Cliff Cottage

great diving spot , has all the diving schools right there . lonley beach is close by and right at the ocean with monkeys

communication between staff and me when requesting things

Location is as good as it looks, staff are very helpful and speak reasonable English. There's good snorkeling just off the beach where the bar is. There are some fantastic views and you are a little way off the beaten track so there's not a lot of night time noise. I would return as it's a pretty good location for Ban Bao, you could walk to the pier if you chose.

Unfortunately (possibly due to the fact we went in low season) when we were there the bar was not open, nor was the restaurant. We borrowed two of the complimentary kayaks and one sank! AC required some time to be truly effective and had there been more guests the carpark would have been inadequate (you might get 5 cars in). The carpark is essentially a stony area that if your car is low to the ground you can forget using anyhow.
