If I were asked to imagine a stay in paradise, I would come up with something like La Ong Lay. Cute cottages right on the beach, comfortable with air condition and hot water (you think you do not need it in the tropics, but let me tell you, it is so nice to have a hot shower after swimming). The hosts were very attentive and welcoming. They also run a restaurant, where you practically sit right on the beach, we loved their breakfast Muesli fruit bowl and their fried banana dessert is to die for. They let us use their kayak and snorkel gears, they reserved our trip back to the main land and they brought us drinks and them delicious fruit shakes to our deck chairs, thanks to you for making our stay so enjoyable, I could go on and on about the charm of this place. Sure it is somewhat pricey for the the remote location, but well worth it.

Brilliant location and comfortable bed and pillows. It was great to have a kettle and fridge. Seats on the patio and exclusive loungers on the beach so there was always somewhere to sit outside. The sound of the sea through the day and night was perfect.

The rooms need some repairs especially the door locks. The lighting outside is too intrusive and bright a little thought and design maybe some lampshades would solve this. Light pollution ruined stargazing on the patio. The room was never dark even at night.

The location, the room (beachfront), the staff, the silence, the sound of the sea. It was a dream. I hope the beach stays as quiet as it was. I am afraid more and more people will go to Koh Phayam, destroying the silence.

The hose to clean your feet from sand was at the side of the bungalow, a bit far away, so you always had sand in the room (and bed). A bowl with water next to the entrance to clean your feet would be cool.

We had a wonderful stay at La Ong Lay. Pierre and his team couldn't have been nicer or more helpful, including when my husband hurt his foot. The bed was very comfortable and we had a view of the beach... It was all very peaceful, and we felt able to completely relax at La Ong Lay.. The kayaks and snorkelilng equipment were free to borrow and the snorkelling was incredible... The sunsets and the beach are very beautiful too...

Location is excellent right on the beach. Comfortable beds and linens. Very clean with great daily housekeeping. Efficiently managed by very nice managers and team who work very hard to make you happy. Good restaurant and food. Good air con.

Bungalows are a bit shabby and need some maintenance. Entrance to property and river behind could use some cleanup. Prices for second row units should be cheaper. Overall price is too high for the quality of the units.

The rooms are as close to the beach as you would wish for. The owners are truly the sweetest and so welcoming. The rooms are fairly basic in style but on the opposite end of the spectrum they have a fridge, kettle and teas, coffees etc. water is provided and air con was great. Shampoo, shower gel AND conditioner was also provided. I liked the vibe a lot. It was relaxing, calm and just gave us a perfect end to our stay on the island.

Honestly, despite the rooms being quite simple, I still really loved it!

We have stayed here on multiple occasions now. The accommodation is great and the location is perfect, at the end of the beach so very peaceful and quiet. The owners are lovely to deal with, we will be back

We booked late and had a small room but it was still great. Has everything you need including a sea view

Perfect beach shack, on the quiet end of the beach that feels private, safe and quaint. You don't need much here other than a bed for the night as the location is so beautiful you will always be relaxing outside. We plan to come back every year. Thank you ka.

Nothing, it was perfect.

The bungalows are super fresh and beautiful!! Cleaned daily ! Super cozy

Everything ! The location is great, the food is amazing, the property is so beautiful and well taken care of. You can borrow for free, kayaks and snorkels as well as kids toys and books. Great food amazing friendly staff and owners. It has it all !!

Beautiful location right on the softest Sandy part of the long beach. very friendly staff. The bungalow has a nice size bed and a spacious large bed with very clean and soft sheets. Very good and intact mosquito net.

Noise at night from the nearby rasta bar on some of the nights, thankfully not all the nights! Not many places to put your stuff, could use some shelves or hooks. The walls have a lot of cracks for a little animals to come in, thankfully the location of the beach is not as populated by animals as it would be inside the jungle.
