Jep's Bungalows
Most popular on the beach
What we say: 
Jep's reception feels like a boutique hotel, with soft lighting and classy decorations. That feeling wears off once you see the rooms as while Jep's is trying hard to move upmarket, most of its rooms remain decidedly average. Each room is different... some with small single beds, some with large double beds... some dark, some with lots of light. Ask to see several rooms before you decide. The accommodation is well kept and clean, though some rooms are a bit scruffy. And though their top-end rooms are comfortable, they lack the style of top-end resorts elsewhere on the island, and aren't worth the splurge (avoid the VIP room). The restaurant is the most popular on the beach, and draws a keen afternoon crowd. Though service can be absurdly slow (20 minutes for a beer!), it's generally friendly. The menu boasts dishes from several continents and the results can be varied — stick with Thai cuisine if you want guaranteed success. In the mornings, a coffee bar offers fresh baked goods while a Thai-style breakfast area serves up som tam and kai yaang. In the evenings they have a large barbecue with fresh fish and meats, potatoes and corn on the cob. The mellow feel is aided by the jazz which is played over the beach.

Great rooms
I visited Jep's place from Tuesday to Thursday in November. The walk in rate was 1000B for a rather big air-con bungalow with private bathroom and hot shower. And 300B for a fan room with shared bathroom (between 6 rooms), missing the hot shower. Both looked very clean and comfortable, I decided for the latter as it had an awesome value for money. The shared bathroom was clean and in good condition, maybe they showed me new buildings!? The location was pretty nice, Ao Hin Khok was the most quiet beach of the upper 4 (Hat Sai Kaew to Ao Pudsa). And it was shortest way to the busy restaurants and parties at Hat Sai Kaew and Ao Phai. The restaurant was rather expensive, hence I decided to eat at Hat Sai Kaew most of the time.

Myth fan rooms a bit of a scam...
We stayed for two nights in August 2010 before moving to the Naga Bungalows. They seem to be running a bit of a scam when on check in they say all the fan ensuite rooms are full (they only have 3) but if you check into another type of room (they try to upsell you to the 1,000baht a/c) they will hold the fan bungalow for you if someone checks out. However, the next morning you are informed that they actually don't hold rooms for people at all and it's on a first come/first served basis. The manager said if we wanted the room we would have to sit in reception and see if someone checked out. We left instead and met two other couples this had happened to. Otherwise shared facilities were ok (lots of mozzies though) and the room was basic but clean enough.

Mixed opinions!
We arrived at Jeps without booking and stayed in the AC room for 1200b, which was way over our budget. Overpriced accommodation, and to be honest it was cold at night and we didn't use the AC. We moved to the shared bathroom rooms for 300b (which are not mentioned above - they only have 6) and the room was great. Good size, clean and with a TV and fan! The walls were very thin though and if you have mad neighbors like we did don't expect too much sleep. Great location, right on the beach. Food is good, though we tried an Indian dish, and it was over priced and poor. Great shakes and toasties. Internet overpriced. Would recommend.
