Rooms

There are only 10 bungalows at Bo Resort and the planting of trees and shrubs has been so successful that, from where our bungalow sat, it was almost impossible to see another and the same goes for other people as well. The quiet atmosphere and the privacy were wonderful.

Each bungalow has thatched walls and roof with bamboo railed balconies at the front and roll down shutters in case the offshore breeze comes up. It was in a deck chair on our balcony where I first fell into my deep slumber but I did manage at some stage to stagger in and flop on to the queen size bed. At night from this position it is possible to open just one eye and have a view of the ocean. If you are lucky the moon will be casting its glow upon the water while the lights from fishing boats bob on the horizon.

The bathrooms in each hut are open air but completely private and weather resistant and have a small garden that is watered when the rain drips from the overhanging thatch. It was fascinating to sit and contemplate life as the heavy monsoonal rain cascaded only centimetres away. This is a very pleasant set up and adds to the feeling that you should be clad in nothing more than a loose fitting sarong. OK, there is no hot water, but actually there is no need given the usual temperature and cold showers were very refreshing.
