The Blue Gecko

I have travelled around Thailand for a month and this was one of my last stops. Out of every hotel I stay this was my favourite one. The staff were SO helpful with everything. They helped me book speed boats and gave me recommendations to all the best places. I rented a scooter from them and it was in good condition and super convenient for the island. The breakfast that was included was delicious and the hotel rooms are super comfortable. Overall I would say my favourite thing about this place is the staff. All of them are amazing, friendly and kind people.

This is NOT a luxury 5 Star resort. It is basic accommodation but it does it very well. The owner, George, has thought through his cottages very carefully. Everything, including furnishings are made from poured concrete but it works very effectively. Nothing is broken and there is no rot or mold anywhere. The mattress was very comfortable and every cottage has a porch with 2 chairs and a small round table. The shower stall and bathroom sink is spotless with nice tiles throughout. The shower has plentiful hot water. Everything was painted nicely and George was renovating the public restrooms. There are multiple sitting areas. All windows are black glass with heavy blackout curtains so a sleep in is actually possible. The A/C is quiet and effective. The bar fridge is very cold. This is all located a 2 minute walk to a beach about 100m wide and almost 2 km long with clear, calm water. Multiple restaurants, massage parlours, scuba stores and scooter rentals are all within a 2 minute walk. George is an intelligent and very knowledgeable person and well worth some time spent chatting with. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The prices per night are unbelievable. We highly recommend the Blue Gecko.

Amazing service! What an amazing service!! George the owner couldn’t do enough for me, if there was anything I asked for he fixed it! I was working on this trip and the wifi in my bungalow was not so stable, George even bought a router and put it in my bungalow, that’s service beyond average! The people working in the reception and the cleaners are so friendly as well. The bungalow was clean and the bathroom was renovated so nothing to complain about here either! The place is located close to the beach and you have the main street close as well with many shops and restaurants. There is a proper gym as well just 5 minutes walk. I will definitely come back to this place! Thank you so much for taking so good care of me🌺
