Easy Backpackers Paradise

Quiet location, hotel right next to a smaller but quite adequate beach, friendly staff...

The View, the Lobby, the environment

The beach Restaurant seemed a little overpriced for the standards in this area. The shower and the toilet was in the same small room.

It appears to be a previous resort catering for mainland Chinese tour groups. Many of the signs were painted over with the Easy Backpackers signage slapped over them. It is quite far away from the centre of town (which is another story altogether!) and the road in was under construction when we arrived so the tuk tuk drivers didn’t want to take us all the way in which necessitated a 1km walk with luggage. The resort was mainly deserted, we were almost the only people staying there. They only accepted cash which meant I had to use an overpriced ATM in the lobby which should have been made more explicit. The restaurant was very over priced (but it was difficult to leave the resort) and my daughter got hideous food poisoning. This necessitated a trip to a pharmacy and we were considering taking her to the hospital. The room smelt musty and the beds were planks with thin mattresses. After my daughter projectile vomited everywhere in the bathroom, I bought antibacterial spray and wipe and deep cleaned the bathroom and it smelt much better than when we arrived. Not a great sign. The sink was also about to fall off the wall. We told the receptionist through Google translate but nothing was done about it. We just used it very gingerly. The hotel is surrounded by decaying construction sites and the beach itself is about 5m wide and you cannot swim in the sea because of rips. This 5m strip of beach is made into set up tables where outside guests can come during sunset to take photos for the ‘gram. It’s quite an interesting sight to see but prevents hotel guests from using the tables. The last night there was an almighty rave at the restaurant with ‘doof doof’ music going all night. At 10pm there was an incredibly loud fireworks display which we knew nothing about. No joke, we all leapt out of bed and got on the floor thinking it was gun shots at first. There was also a very creepy guy walking around the resort taking photos of us outside our room or at the...

The staff at the restaurant were very helpful and lovely, but we didn’t go back after the first night. The bedding looked new.

Private beach. The room, the bed.

Location is a bit far from all the things

Beautiful room with A/C and comfy bed

Really loved everything about it. It is adjacent to a resort where you can have a beer to see the most amazing sunset. With snacks! A small shop that has coffee, pot noodles... But you do need your own transportation as it is far from everything

The staff was welcoming.

Not well located, with only one restaurant nearby that was very expensive.
