Beluga Boutique Hotel

Amazing hotel right on the beach. Rooms are very spacious and clean, staff are friendly and the location is great! Will definitely stay again.

This place is a gem, i did nothing all week and loved every minute. just lazing in the pool and the food is truly world class.not often you find a place run like this place.i beet in Thailand 8 times this place wins over all the othere i stayed at over the years.

A direct access to the (rocky) beach is hardly the saving grace when considering accessibility and safety. It's the first time that I have ever had a "don't recommend" comment in my years of traveling. Pros: A direct access to the rocky beach. However, I wouldn't call it a private beach as people did walk in and had their sunbath or picnic on the rocks too. Cons: I. The accessibility to the hotel is questionable. The road to the hotel is a narrow, wary alley. If one arrives in the evening, there's barely light. We had to use our own flashlights to find our way in. It's located at the outskirts. One needs to rent a scooter to get around and it's quite dark after 8 pm. It could be tricky for the first time visitors. II. Safety is a concern as aforementioned in others' comments. Regretfully, I didn't read them when I booked the hotel. Other than the darkness, there were dogs chasing and ready to jump on us, barring the way in. We had to call the hotel and hoped for the best as it appeared that no one's around in the evening. Fortunately, someone's around that night and came to our rescue. III. The hotel was so understaffed to the point that we did our own housekeeping during our four night stay there. The request for housekeeping was completely ignored. We asked the bartender for new towels instead. IV. The check-in can be challenging. The check-in counter is a tiny desk across the ramp without much space to put one's backpacks, let alone luggage. I was fiercely questioned about my visa validity for no reason. It's the first time that I had ever encountered such a question among all the places that I had ever stayed throughout the world. Sure, it could be a formality but the attitude was offensive. V. The room was old and weary. The room smelled moldy. The water pressure was so weak that one's couldn't quite flush the toilet.
