Homestays in Krui

First of all, a very big thank you to the host; Frenki. He is mentioned in almost every review with a reason; he is extremely help-full with everything at every moment of your stay. From helping you find the right surf rental, scooters delivered on the doorstep, organizing massages at the villa and showing where to do groceries. He keeps all the areas of the villa super clean, restocks the kitchens sometimes with coffee and cold after-surf-beverages. It really feels as a home because of his relaxed and helpful behavior. Next to that there is the lovely dinners he cooks for all the guests once a week, tasteful local dishes together with likeminded surf guests was always a pleasure. We booked 3 nights, but ended up staying at least another 2 weeks, mostly because of the great service and hospitality of Frenki. During our stay we stayed at villa 2; a nice open spaced shared area, overlooking the new garden. Enough space to invite some friends over for a BBQ (also at the villa). The design of the rooms was really clean and fresh, also with an ‘open-roof’ shower, which was really great. The shower sometimes misses some pressure, but for those looking for a bigger plunge of water can use the outdoor shower in the garden. To mention again; the cleanliness was always good, and Frenki did his best to keep it that way. Then there is the location, perfectly situated around the most common surf spots of the area. In a 5 to 10 mins drive you can find at least 5 surf spots, and a bit further down a good paved road there is Mandiri beach break. This was also a really good reason to stay in between the most common surf spots, to not keep driving around the coastline every day. All summed up together we were really happy to stay with Frenki, he had a great accommodation with many benefits for surfers, and we would definitely return!

Second time staying there. Great value and great surfing!
