Overrated!!

Why this place has such a high rating? Because of its excellent location! But it’s tourist trap. The prices there are much too high compared to other nice places directly at the beach to hang out. You can go there but please mind that they...More

Made our holiday

As soon as we found this bar we were in heaven. The bar does live music every night, and fire shows. The guys at the bar are friendly, the cocktails are great and the restaurant next door is cheap and tasty...you need to go here!

Good location, AWFUL service & average food

There are plenty of cool, chilled out beach side bars in koh lanta, so there is no reason to subject yourself to this place. If you like food and drink that it twice the price but half the quality, served to you by staff who...More
