This property is nothing less than a SCAM. BEWARE OF STAYING HERE. long story short, the room we booked had no pictures on the website. When we arrived we were surprised to see that the room is dirty, built in a very unsafe and incomplete way. There were BUGS all over the shower which was not fully blocked from the outside. Sheets were dirty. When trying to reach the staff for an option to move a room the staff was rude and unpleasant. We ended up checking out ONE DAY AFTER CHECKING IN because of how underwhelming and inconvenient was the “room”. I sincerely recommend anyone to find an alternative and stay away from there. P.s While struggling with our own room we met another girl who booked 12 days at the resort, who had to manage a room where the shower has NO DOOR AND THERE ARE SNAILS ALL OVER THE FLOOR….

We had a lovely stay here, we had only planned to stay one night but couldn’t resist a second, the lady who owns it was just super lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful, and the food was lovely!! Perhaps a little more expensive if your tight back packers like us but totally worth it, hence our second night!

+ : The location and beach are unique and beautiful. Relax and friendly atmosphere.- : No breakfast before 9 am, no lunch before 2 pm, orders take minimum 45 min to 1 hour to get ready. The room is very basic and would need some maintenance (holes in mosquitoe net, paint, not much space to store anything.It's a lovely place, perfectly located which needs some very basic fix to improve the whole experience.

This hotel is just perfect! From the staff to the location, drinks and food!

HCPR... This is a place for the traveler, the backpacker, and the adventurous. To some this will not be comfortable, but everything you need is provided and it readily can become "home" when you given it a chance. My bungalow had a mosquito net, fan, hot water, and towels. There is good wifi in the reception area, and the chef for the Indian restaurant is incredible. The reception area is right on the water's edge, and there is a friendly mix of people that keep the place running. Most of the staff are volunteers, traveling for months on end and earning their stay by working. They have incredible stories and a wealth of insight! Haad Chao Phao is located just a little south of Samma Karuna's, a known yoga venue. It is an easy walk to many cafes, beaches, shops, and bars. There are scooters and laundry services immediately near the entrance. Taxis are also readily available, and reception can call one for you if you'd like. If you are looking for a nice resort with air conditioning and room service, this is not the place. If you're looking to meet people and have a place to safely store your things between exploration and sleeping, then you'll be happy here!

We booked the Basic Room, 1 King Bed - according to the photo a BAMBOO BUNGALOW (we were especially looking for that type !) but the bamboo type bungalows are all a thing of the past at Hadd Chao Phao. Heavy construction work on so called "modern bungalows" is on now.
