Reviews for Dawn of Happiness
Review 1:I really enjoyed the stay in Dawn of Happiness. The staff was really nice and friendly. I got to know wonderful people there. The wooden hut that we stayed in was very nice. It was clean and cosy. We really liked the atmosphere there.
Review 2:A bit far from restaurant. Beds were soooo hard. Kitchen staff arrived at 10:00 and manager can not cook eggs :(
Review 3:If you like being away from the main tourist are... This is the place
Review 4:Low tide In bamboo bungalows don't expect any "spa center", but the room itself is nice and separated by a solid door, so the bugs can not climb through:) Isolated place (it is best to rent a bike/car or use the boats to Railay beach (pier 10 min walk)
Review 5:on the beach in the shade of palm trees Delicious food (but the chef is not there every night!) Fruit for breakfast Friendly staff, however unprepared to answer all the questions High tide
Review 6:The location wasn't as good as shown in pictures and you couldn't actually swim in the sea foroat of the day. The food was terrible and their was a non existent menu. some of the staff were very unhelpful and at times were annoyed by our questions about the area. The beds were very uncomfortable and the bathroom was very dirty. We booked and paid for an aircon room but received a room with a broken aircon and a 'complimentary' fan, which means we ended up paying for an aircon room even though we didn't have one and we were not given the option of receiving back the money that was owed to us.
Review 7:The barman was very friendly and helpful. The view was amazing.
Review 8:Breakfast was expensive, and the coffee was terrible! Service was slow to nonexistant, frankly, and there were no other options for dining nearby due to its isolated location.
Review 9:Definitely the location, and the rustic cabins!
Review 10:Very dirty and poor service. There are only 3 employees in a hotel and they don't care about the territory. I guess 10 or 15 years ago it was a good place, but the owner don't invest in the hotel. All rooms need to be renovated. For all our visit noone clean our room.
Review 11:We've stayed here for 5 nights. The hotel is located on a sea beach in a really beautiful place. If you are going to stay here, you'd better rent a car as there are no shops ar caffes nearby
Review 12:The rooms we got was the worst i ever had in my 18 years to Thailand. Shower no work. Rats in the walls/roof and plenty of other insects. Beds broken. Not worth 200bath a night and for sure not the 1000bath its cost to rent bungalow
Review 13:Liked that is on the beach
Review 14:At low tide, the beach isn't nice for swimming because the ground is slimy and it's shallow quite a way out. I could feel the springs in the mattress Cash only and wifi only in reception area
Review 15:Hammocks and swings on the beach Walking distance to pier for boats to Raileys Beach, etc. and to town area with shops, food options.
Review 16:Cockroaches, bed bugs, rooms not cleaned for whole stay or towels changed, lizards, air con broke, toilet didnt flush and shower only trickled. Really old fashioned bungalow with holes in the ceilings and walls for bugs to get in. Full of hippies.
Review 17:Staff friendly, nice beach
Review 18:The facilities are a bit dilapidated, but the new owners are working very hard to upgrade and fix everything. I am looking forward to going back in a year to see their progress!
Review 19:The staff were amazing. They work hard, and are so friendly. Naam speaks excellent English, and she helped me resolve every issue I had. I spent a wonderful week relaxing on the beach, watching buffalo and horses walking by.
Review 20:1. Absolutely clueless personal. On arrival we were greated by Josh, who is a nice guy, but he did not help us at all in any way. He was not able even to find a key to our bungalow! 2. Absolutely nothing in bungalows. except beds. We were not ready for such a minimalistic "design", because of the next item: 3. Photos are lying! Actual bungalows look much worse! 4. Cleanness of the bathroom is... no, there is no cleanness in the bathroom. 5. No hot water. 6. Very weak water flow from the shower.
Review 21:The only good thing with this place is that it is located right on the beach.
Review 22:The location is good The price was reasonable but not cheap The landscape beautiful The beach is not good for swimming The bungalow: nice but old and not well maintained. Our bathroom had a problem and nobody showed up to fix the problem (it was leaking). Of course don't expect anyone would clean the room or bathroom The staff & service: Well well well. Nobody seems to care about the resort with exception of the thai woman at the reception/kitchen and the russian woman and her boyfriend, really nice persons. On our arrival they had an issue with overbooking and the swedish lady at the reception desk was somehow in another world ( and she disappeared the day after). The owner is nice but we really recommend to invest some money and resources to improve the quality of the place because it could be amazing! Nevertheless, we had a lot of fun there anyways! If you are a relaxed person on 420, it might be for you! If you look for you big honeymoon experience, check the next one ! :)
Review 23:The staff speak poor English but still try their hardest to understand and help.
Review 24:The resort is in a very quiet and relaxing location removed from the party scene. It is within a short boat ride of the renowned Railay Beach and some fabulous islands. The staff were welcoming and exceedingly accomodating. I picked up an injury on my travels and the cook massaged my arm for over an hour until I was pain free. It was truly incredible..... It is the perfect place to go if you are looking for some peace and quiet, relaxing massages and are working within a budjet.
Review 25:Stayed 6 nights but the room wasn't cleaned and could of done with fresh clean towels and bedding within that time.
Review 26:Great place with a chilled vibe to hang out with friends, staff were friendly and location was close to the port and on the beach.
Review 27:- shabby and dirty bungalows - no cleaning / fresh towels during our stay - blocked toilet - sandy footpaths and no means to rinse your feet from sand before entering the bungalow - no good value for your money
Review 28:- location at the beach in the middle of wilderness - nice food
Review 29:most disgusting bungalows I've ever been in. Termite infestation, dirty rooms, uncomfortable bed, disgusting bathroom. never stay here. EVER!!
Review 30:Nothing
Review 31:Clearly they don't give a hoot about upkeep or cleanliness of bungalows. We're experienced budget travellers but this was gross – and the price was rude for such poor care.
Review 32:Friendly staff
Review 33:Value for money was not good. Place needed to be cleaned up more. Mosquito nets had holes even when we pointed it out to be fixed. Trip deals were found cheaper outside the hotel.
Review 34:Proximity to beach and pier was great. Staff were helpful and friendly especially the work away couple from the u.k. The food was good and so was the general vibe of the place. The owner Django was pretty cool and relaxed.
Review 35:Doesn ´t seem to be very clean, but for that money, it ´s ok
