Coffee was fresh ground. Meals to suit all. Overall pricing food and lodging was around 1/2 of what Id pay in Canada. Wine… read more was three X the price and half the quality in all of Thailand. The massages at the resort were awesome and 400 baht/ hr. $20 cdn. Beach is 3 km long and in low tide the beach goes out 120 metres . sun tanning was awesome.
Lots of eating options within 10 min walk. Have fun

The safety box was so rusted the whole thing broke and needed to be drilled. Bathroom and rooms were not dirty but not clean. The worst part of the trip were the staff. The owner Avi is nice enough but he doesnt have the ability to run a tight ship. His staff are indifferent at best and rude at worst. When I told them the safety box was broken, they all spoke in Thai behind my back (not knowing I am Thai) saying they didn’t want to address the issue. Shocking and appalling. The top of the line room which I paid extra for AC, yet the AC was also broken. I had to follow up with them 3 times and only got it fixed at 9PM when the problem was first reported at 11AM. The staff also had a litany of excuses: “I don’t work here” “we needed you here to fix it” etc. Unfortunately, I wasn’t the only unhappy guest.

The waves and location are immaculate but Bamboo needs a 100% overhaul. Let the professionals do the job and leave the amateurs out of the picture. Let this be a wake up call – in no way do I want to harm a business but if they want to be sustainable it is time to face reality.
