We had a lovely 4 nights at Rocks Beach at the end of a month-long tour of SE Asia. It was just what we were looking for: a glorious setting by the pristine beach, great food, no timetable to follow, and best of all, very welcoming but unintrusive hosts. This includes Sam, the owner's (Loan) son, who is one of the most charming 3-year-olds that we've ever come across. Loan went out of her way to make our stay special, including a candlelight dinner on the beach and a motorcycle trip to a local fisherman's place to buy fresh shrimp and crab for our dinner. (And oh what shrimp!) She also arranged for an 8-hour tour of the island by taxi that included stops at several different places: a bee farm, a fish sauce factory, a splendid pagoda, a couple of beautiful (but sadly littered) beaches, and a pepper farm, as well as the day market and lunch at the Crab House (yum!) in Doung Dong. And all of this--the accommodations, the food and drink, the sightseeing--came at a very reasonable price. We couldn't ask for more.
