The hotel offers amazing rooms with superb views and a free mini-bar but may not be suitable for elderly people or families due to being built in a hilly area. However, the presence of bugs like mosquitoes and cockroaches can be a downside after a day of touring at sea.

The hotel offers stunning views, but the rooms lack acoustic isolation. The longtail boat to my room was a nice touch from other guests.

The hotel offers simplistic and comfortable rooms with balconies that provide a relaxing atmosphere. The wooden architecture and exotic sea views create a serene ambiance. The cleanliness and jungle-like feel through big windows were impressive, though the noise from long boats could disrupt sleep. The location, despite being scenic, required a long walk to reach major spots. Dining was pleasant, offering a great selection but was a bit underwhelming for a resort. Overall, a good value for money choice with genuinely friendly service.

Staying at Great View was an absolute delight. The rooms are beautifully designed, and the tote bag with towels and a beach mat provided proved to be really useful since there are no sunbeds available. Be prepared for some uphill walking depending on your room location, but it's worth it for the stunning rooms we stayed in.
