Sunset Huts features reams of bungalows of all different sizes, originally basic bamboo or wooden but now reinforced or in some cases rebuilt with cement. Those by the sea look out over the rocky beach and on high tide the balconies literally overhang the water. The downside is lack of a bathroom, those further back have less poetic views, with a fan and hot water shower, standard in all en-suite rooms, as well as a mosquito net. Right at the back are a few more solid bungalows with which a little extra effort has been made. The wooden platform restaurant on a little promontory affords great views out to sea, owing homage to Treehouse for its design. It's a much better option than Siam Hut in the same range.

Sunset Huts reviews

Read 2 opinions from Travelfish readers

Not bad - 14th August, 2007
Had a bungalow here, avoided the bathroooms. It's decent for a drunken **** of a few nights. Don't expect anything more. Lonely Beach is truly an ignorant hole not worth visiting, fall in and find yourself immersed in a place overrun by farang jerks and snobby boneheads. I will never visit this beach again. It's depressing and not worth a moment of life.

Good fun and well priced - 4th September, 2009
Moved here after staying a first night on Lonely Beach in a cockroach infested hellhole... As long as you get one of the concrete sealed huts, this place is great. Had one overlooking the sea, with private bathroom, for 300B a night (low season prices, but still a bargain) Restaurant is a great place to chill and meet people, and the staff are very good fun and willing to have a drink and chat with you when they're not working. Lots of dogs roaming around but thats like most of Koh Chang, not a lot the owners can do about it. All in all I really recommend Sunset. In contrast to the above reviewer, I found Lonely Beach to be very chilled out and fun, maybe because I was in off season, but it certainly didnt seem to be a place bursting with drunken idiots even in high season
