Guest UserGet this hotel!!! We were supposed to stay for a night and then decide what to do - we ended up staying 3 nights and were very sad to leave.
Every so often when you travel your hotel experience significantly improved your holiday - this was one of those cases! First of all the basics, we were looking for a nice family friendly hotel walking distance from the beach - and this certainly fit that category. The rooms are fine, you could see the sea from the windows, comfortable beds, pretty clean, slippers, plenty of towels, wifi everywhere etc. There was also a small playground for small kids and hammocks (picture) etc which was cool, we also saw mahjong tables, but didn't have the time to play.
The hotel is located near a fairly large field, filled with exotic birds, butterflies and crickets etc. There were also geckos everywhere (love them), but we didn't see any inside the room. There were some mosquitos outside on the terrace (don't love them), but the repellent took care of those and we didn't have any in our rooms. Felt like you were near nature, in a good way.
The kids loved to play on the beach, it's great for sand castles (the hotel had buckets and shovels free of charge) and searching for crabs, fish, shells, sea snails etc... The moms loved it too, especially to walk around and explore during low tide. (the hotel also provided equipment to catch crabs and other sea creatures etc if you wanted to - they also had a service to cook them for you) We especially enjoyed playing under a nearby pier during low tide to avoid getting badly sunburned.
The supermarket across the street sell dozens of single malt whiskys and beer from all over the world (they also have ice cream and other stuff) - and the dads recommend the roof terrace for that after the kids are asleep. (picture)
If you know how to ride a scooter/ebike they rent them across the road too, and it's the best way to explore the island. The small roads (almost devoid of cars) were awesome to drive on, just remember to stay safe.
I don't usually care much about breakfast, but the included breakfast was great! (picture) The kitchen staff was also super laid-back about the whole thing - this whole hotel radiated a very laid back tropical island feel that made you forget you were in China.
However the reason I write this review is because of the owner. (last picture) (I'm not sure if he speaks English though, but I'm sure you'll manage) Super chill guy! Immediately after booking he contacted us to arrange the transport from the boat. He helped us buy tickets for the trip back. He was willing to come and pick us up at any time if we got lost on the island. He had great recommendations about basically everything, and whenever we made plans we were sure to ask for his advice. He was basically always reachable over wechat too.
These are just some of the things that he didn't have to provide, but did (or offered): unlimited cold drinking water, ice, proper glasses, a coffee grinder, buckets, shovels, hats, umbrellas, sunscreen, aloe vera plants, flashlights, mosquito repellent etc etc and it feels like we only scratched the surface. It feels like whenever I asked him for something he always had a solution that exceeded my expectations. Great host!
I've traveled to almost 100 countries and while this wasn't the fanciest hotel I've stayed in by any means, this was one of the most memorable hotel experiences I've ever had. If anyone I know plans to visit this island I will for sure recommend this place.

Our stay at this wonderful hotel was nothing short of magical. The accommodation is a true gem on the island, and the beautiful Arabic flair creates a stunning, captivating atmosphere.

Posted on Feb 23, 2026|Slow Point Double Bed Room
Guest UserOverall, I was very satisfied with both the environment and the room. There was a starfruit tree next to the pool, and the hotel had nets to catch any you wanted. On the other side of the pool was a jackfruit tree, which had just started to bear some tiny fruits; the rest won't be ripe until June. The complimentary welcome fruits were tangerines and cherry tomatoes, both of which were delicious.
The breakfast was excellent, all set meals, and you could ask for more if you wanted, as long as you didn't waste any. The sandwiches came with milk, mixed nuts, sweet potatoes, and corn; the noodles, although in a clear broth, were very tasty and came with a nine-compartment side dish; we didn't order the porridge, but it also came with a nine-compartment side dish, as well as steamed buns and eggs.

Guest UserThe room was clean and tidy, just like in the photos and promotional videos. The shower had plenty of hot water and good pressure. Great value for money.
You can rent electric scooters to tour the island.
The owner was incredibly warm and generous, offering excellent shuttle service and lots of practical sightseeing advice.
They also offer seafood preparation services at a fair price, and the stir-fried dishes were generously portioned. We bought some seafood back and enjoyed it with drinks in their courtyard – a truly wonderful experience.

Excellent service - the hotel staff organised a pickup from the pier for us, provided information about a natural phenomenon that was happening on the island while we were there (blue plankton蓝眼泪 or ”blue tears”).
The location is perfect, very close to the beach and away from crowds. There is a lovely man living in front of the hotel and renting scooters. You can rent one from him and explore the island.
The only drawback is the walls are very thin and you can hear people outdoors and in the corridor. Also, the smell in the room is a bit musty.

Posted on Oct 23, 2025|180° Ocean-view Double Bed Room (Sea-view Tub + Disposable Tub Bag + Sea-view Balcony)
Yonghuyonghu1346792580Perfect sea-view room! The location is superb, right by the beach. The 180° unobstructed sea view offers an incredibly expansive vista. The room is well-equipped, and the soundproofing is excellent, making it exceptionally quiet at night. The service is attentive; they answer every question. The value for money is absolutely fantastic. I've already recommended it to friends who are planning a visit!

The location is excellent, but there are a lot of mosquitoes🦟. I was bitten several times within half an hour of arriving. When I entered the room, I found that the balcony door was open, and a bunch of mosquitoes🦟 were flying around. It didn't work even if I lit mosquito coils~
The air conditioning was average. The room we booked was on the first floor. Because of the age, the hotel equipment was relatively old. There was a huge cigarette hole🕳️ on the sofa🛋️…
I don't know if the swimming pool was not open and there was no water. The breakfast was hard to describe. There were so many things, but none of them looked fresh.
When I was eating breakfast, I looked out the window and saw a big mop hanging there. I lost my appetite~
Service praise for the security guard on duty that day. I forgot something on the electric car🛵, and the electric car🛵 was charging. He took us to find the things very late in the night. It was heartwarming.
