Phutawan Bamboo Bungalow

I had sent a courteous email to the resort asking to refund my stay before arriving as I was too ill to make it over from Koh Lanta, having to stay longer there after new year. The property didn’t respond to my request at all until I sent a chaser email through booking.com, in which they refused to give me a refund due to it being around Christmas and new year. Very unfair considering the circumstances. Zero empathy and like the rest of Phi Phi, complete money grabbers targeting western tourists.

This place is amazing.. We where picked up by the ferry and the "carried" all our luggage to the resort. The resort is on top of a very steep hill, but they have a small truck to bring your luggage up and down. When we got to the resort they gave us cold water. The bungalow was AMAZING.. The beds a little hard, but you get used to that. There is a lot of mosquitos, but you have a mosquitos net and if you remember your mosquito spray it's no problem to be on the small veranda outside. The staff is very helpful and friendly, they helped us book a full day tour and gave us a good discount. We liked the place so much that we booked two more nights, again they gave us discount on the last two nights. One day the had watermelon for all guests... The free the and coffee is another big plus!

We go off the ferry and there was a guy waiting for us, which was nice. The bungalows are situated a good 15-20 minute walk from the ferry up quite a steep hill. There are not many amenities at this resort, It is a room and a shower. The room was clean, we had a fan and the bathroom was not to bad although the electric shower did not work. Could not get the WiFi to work either. There is a banging nightclub on this side of the bay so don't expect to many early nights or take ear plugs.......Take a walk to the viewpoint its worth it....don't wear flip flops as I did though !
