Amazing bungalows, fantastic welcome with fresh coconuts! Excellent friendly, knowledgeable team on site who couldn't do enough to help us and answer any questions we had. So much wildlife to spot around the bungalows and only a few minutes walk to the shops. We absolutely loved our stay here and cant wait to go back. Highly highly recommended!

Had a 2 week stay at this hotel and from the moment we arrived it was amazing. Staff are very friendly, attentive and professional. All the food in the hotel (and believe me we tried pretty much all of it) was brilliant. Short walk along the beach to Bophut Fishing village with more bars, restaurants and shops. Only negative was that the holiday ended too early. Would definitely go back.

Stayed at Popppies for 12 nights - what a wonderful place. The staff could not be more friendly and helpful - starting right from the pickup from the airport with cold drinks and face cloths in the taxi. It is situated in an ideal location right on the beach in the middle of all the amenities - but sufficiently secluded as to believe you were in a little oasis cut off from the rest of the busy resort. Loved the little personal touches of the place and its uniqueness - would definitely recommend...

Beautiful location with wonderful, friendly staff who go out of their way to be helpful.
The spa and spa staff are amazing!!! Can’t recommend it enough.
The only downside to this hotel is the hygiene and slightly dated pool surroundings.
The hygiene around the breakfast buffet area could be a lot better, ie, food covered up to prevent the horrendous amount of flies going on food and plates, really was off putting.
Could be managed better to prevent illness.
Overall wonderful stay.

I had a lovely relaxing time at the hotel. Friendly and helpful staff made for an enjoyable time. Lovely room and pool with the beach close by.
A large spread was available for breakfast. A very nice start to the day.
Occasionally I found a staff member that could not grasp what I was asking in English.
I treated myself to a manicure at the Zense Spa. I regretted my choice as I could have done a much better job with a pair of nail clippers.
