I want to share a good and inexpensive hotel, which is located literally within walking distance of the center of Tong Sala, but with it is in a rather quiet place. The hotel is small but green and cozy. He is of bungalow type, but the bungalows there are good, they can mini-villas even call, in fact, hence the name.

Price and reservation
In Mangrove Villa I paid 1600 baht / day for a villa. Deposit for key 2000 baht. There all the houses are the same, so there is no choice, meaning the price is one for all rooms. Perhaps the price will seem to someone a bit overpriced, but I lived there during the peak season, when prices even in bamboo bungalows were high. Beyond the peak of the season, the price drops to 800-900 baht, which in my opinion is generally a gift.

Be sure (and I insist) check for discounts or special offers on the excellent Roomguru service. He is fast and easy will show you discounts in all existing reservation systems. AT the same Asia, for example, there are lots of offers on Agoda.com, which much more interesting than on exactly the same hotels in Booking.com.
Well, initially it is more convenient to search there, the largest base hotels it turns out, all the reservation systems at once. And for some reason some hotels are only in Agoda, and others only in Bucking. For example, this hotel is only in Agoda, and if you were only looking in a Bucking alone, they would not have found it. And he is not bad.

Interior
The rating of the hotel is about 7.7, that is not perfect, but already quite. The place in fact was very pleasant. Everything is less new, well done. All you need is: a fridge, a kettle (for some reason he was rarely met on Phangan), a hair dryer, an air conditioner itself by yourself, a couple of free bottles of water, good Wifi, safe (bolted to the wall). TV has just been antediluvian, but I I never look at traveling, I just don’t have time for it.
There is even a separate room with a sink and clothes dryer, not I know why it was for this whole room to do, but drying is well, although it is possible to hang everything on the railing on the terrace. Realistically There is nothing to complain about, except that the hooks in the bath were not enough to towel hang. And yet the possible minus is that the road is near, be heard the noise from her. I have nothing at all with closed doors / windows I did not hear, but maybe someone has a more sensitive sleep.

Internet is not the best, but normal, only outgoing channel too small For surfing, YouTube and so on, it was enough, there were no problems. And then on Phangan in hotels often so, you connect to WiFi, and There is almost no internet itself, you have to use 4G.
Exterior
In addition to the location (about him below), I personally really liked small but green territory. The bungalows are almost buried in the forest. That is, even if you do not sit on the terrace, then behind the bushes you will not especially and visible. Yes, the owners have a little drunk on the hotel, this is typical Pangan history, when with all sorts of repairs pull to the last. But for now the hotel is worthy of staying there for some time.
The main problem is the inactive pool, but it should have been to fix. Although it is small, it is better to drive on the bike to the beach. And further I did not like the lazy staff. Again, the typical Phangan. Everything such on a relaxed, so when settling will blunt, and cleaning so-so will do.

Mangroove Villas Hotel is very conveniently located on the outskirts of Tong Saly near the epicenter of the whole island civilization, here Little. Yes, this is not a beach hotel, it is for those who have come actively. move around the island, and not sit in a sun lounger by the pool. Before the very center of Tong Sala, where the Pantip Market food court and all shops go on foot literally 5 minutes (500 meters). And in principle, there is already close to the big Tesco and the market. Near the hotel there is 7-eleven and an english pub with good breakfasts.
Right next to there is no good beach, closest to amateur (to him 5 minutes walk), and there is another mediocre too – secret beach, to him somewhere 15-20 walk and a bit uphill. But if you’re on a bike, then strategically everything is very good, until just go the same way. If you want to Shritana, then go there for about 15 minutes, to Tong Salya a couple of minutes, to Had Rin 20 minutes.
