Secret Garden

It's okay to stay for a couple of nights. Everything is a bit old, and feels like not very well looked after. There was food residue in kitchen sink drain. Some of the dishes were dirty. No complimentary bottles of water. No shower gel, just a bottle of diluted liquid soap. Pillows aren't good. Also, there's a school nearby so it's noisy from around 8am onwards.

Great stay in nature with a lovely pool. Charlie (the man who runs it) was incredibly helpful and gave us loads of great locations and spots to visit all over the island. He sorted mopeds for us and was extremely kind and friendly. We tried to leave a tip with him at the end, to which he politely declined, simply stating that he loves helping people and wants them to have a great time. Couldn't recommend this place more

El jardín y la piscina son bonitos.las habitaciones anticuadas..material de cocina algo desfasado y las sábanas muy usadas. La chica de la limpieza nos preguntó el segundo día para limpiar, le dijimos que mejor el siguiente día..pero ya nunca regreso. El hotel no tiene recepción o zona donde encontrar ayuda si la necesitas. No hay acceso a agua potable, podría ser muy necesariaa, en nuestro caso por ejemplo enfermamos y estuvimos varios días sin poder movernos de la cama, suerte que habia comprado agua ese dia..tampoco hay nadie a quien solicitar una ayuda o pedir el favor.Nosotros no repetiríamos si mi opinión sirve de algo.

I went here with the intention of staying 2 weeks but I decided I needed to stay 3 as I fell in love with it. The accommodation itself was a spacious bungalow that I had to myself. It was beautiful self contained place with everything i needed and good aircon. I was situated right infront of the stunning and clean pool. Whilst staying there I felt very tucked away from the crazy island but It was less than a 3 minute bike ride to the main shops and food places. Charlie the owner is an incredible guy and very knowledgeable about everything on the island. He is willing to go above and beyond to help anyone that stays at his and it shows as every customer there talks so highly of him. It was an absolute pleasure staying there and I guarantee it will not be my last time.

We have now stayed twice at Secret Garden and we just love the place. It has a very chilled vibe and the bungalows have everything we need in them to feel right at home. Charlie is absolutely delightful and always ensures that his customers have everything they need. We cannot wait to stay there again :-)

Amazing place to stay on the island. Beautiful garden with cosy private bungalows. A perfect place to be in TongSala, near night markets and close to the beach while being able to have a quiet place to come back to at night. Charlie, the host, takes care of you so you can enjoy and relax. We loved it so much we decided to book an extra week for the end of our trip on the island after just spending 1 night there. It truly is a home away from home and we can't wait to come back!

My stay at Secret Garden is regrettably coming to an end ' Secret Garden ' consists of a most beautiful tropical garden. It is a big surprise when you first enter as you do not expect such a haven of peace and tranquility within walking distance of Thong Sala. I have been here four times and shall miss it when I get back home to England. My bungalow (of which I believe there are 15), is air conditioned, has a beautiful terrace, a large bedroom and wet room, and a well equipped large kitchen. What to me is very important is cleanliness, and my bungalow is exceptionally clean. The swimming pool, within a beautiful setting, is large and well maintained, and it is one of the reasons why I so enjoy my stay. I swim every morning. Charlie the owner/manager, who is very innovative, has made attractive changes to the reception/sitting area and generally around the grounds. There is a new addition, a restaurant. ' NIT'S ' is a Thai restaurant, and although the menu is small, the food Nit serves is simply delicious. The staff at Secret Garden are still the same as before Covid and are warm and friendly. This kind of consistency shows how much Charlie cares for his staff who in turn give his guests excellent service. Charlie himself is very approachable and welcoming, and will help with anything he can. I find the prices remarkable for what you get. I cannot fault Secret Garden in any way and hope to be able to return again in the not too distant future.

We stayed here for a couple of months this year. Nice people staying here and Charlie, the owner, is a gentleman. The pool is great. Frequently cleaned. It's in Tong Sala, so it's pretty central on the island. Check it out!

Un séjour au paradis. Très bon emplacement et Charlie est au petit soin pour ses locataires. Très proche de tout ce qu’il faut mais le scooter est bien sur indispensable pour circuler sur l île. Merci encore à Charlie pour son accueil et sa disponibilité. Et pensées aux adorables chiens sur place et qui sont toujours content de voir du monde arriver
