Great cheap resort, not cheap enough for backpackr
We happened upon this place while looking for the best spot for sunsets, and it did not disappoint! Clean rooms, cold AC, hot showers, 24/7 private beach access for no additional cost, happy hour deals at on site restaurant, free shuttle to and from Patong (mostly reliable), and a kind and helpful staff. Even though this place calls itself a "backpackers hostel", everything, including the cost of a bed, was overpriced and EVERYTHING closes at 6 meaning you have to go into town if you want to stay up late. Even with the shuttle, the 15ish min drive for food or anything was slightly inconvenient especially since we found the shuttle to be less reliable after 6 (when the beach closes to non-hostel guests). "Full" moon parties every Sat night. There was a small "store" in the reception that sold the essentials and some snacks (slightly more costly than 7/11) - free water & cheapest beer on property are here. We loved this place to break up our typical routine of staying at the cheapest hostel we can find, but it lacked the backpacking hostel essentials - CHEAPER food and booze, free lounge area to chill and meeting other backpackers (all beach chairs came at a price), book exchange and library, and other backpackers. I know we traveled near the end of monsoon (and "off season"), but we literally had the place to ourselves for the 6+ nights we stayed here. To some, this may be a good thing, but others may prefer more of a true backpacking hostel. Would stay again though!!
