as it is more a resort than a hostel, maybe a social room or something to allow guests to interact with each other, but i did enjoy my stay, thanks so much

Thank you for a wonderful stay! Truly made our vacation comfortable and memorable. We liked having the safe in the one room, however we felt for the price we paid in the second room, we should have had a TV included like our friends did. Everyone was very helpful and friendly! Thanks again for making our stay so nice! Hope you have a wonderful year and will recommend Bonzai Resort to our friends :)

its about 3 mins walk to the beach. in between station 2 and station 3. I think they have to improve on putting the signage at the main entrance where it is visible to all the guest because there were no signs so It was not visible. we had a little hard time finding the place. You have to enter the main entrance of a different resort "Villa de Oro" and at night it's a little bit dark. We stayed there for 4 nights and they clean the room only once. They only change the towel when you ask for it.

Owner Comment (Show)
Hi. Thank you for the comment:) We are not allowed to put signage in the front beach since " Villa De Oro" own the beach front; we had been asking permission if we can do that 5 years ago but of course it is impossible. We are not the only one resort in the island who have concern like that. Lights we would like to provide on the passage but also we are not allowed. 99% of our guest (1% of those don't want their room to be clean) can testify that we clean room everyday and change towels after 2 or 3 nights except guest told us the room don't need to be clean. We actually ask 1 of your companion that we will make up the room and change your bedsheets & towels after 2 night but said it's ok and instead just ask for the broom. What we prioritize and we believe is that once guest told us not to clean their room is because they would like privacy and that we really respect:) and then we will just wait for them to let us know if we are allowed to enter their room and clean it:) We are a backpacker resort but our goal is to give not at least 5 star service but to what we know is the best for our guest!

Awesome location! Really close to the white beach, Andok's chain restaurant and buffets. It is far from D-Mall but near water sports tourist information area. Nice friendly staff with security guard patrol. It's a nice cheap place if you can stand the cold showers and electric fans.
