Dolphin Bungalows

This was a wonderful place to stay. The food, home-cooked by mama, was fantastic, and they have both Thai and Western food available (so if you're not gastronomically adventurous, that's perfectly okay!). They'll even adjust the spiciness to suit your tastes. It's a quiet place to spend a few days, and the tours you can book through the Palmview are great! I totally recommend the Lake-Jungle-Cave day tour, because it was the most fun I had on my entire 25 day trip. If you've seen Goonies, it's like being a Goonie for a day ;) There's a real family feel to this place, and if you're looking for somewhere where you can just rest and recharge, I recommend it. Or, if you want to go and hit some reggae bars, it's close enough to the main drag that you can get there on foot. Plus, Khao Sok National Park is a stone's throw away, if you plan on doing some hiking. The beds in our cabin weren't the best, but with all the other amazing stuff this place offers, my friend and I didn't care. The cabin was super clean and the grounds are quiet with beautiful scenery. This place is a jewel.
