We really enjoyed our time here in spite of the 3 days of pouring rain. There weren't many people staying here, as it was the peak of monsoon season (we knew that, and expected the daily BIG rain that happened). We had a separate room with a tub at the corner of the property. There was lots of privacy for the deck and tub.Every one of the staff was really friendly and helpful (reception, housekeeping, and restaurant). Check-in and checkout were friendly, quick, and easy.The included breakfast was really good. Fresh fruit, juice, and coffee to start; then, lots of choices from sweet to savory. The eggs Benedict and omelts were particularly good (it's all unlimited; just keep ordering if you want more). The dinner menu was also tasty. The 2-for-1 happy hour was great. So great we had a few+ drinks each, all of which we enjoyed (enjoyed enough to jump in the pool during a big rain storm on the way back to our room; pretty sure we appeared crazy to the staff). Daily housekeeping was attentive, thourough, and friendly. There was a small mini-bar with good prices (fridge was cold enough for beer, and freezer cold enough to keep ice frozen).Our room was spacious with an amazing (cliff) view to the ocean. During the seasonal monsoon rains, the waves were especially big and soothing against the rocks below. All of our stay was very peaceful and relaxing (no kids allowed!)While it would have been great to go snorkeling and enjoy the island more, we were thrilled to have days of big rainstorms to just relax. We'd love to come back during better weather.

Lovely location & views, gorgeous concept design, great that child free so quiet and relaxing, and lovely staff who were very accommodating to change breakfast options for me for 2nd and 3rd day for vegan options. In addition my car broke down and the team went out of their way to find a mechanic and get it fixed so I could get home. So customer service was amazing. Khun Ai especially deserves a mention for his help sorting out my car.However I agree with some other comments and reviews, and not sure I’d pay the high season price and would be more critical I think as resort has some issues. Room smelt strongly of dettol after cleaning so very difficult to be in it as quite an overpowering smell, bath water came out rusty and never really got hot so gave up trying to fill up the bath, gym was looking quite tired and air con wasn’t particularly effective, air con in room very loud if on max/high, and generally resort looked like needed some maintenance. However it is low season so issues may be resolved ahead of peak season. Also be aware they will charge for any stains/damage to linens - my eye mask stained the pillow which I didn’t know would happen, and I got charged for 2 pillow cases.

We could not have had a better time than here at the Houben. All of the staff were so attentive and friendly from start to finish. In-fact we extended our stay and still did not want to leave! …

Very good stay. Perfect for nature lovers, we saw all kinds of animals in the wild (monkeys, eagles, komodo dragons, lizards, etc.) but they were all outside so no worries.Service was excellent! Breakfast needed maybe more choices (ex. potatoes), but it was all good.We booked a sunsed fine dining experience since it was our honeymoon and it was everything I had imagined before. Very good food, well placed and the service was impeccable.They give provide you with wifi, a beach bag, beach towels, umbrellas and even a speaker to connect your phone.

We stayed for two nights here. We were first given a room but the AC was not working and the staff immediately took action to move us to a different room. I believe the AC was fixed almost immediately as new guests were given that room the next day.The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was very easy to communicate with each one of them.We were there on low season, so the atmosphere was really private and quiet. We enjoyed the privacy so much.The red pool was a nice touch but a bit too deep for a 150cm who can’t swim like me hahaha. We chilled in the jacuzzi where we can hear the wave hitting the shore while looking at the sky full of stars.The breakfast choice was not a lot but really nice. You should try the thai porridge, a nice warm meal to start the day.If you walk down the hill, you can find many bike rental shops, halal restaurants, convenience store, local stalls and tour services.All in all, I 100% recommend yall to stay here.

I stayed at The Houben with my partner in 2023 and 2024 and it was fantastic! A real favorite for this hotel. Calm, tranquility, magnificent view, impressive breakfast, very friendly staff, everything is there for an unforgettable stay. We will definitely go back one day, maybe in 2026 :)And special mention for the room service which is clearly affordable and delicious. Thanks to the whole team and see you next time
