The Beachouse

The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the outside shower in our bure was FABULOUS! Menus provided a good selection and staff were so kind; they always remembered our names. If you want an active day, best plan on organizing your own activities. If all you want is to have is a lazy swim or go snorkeling, read a good book and have a nap, the is the place for you. Super chill, super relaxed. We didn't have our own transportation but were able to get to various destinations via the local bus, mini bus, taxi, and, of course, the express bus. Be prepared to be calm and flexible with waiting for your bus; sometimes they're full and you have to wait for the next one that, surprisingly, shows up quite quickly.

It took a day or two to warm up to The Beachouse. I was expecting more of a resort-feel but instead it felt like an upmarket backpackers. The breakfast supplied was very basic..cornflakes and weetbix, bananas, toast and spreads but you could buy a cooked breakfast. But it was very clean, and the food changed for evening meals and was very nice, especially the curries. The hammocks and beach are lovely and it was a place we really relaxed into, probably because it was quite basic. Rooms were small but completely fine and loved the outdoor feel to the bathrooms. I'd go back, because it offers a chance to reset and relax with few distractions. Staff were lovely and while you got the impression they were a bit tired of tourists, underneath if you stopped being a typical tourist they opened up to you.

The staff at The Beachouse are some of my favorite people on this Earth! I have stayed here multiple times and never regret it.
