Our stay here was more than pleasant.The grounds around the bungalows are very well maintained and the bungalow itself is outstanding: very clean, nicely furnished, modern and close to the beach.We also appreciated the pool, the hammock and the beach mat (which you could take with you to the beach).There is an in-house scooter rental with very fair prices, the scooters are in very good condition and there is no deposit.The staff and Tom in particular were very welcoming, we would have liked to stay longer and can highly recommend The Great Escape.

The best place I have been during my visit to Thailand. Idyllic place to rest and recover physically and mentally, in addition to how beautiful the place is and how well organized everything is. Nice beds, large and spacious bathroom and beautiful terrace. If I came back, I would repeat without hesitation. Also the friendly, attentive and helpful staff. I loved.

Tom was a great host who provided great support with holiday planning! The accommodation itself is located on the comparatively quiet Thon Pan Yai Beach. Correspondingly suitable for a more relaxed holiday. SUPs are available to rent on site for 200B. A nice day trip, and suitable for all climbing enthusiasts, took us to Boddle Beach View.The accommodations are equipped with a pool and there is also a free minibar at the start of your stay. You should watch out for the geckos at night, which quickly sneak into the room when the door is open.All the best!Lucas & Cindy

Nice that you have your own private swimming pool, the rooms are very dated. They are very helpful and friendly.
