Smile Bungalows

Just awesome, the beach, the hotel, the staff... I suggest to buy big 5lt bottles of water before going as they don't sell any, just 1.5lt. Ask for the pick-up directly at the pier, it's cheaper and faster than by boat.

Bottle Beach is amazing. Unfortunately Smile Bungalows wasn't. It wasn't expensive, granted. But there are just a few things that could be improved and they could ask for $5 more per night and it still would be fine. Like the internet or re-occuring power cuts (which are really no fun when you only have a fan cooling you). The main reception guy was often very unfriendly. They kicked me out of my room at 10.30, although check-out was at 12, saying new guests are there... SO? Food was nice though and they took good care of the area. All other staff was nice, too.

We had a superior bungalow which was actually up quite a few steps up a steep hill and the bathroom was downstairs which was a challenge in the night. First night we come back there was a rat in the room, we chased it to the bathroom and it boldly lifted the shower drain and went inside. There were droppings everywhere which we stood in. Reported this next day and they said they would solve and clean the room, when we got back there was more droppings so we moved to a cheaper bungalow as that is all they had. In there were more droppings and what appeared to be a half eaten cockroach on the bed. As we were leaving the next day we were very happy to leave. Bottle beach is quiet if that's your thing but everything closes really early. Staff were friendly and helpful.
