The friendliest most lovely staff and amazing breakfast. We stayed 4 nights. Pros: Wonderful staff who went above and beyond. Really comfortable beds. Two lovely pools. We all enjoyed feeding the many fish and turtles. The staff kindly gave a lots of bread to feed them. The breakfast was delicious. Great value for money. Cons: They only served breakfast when we were there (Low season?). But there are other options nearby. We have 7-11 meals two nights, which the staff kindly heated up for us. Some parts of the resort need a bit of a refresh.

“Pretty nice little resort in a pretty not nice area...”

I was pleasantly surprised by this cute little resort. The bungalows were placed in a nicely designed garden with small streams with fish, little waterfalls, lots of trees and two big pools. Even a sand bottom pool, which was cleaner than the previous reviewer suggested. Though some of the gardens were in disrepair and need some maintenance, it was generally a very pleasant place to be. Our bungalow was clean and cute, and had an outdoor shower which is rare for a place like this. Also, a great breakfast! But I wish I was able to look past the trash on the beach and the broken down buildings in the area, like the locals seem to do. Thais somehow seem unaffected by this, but for me to stand on what could be a beautiful beach, and have to walk around endless cups, plastic bags, pieces of washed up trash, colours my experience of being there. Why the local government doesn't have a program to clean up one of its precious resources never ceases to amaze me. So enjoy the resort, and the good seaside seafood restaurants just down the soi. But put your blinders on...

“Some charm, some quirks, some work needed”

I got 3 nights here at a very good rate, so looking at the prices now, I think I got value from my stay here. First, let me explain how to get there. Bangkok to Rayong bus terminal 1, where I then had to get a Songtaew to bus terminal 2. Then from bus terminal 2, another songtaew that went to Mae… more

I got 3 nights here at a very good rate, so looking at the prices now, I think I got value from my stay here. First, let me explain how to get there. Bangkok to Rayong bus terminal 1, where I then had to get a Songtaew to bus terminal 2. Then from bus terminal 2, another songtaew that went to MaeRamPhueng road. It is a bit long winded, but gets you right to the bottom of the lane that Ohana is located on. From the lane to the resort, it's only a 100metre walk. The surrounding area is a mass of seafood restaurants, with the nearest 7/11 being another 30 minute walk down a dark, stray-dog littered, road. My recommendation is to phone for a motorbike hire - these are usually from 100฿, and there is a hire poster on the lane. Resort only had 2 guests the whole time i was there, myself and a small family; so it was very quiet. Therefore it wasn't surprising nobody was on reception when we arrived. There are about 4-5 dogs and a cat that run about the restaurant area of the resort (more on this later), so if you have allergies, or phobias, you are best to avoid eating there. The staff will usually chase them out, but in an open access eating area, they always find a way back in. Oh, and yes, they come and sit staring at you whilst you eat. Great fun... Not. Room was dinky and comfortable and the tv is excellent- be wise and take your own USB to play movies, as the tv channels are all crap. There are 4 bottles fresh water left every day, a floor bed which is surprisingly comfortable, and an excellent shower, both inside and outside. There are no hangers or wardrobe area, nor an iron, so pack accordingly. They do supply shampoo, conditioner and shower gel - however our room's supply of the latter was empty throughout our stay. The pool area is very relaxing for morning and evening sits. Now the big issue. I got food poisoning on the first night from the restaurant. Rather badly too. Fever, shakes, and awful diaherrea. My partner went out to look for medicine, which the staff at front desk had, but she spent the night working to keep my fever down. I am used to Thai food, lived here 3 years in fact. However, my illness after dinner hit me very quickly. Now, my partner was fine even though we ate the exact same food (she is thai), but with the amount of dogs walking about the restaurant, it made me feel uneasy about food prep in the kitchen. It made me reluctant to go back, but i stupidly gave them the benefit of the doubt and had a 550฿ 'sirloin steak' the following night. This was 60% gristle, served with cold mash potato. Breakfast is sizeable, but average. I never touched the eggs, but the toast assortment did the job. The 'Americano' coffee was the WORST I have ever had the displeasure of tasting. They offer rice soup, yoghurts, and fruit too. The problem is that you kind of have to eat here, as the seafood restaurants are the only other option in the area. Just be sure to pack immodiums and ENO drinking salts. It is a nice resort in a poor area for entertainment/amenities. If you get a price around 1400/night then it is worth a shot. Just be aware of what I've mentioned.
