What we say: 3.5 stars

The wick is starting to wear down on this candle, but it's still a good bet for a budget bed. Candle Light has basic wooden bungalows overlooking the beach. Though the interiors are a little worn, they're still cute, with a mishmash of colours and patterns. The huts all have lots of light and decent toilets. Very friendly and accommodating staff is an extra asset. The large wooden huts with porches are fan-cooled with cold-water baths, while the concrete air-con huts have hot water. This is one of the few places left on Samet where you can enjoy nothing but sand between your hut and the water. A telephone booking is highly recommended as it is often full, particularly on the weekends. The sign is hidden so look for the completely out-of-place concrete bar by the beach and ask for help there.
