you want to sleep on holiday don't go here.

…et pour la vue de la piscine! On ne s’en lasse pas en journée et encore moins au couché de soleil. Même si oui l’eau de la piscine n’est pas très claire et qu’il n’y a pas d’ombre autour. Pas d’eau chaude dans la douche mais une Clim en fonctionnement et sans supplément pour nous. Nous n’avons pas testé le PDJ car nous partions très tôt pour maya bay (je recommande cette formule). En remontant après l’hôtel on atteint directement le 2e points de vue sur l’île et sans payer, comptez 20-30 min de marche tranquille. Prévoir bouchons d’oreilles car la musique remonte de la plage pourtant loin.
