What we say:

The stilt bungalows of Le Dugong almost look as if they were snatched from a Polynesian island -- they're simple, stylish, and fit nicely into the natural jungle vibe of Ko Libong. All of the bungalows are made from natural materials, with thatched roofs, bamboo furnishings, and wood verandas, and each are rustic but comfortable with firm beds, mosquito nets, and large open-air cold-water bathrooms. They also have good air flow. In fact, Le Dugong's bungalows appear to have been designed by the same person who did Libong Beach Resort's fan bungalows next door -- if it weren't for the oddly placed basin sinks at Le Dugong, the interiors would be practically identical.The grounds are shaded by coconut trees, and the restaurant is housed in an attractive open-air structure, with wooden pillars and a plank floor. In season, they have internet available, and they're happy to rent out canoes, kayaks and motorbikes. The staff's English is limited, but they do their best to keep guests happy.

Good choice

Stayed in the bigger bungalow for 900 baht per night. Comfortable bed with mosquito net, ''outdoor'' bathroom with cold shower and toilet, very clean (of course there are ants, but this is SE Asia), very occasional toilet smell. The room was also clean although showing some signs of ageing. Nice veranda with seaview (nice for sunset). Nice staff but limited english. Food/breakfast nothing special, we mostly went next door to the beach resort (where the bear is much cheaper as well...). Very quiet at night. The beach is nice but only suitable for swimming/snorkelling at high tide. Small village is a 10 minutes walk away with basic shop. They said there was internet but I didn't see a computer. There's (expensive) internet at the beach resort next door. I definitely recommend this quiet island and this resort.

Good resort in a good location

Le Dugong is right next door to Libong Beach Resort on a nice uncrowded and quite long beach which can easily support 2 resorts. Le Dugong only has 10 bungalows. 8 bigger flashpacker types with bathrooms(900 high season web-rate) and 2 smaller outside toilet ones. The interior of the bigger places looked a step-up in quality from the normal beach bungalow. My elcheapo bungalow was not all that cheap at 400 web-rate for an outside bathroom job. This was a box with a veranda. Just enough room for 2 and their gear. Double mattress firm but comfy, ditto pillows. Mozzie net had 100 repairs and another 50 small flaws but I had no problems. No doormat or bin but soap+towel+toilet paper supplied. Good lights. Clean, in good condition although some veranda timber already showing weathering after only 18 months or less (Le Dugong didn’t exits when I stayed next door in March 07). Very quiet at night. Veranda nice place to sit for sea views. Outside bathroom immediately behind also the restaurant bathroom. Twin showers, twin squat toilets, 2 urinals, 2 showers with good water pressure, 2 big basins ideal for washing but bring your own mulit-fit plug, 2 huge mirrors. Clean. The grounds are nicely manicured with hammocks, picnic tables, sitting cabanas - the beach clean, kayaks, snorkelling gear for hire. Food prices just a little more than average budget bungalows, service good, cooking a bit slow (but for most of my stay I was the only guest and I suppose they were cooking a lot from scratch), meal quality fine.
