When I saw pictures of this place I instantly fell in love and booked a trip. Regardless of the fact that the room here does not have air condition.
The place turns out to be as beautiful as the pictures. I stayed here for 3 nights and really enjoyed the relaxing feel. The place is run by a French-Thai family, excellent services and really enjoyed the food here. To my surprise, I also managed to find a few decent bottles of wine here, a great add-on for my enjoyment.
As I mentioned, the bungalows here do not have air condition. I am someone almost can't live without one (in weather like Thailand), but I still think it was worth it. There is no TV in the room and WiFi connection is poor as well, better in the public/restaurant area, so do bring a book or something. I suppose it's a place for people to totally cut off their usually city-obsessions for a while.
Great bar along the beach which offers a spectacular sunset view.
It is situated away from the town, you will need a bike or car to go to town, but I do not find the need. The resort itself is nice enough for me. If you can't live without TV, WiFi, Aircon and is scared of insects or geckos, the this is probably not the place for you, but other than that, this is a perfect getaway place.

We stumbled across the place entirely by chance, and I'm so grateful we did! A stunning, family run business with a gorgeous, airy vibe and beautiful food and views! Even if you don't stay, go to watch the sunset from the beach side bar and then make the climb for dinner on the terrace overlooking the sea above. Outstanding service from this sweet family team who went above and beyond in every way (Virginie I loved the book, thank you!). The rooms are small, characterful and eco friendly (fan only) but exceptionally clean and comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer!!

We had an amazing getaway from the touristic Thailand by staying at OonLee Bungalows for 3 nights. The accommodation, run by a Thai-French family, showcases their attention to detail, evident in the absence of plastic overuse, among other small gestures. The accommodation is situated quite far away from the center of the island. However, there is a convenient motorbike rental service available just 30 minutes walk from the accommodation. Bungalow construction has holes in it so you can find insects or geckos inside but it doesn’t bother us since bed has mosquitaire. The food here is quite pricey compared to other places but it’s really delicious. You can bath on the beach near the accommodation only when it’s high tide.
Stayed here for about 10 days. It is a perfect place to relax and drift away. Far away from traffic and noise set up in the jungle with a marvelous view over the sea.|The bungalows are simple but tastefully designed, clean and there is everything you need! |The bar on the beach is led by the owner’s sons and I cannot imagine a better spot for a perfectly mixed sundowner. Or more.|Owners and staff are very helpful and friendly and take care of everything very well.|The food in the restaurant is amazing and for Thailand they offer a very nice wine menu!||We will definitely come back!

We stayed at Oon Lee Bungalows for 3 nights, we are a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 teenage boys. We loved every blissful minute.of our stay. The accommodation is simple.but beautiful with tasteful decor and thoughtful touches. The views are awesome. The restaurant serves a delicious and interesting mix of Thai and Western dishes. The service we received from owners and staff was warm and excellent and we really loved our stay.
We stayed here for 4 nights, and although the place has potential, I wouldn't recommend it.
It's quite a long dirt road to get to the place, wich was completely washed out, so accessing the other parts of the island became quite the challange. You can rent a scooter a bit closer to down, which we did, but the walk there is about 30 minutes, and the drive back up the dirt road was crazy. To the point where one person had to get off the scooter and walk, and we didn't want to risk driving there at night which further limited our ability to move around.
The owner was nice enough to give us a ride from the boat the first day, and promised the day after to drive us down to the scooter rental place. But when we showed up to get that ride 5 min before the agreed time he didn't wait and drove off without us. No warning, didn't tell any of the staff, and not even an apology when he later returned. We found this to be very rude. ( He later drove us down)
The breakfast was fantastic 5/5, the dinner was OK nothing special.
Rooms are quite dark, and not as cozy as in the pictures.

Absolutely loved my stay here. They were the most welcoming hosts! They got our taxi ride down to half the cost straight away so we didn't get ripped off.
Food was outstanding! The bar is great! Would happily go again.

This place is absolute paradise - Oon and Valerie are so hospitable. If you let them know where you’re coming from/leaving to they will arrange your transport and get you to where you need to be. The restaurant was 10/10, with traditional Thai food, as well as a French influence. The beach bar was also pure bliss, we spent hours drinking Pina Coladas and playing pool and checkers as the sun set. Would also recommend spending a night dining at Oonly, Oon’s side hustle 2km down the road, where he will cook you a whole BBQ snapper with sides. Everything is very affordable, will be back here very soon

We didn't sleep there so it's hard to tell something about the rooms. But me and my wife were coming there every evening to chill, eat and drink and play billards with sunset view. It's a lovely place with classy decor (the owner is french as far as I got it). The food is excellent and the bartenders were kind cheerful. We were coming there from other hotel nearby regretting we didn't book our stay there :)
