Description
If bungalows aren't your style, then this is the closest Pakbara has to a hotel. With its new sign and well-maintained grounds the Grand Villa is quite attractive from the outside, inside, the boxy rooms are tidy and comfortable, although a bit dreary. All rooms are air-con with double beds and TVs (sorry, Thai-language channels only). The attached western-style bathrooms are clean but austere, and the hotel really ought to invest in some hot water heaters for the showers. Of all the accommodations in town, Grand Villa is the furthest from the pier and seems a long hike if you're carrying your pack. Possibly for this reason, it's mostly frequented by package tourists with pre-arranged transportation. The seafood restaurant on the ground level only opens when the hotel is busy, and staff speak surprisingly limited English.
