Just up the trail that runs behind Souksan, Miss Noy's is one of the favourite sunset spots on the island with a regular throng of people who pile into their well-placed hammocks -- for a beer or a toke an hour before sunset -- and then disappear straight after. If you plan on staying for the night, Noy has tidy little thatch and rattan bungalows all with clean shared bathrooms -- they are, however, nearly all well off the water's edge.

little eden paradise - 5th May, 2009
Stayed at Little Eden for 2 nights and what a joy. The rooms are spacious and very clean with an excellent shower. They are very well built concrete bungalows, which makes for a great quiet nights sleep in their huge comfy beds. The owner Noy and her husband Matthew and family are wonderful. Matthew is from Belgium, and his service and manner is really first class. Attentive, but not intrusive, we enjoyed spending time with him on the fantastic restaurant verandah. The sunset here really is special, accompanied by a lao lao margherita that was a real revelation, and top quality food, try the belgium fries with mayo, delicious. The lao food is also beautiful, the fish in banana leaf was a personal favourite. It's a little more expensive than the rest of Don Dhett, we paid 130,000 a night, but in this case you really do get what you pay for.

lovely, lovely, lovely - 4th May, 2009
When we stayed it was still called Noy's but they have changed the name to Little Eden now. The name change is very appropriate as thats just what this place is. We looked at several places on Don Dhet and Eden is definately the best in terms of comfort, cleanliness and huge comfy beds. The food at the restaurant is a bit dearer than the rest of the island but the standards reflect that; there is a good choice and genuine Laos dishes (which are hard to find on DD). Noy and Matthiew really made us feel at home so much so that we lost a day somewhere! The sunsets ahhhhh!

Relaxing, Beautiful Surrounding - 18th January, 2007
I stayed at Miss Noys for 2 days in November and it was quite pleasant. They have a restaraunt overlooking the river and it is the best place on the island to enjoy the sunset over a few drinks.The food is OK and moderately priced(although most places offer about the same price for anything). The Lao Lao with orange juice is refreshing anytime of day, and their are hammocks in the bungalows. They also offer rolling papers on the menu. All in all it's a pleasant little spot. When I visited there were only a few others there, but the restaraunt can pick up quick in the evenings for picture sessions of the setting sun.
