"1. **Hotel Location:** The hotel is situated on a small beach, just a short distance from Diamond Beach, which is only about a 6-7 minute walk away. The 7-Eleven on the main street is also roughly a ten-minute walk.
2. **Hotel Environment & Facilities:** The setting is lovely; it operates as a resort. I stayed in a standalone bungalow, surrounded by garden paths. It's very close to the sea; you can reach the beach within two or three minutes of stepping out of your room. However, there are quite a lot of mosquitoes on the island, so remember to take precautions against them.
3. **Hotel Service:** The service was good. The front desk staff were very patient and answered all my questions. I initially booked one night through Ctrip, then extended my stay by booking another night directly at the hotel. When I repeatedly compared online and offline prices and inquired at the front desk, the staff patiently addressed all my queries. When moving luggage, staff members will deliver it from the front desk to your room. Free towels are available at the front desk, and the row of beach loungers by the hotel's beach can be used for free. Just remember to return the towels to the front desk after use.
4. **Hotel Facilities & Hygiene:** The room has a hairdryer. I didn't use their toiletries, so I don't remember if they were provided. Hygiene was my biggest complaint. There might have been dust mites on the bed, as I was itching all over and couldn't sleep for both nights I stayed.
**Additional Notes:** The hotel explicitly states they do not use MSG, and their own restaurant also refrains from using it, which offers peace of mind when dining. One evening, we considered trying a restaurant located near the hotel entrance (not affiliated with the hotel). When we asked if they used MSG, the waiter replied that they could note 'no MSG' for us 😓, which immediately scared us off, and we quickly left. Oh, and the hotel restaurant has a performance around 8 PM, but you need to tip the performers after the show."
