Bulone Resort
Family-friendly resort on the island's best beach

What we say: 
Occupying the best stretch of sand on Bulon, Bulone Resort is one of the first sights on arrival and easily the island's most popular resort. Bulone is a big hit with families who have young children -- the restaurant has a great sea view but it can seem like a playground with all the kids cartwheeling about. They've a wide selection of bungalows to choose from, ranging from clean wooden seaside family villas with multiple bedrooms to small bamboo shacks with grotty separate bathrooms. All bungalows have fans, mosquito nets, balconies with two chairs, and come with towels and quality linens. It's a family business, and the staff are very sincere, welcoming and helpful. Internet is available for 3 baht per minute in the evenings once the electricity has been switched on. Even if not staying here it's the best place to inquire about boats heading to Pakbara and elsewhere since Bulone Resort acts as the de facto port of the island. It's also the only resort on Ko Bulon that stays completely open year-round, and prices are negotiable during the slow months.

Paradise on earth
What a beautiful place! Koh Bulon Lae is a hidden gem, so beautiful. This resort has beautiful and great bungalows, not cheap. The food is excellent, friendly staff (although they seem very busy all the time). Very child-friendly, we stayed with our twin daughters of 3-years old, who had a great time here. There seem to be good few kids, so no shortage of friends to play with. There are two women giving massages, they're very good and nearly always fully booked. The beach in front of the resort is the best, so clean and beautiuful. The whole island is picture-perfect.

Gt location-overpriced huts
My 800b second row bungalows was overpriced. It lacked toilet paper, fan, blanket, one window curtain, comp water, hammock & had a squat toilet + flawed mozzie net . Plusses incl size, clean except area under balcony, comfy queen size bed, plenty of storage, good mirror, sink with plug, soap dispenser, gd water pressure, nice balcony but plastic chairs made in 1970. I moved to 450b beachside no bathroom job. Still overpriced. Big, clean, same bed as 800, great position with balcony overlooking beach and bay. But no towel, veranda light, fan, toilet paper, comp water, top-sheet, blanket or hammock. Outside bthrm blocks ranged from grotty to ok. Spacious grounds not well lit at night. Restaurant big, okay food, most prices & service good. Lge beers 100b bit exxy. Cheap, big coffee. White sand beach nice but badly eroded, much disappears high tide, but excellent starting 100m east and continuing in a curve for a further 300m. Water varies from a bit shallow to ok at low tide.

Kindergarten Resort
If you love kids, if you go with family, you better choose this resort. This is the ideal place for you. You can leave your kids with other kids and the staffs are familiar with kids, they can take care of your kids when you need your own private. I stayed there alone and I don't really love kids!! The beach is very nice, the food from its restaurant is also good. But next time I go there, I will try another resort which is more quiet. I don't want to wake up very early morning because of the baby's screaming and crying sound. And for 800 baht (beach front bungalow), I think it's a bit too expensive for a squat toilet. The rest is fine with me as its location is the best.
