A mixed bag of cheap huts

What we say:

SB Cabana, located across the street from the beach in southern Sairee, offers budget accommodation that attracts mostly backpackers and other thrifty travellers. SB's sprawling grounds contain a potpourri of different bungalows. The best bets are actually the cheaper rooms in the building behind the reception. These rooms are very large and well-kept, and the bedding is good and white. The bungalows on the other hand are large but most of them are very worn, both inside and out. If you're lucky, you could get one of a handful of newer huts that are the same price but in much better shape, but these are always the first to go. It's what you'd expect for an old-style budget resort and is one of only a handful of pennywise options on the beach.

Just plain dissapointing

My wife and I stayed here a few days and will not return to SB Cabana. We rented one of the concrete air-con units in the back. One of the worst we ever stayed. No water pressure to speak of. They did not clean the room or make the bed. Bricks for pillows and wood for mattresses. Staff not very friendly. I'd say they were mostly indifferent. My wife is Thai and even she did not trust them. It's like this at some places on Ko Tao. It just seems that some of the local businesses have a resentment toward the traveller.Oh well. It is a very small part of the whole place.

Bricks for Pillows.

Although this was cheap cheap this accommodaiton was all that was available to me on the day of arriving. The bed was hard as you like, the sheet on the matress kept coming off in the night, the pillows were like bricks. The shower was on some sort of pulse the whole time so you couldnt get a good rise of your hair (for girls this is essential!!) I think this was 300B per night. Although i was a girl travelling on my own i did feel safe here.. just didnt get a very good nights sleep!
