Description
Before the tsunami, P.P. Charlie was a popular spot with about 30 bungalows, right on the water on Ao Lo Dalam. Of course, they were all destroyed by tsunami. They've reopened, to a limited extent with a longhouse set back about 100 metres from the beach that survived the cataclysm. The first-floor rooms had their walls completely blown out, but the structure remained intact, and they've fixed up the rooms to create some very serviceable fan and air-con doubles that they've been offering at good prices. Unlike their neighbour, Palm Resort, they didn't rush to slap together some rickety piles of bamboo as a stop-gap -- they've taken their time, and are planning to have 30 new luxury, air-con bungalows constructed, a wee bit further back from the water than the old ones. As to when these will be finished we are not yet sure. All bungalows have, or will have, private bath. The bungalow prices below are estimates on our behalf, so consider them a very rough guide. It looks as though Charlie may be merged with Princess resort when it does finally receive the go-ahead to rebuild, but for now it's all a little bit up in the air. We'll keep you posted.

No complaints -

We stayed at PP Charlies in May 2006 and it has reopened - sort of. The staff quarters that is set back 100 metres from the beach remained intact, so they have refurbished it for tourists to stay in. It's pretty basic, but for the price I would definitely recommend it. We paid 400B per night for a room with a fan and private bathroom. The rooms upstairs all have air-con and are around 900baht. They also clean the rooms everyday. I asked at around 10 different places and PP Charlies was by far the cheapest. Although it is set back from the beach there is now nothing in front of it so you have a sea view and you are 20 seconds walk away from what is still a beautiful beach. We stayed about a week and had no complaints.

Because of their vantage point high on the hill, all the rooms here survived the tsunami intact and the resort reopened shortly after the event. Some of them are way, way high up on the hill, especially the fan rooms -- it's a long, hot walk to get to them, but the views down and over the bay more... more
Ciao Bella
On the beach, Ao Loh Dalam
Central to it all, Ciao Bella sits on prime beach front land just beside PP Twin Palms. There are just a handful of chic hexagonal bungalows, simple yet classic in design and made from gorgeous local hardwood. Each has air-con, hot water, and comfy beds with clean and stylish linens and decor.... more
