• Lovely and relaxing

  I love the location at the end of the beach and up the hill. I had a small bungalow that was just right for one or two people. It was one of the cleanest I have stayed in. The grounds are lovely with lots of plants and flowers. The beach location is perfect for sitting or walking. It was a very relaxing place to stay. Food was good, but not great, but it was priced well.

• Smile is awesome.

  I'm very surprised that people have found the staff at smile to be unfriendly. They are some of the most wonderful people I've met on my travels. I guess the moral of the story is that you get out what you put in. The staff are friendly, funny and if you build a relationship with them, rather than being an arrogant western tourist, they can't do enough for you. I intended to stay at smile for 5 days and ended up staying two weeks. I'm also going back there in a couple of weeks, because I loved the place so much. With regards to the review of the accommodation, I think it's a complete misrepresentation. My room at smile was the nicest that I've stayed in, in Thailand. I had one of the split level huts up the hill and it was great for watching the sunset etc. If you don't get smile, you don't get Bottle Beach in my opinion.

• A good place but unfriendly staff

  I can't really understand people telling that this place is run by a ''wonderful staff''... they are the most unfriendly people I've ever met in Thailand: no smiles, no thanks, no apologies. Moreover the restaurant is just ordinary: good shakes and juices, insufficient Thai dishes quality. The bungalow was OK with very nice views but I think the place is a bit overpriced even if in the end it's probably the most attractive on the beach. The beach is very nice, one of the most pleasant on Pha Ngan.

• Little piece of paradise

  Beautiful bungalows and wonderful staff!! It had a paradise "home away from home" feel to it. A place you can return to time and time again.

• Perfect Endings

  In search of a perfect beach and a paradise ending to a great holiday we stumbled upon Smile Bungalows and boy what a find!!! Service with a smile and a joke, peace and quiet when needed and lively atmosphere other times. The bungalows were great, mine a stone throws from the beach. I would have happily stayed forever.
