White Tortoise Eco Villa's

Beautiful, relaxing and small villas. If you want to relax this is the place for you. It is a wonderful hidden gem. Note it is a little far from beaches so you’ll need to get a taxi or drive a scooter. They also only serve breakfast which was delicious!

We stayed for 4 nights at White Tortoise Villas. We paid around $300 per night. We expected a much better room and were somewhat disappointed by the facilities here. The mosquito net over the bed wasn’t mosquito proof because it wasn’t long enough just a pretty decorative touch . The bathroom was hazardous because water splashed easily all over the floor making it very slippery and the shower faucet was broken. It was open and full of mosquitoes so bring mosquito coils. Also a cat kept running into our room and we saw the staff feeding the cat on the kitchen bench. The room was traditionally designed which we like but is quite basic in the amenities provided. Eg only 1 bedside table, basic bathroom without any appeal. We may be unusual but we prefer sleeping with a fan and the doors open. Luckily we were provided with a great fan . We were well prepared with plug in mosquito repellent which you will need because the mosquito net over the bed isn’t properly designed. Breakfast was to be available from 7 but staff turned up late one morning and told us to wait half an hour. While the breakfast was included it was rigid in what we could order. No mixed juices allowed unless you paid extra, toast was $1 a slice extra if you chose a breakfast without toast and this is whilst paying $300 per night. Access to White Tortoise is down a very narrow road so if you’re coming by car only 1 car can fit on the road so either you have to reverse to let a car in the opposite direction pass or try and pull over to the side of the road. The private pool included with the room have no privacy because you can be seen by people walking past. The staff at reception were lovely and helpful and welcoming

We started our trip at the White Tortoise and it was a very good way to kick off our holidays. The place is very charming and quiet, the food is super tasty and the staff super friendly. At this period of the year, there was no restaurant for the evening, however with Grab (application like Uber), it was very easy to get meals.
