We stayed at Kapas Turtle Valley for 3 nights and really enjoyed it. I have never experienced such nice and helpful staff, just great (greetings to Sha, who took us by boat to an island; because we had forgotten our towel there and refused to tip afterwards!) The food was also excellent. The beach is also very suitable for snorkeling and kayaks can be rented free of charge. In general the island is super beautiful and we even saw baby turtles 🥰 We would love to come back!!

Unfortunately we didn't like our accommodation, the Hornbill family room with a neighboring room. It was directly above the restaurant with corresponding noise and smells of food. We had imagined it differently. It rained heavily twice in different places. Everything else seemed very simple and familiar to us. The food, on the other hand, was very good and the staff were really very friendly. Overall the facility is very good. Unfortunately, the condition of the corals on the beach is bad. Largely dead.

Simple and typical bungalows on the beach with fan. It's clean. The place is quiet, well it all depends on the neighbors we have at the time. We spent two nights in this place, it was pleasant. The evening meals are wonderful, as are the cocktails. And the prices are very reasonable for the region.
