We have just got home from 3 weeks in Thailand. We had never been
in Thailand before but this has been the best holiday ever. We stayed
at Big John for 5 days and had booked a Beach Front Bungalow. This
was excellent! Very nice place. 5 meters from the beach,10 meters
from the pool and a few meters more to the restaurant. The personnel
working at Big John were very nice. We are 2 adults and 2 children
(4 and 9 years old) from Norway. We will come back to Big John later. |

We booked at the last minute, hoping to find a somewhere right on
a quiet beach. Big John 2 was perfect. There are few hotels in Lipanoi,
which means you don t get hassled on the beach by vendors like the
bigger resorts. The courtesy bus into Nathon was useful, especially
if you want a taxi to the other resorts. Staff work very hard and
are friendly. Had a relaxing time. Brilliant if you want to get away
from it all. But if you are looking for nightlife, this may not be
the place for you. |

A wonderful haven from the crowds of Chaweng & Lamai. It s peaceful
and isolated, with a nice shallow, rock-free beach and beautiful sunsets.
Location makes it VERY expensive to get to other parts of the island
unless you rent a car or motorbike. The food is a little pricy, but
it s worth every baht. Excellent service all-around. |

We loved our stay at Big John and will defenitely come back. All staff
was really friendly and helpful at all times. They were great with
our three children and even carried the baby around so we could enjoy
a quiet dinner. It is a perfect place for families. Our two bigger
kids (4 and 6) disappeared for hours to play on the beach/playground/pool
with all the new friends they met there. Big John´s remote location
works great for people who just seek a quiet place ... but might not
be the right choice for people who want shopping and a variety of
restaurants at their doorstep.... But fine for us - we will be back
next year! |

This is a pretty nice place, quite picturesque. The rooms were clean
although not very cozy. The breakfast was not included but what we
had was good – although I never really got my order because there
was some confusion – but my partner was kind enough to share and it
was tasty. To be honest, Big John left me a little disappointed because
at check out they surprised us with a 500THB bill for the taxi service
from the airport. This was about half the cost of one night at the
hotel to put things into perspective. It was my understanding that
there was no fee for airport pick-up. I had no choice but to pay it.
I felt ripped off which is really too bad because it was a nice enough
place. Surprising guests with unexpected expenses is never a good
way to perpetuate business. |
