We stayed at Hip Top, it's really nice Bungalows located 5 minutes by walking to the main beach in Ngwe Saung. But: Only cold water, bathroom lock broken, not clean, bungalow need repairs. Close to mainroad, noisy. Wi-Fi not work, electricity works only between 8:00AM and 6:00PM. Neighbor hotel using generators all night, noisy and not easy to sleep.

The staff itself, though, was friendly, but that's unfortunately the only good thing I have to say; thus...

He entertained with a fireshow, played music we liked and even cooked for us delicious fried fish. We decided to stay one night in a bungalow. Which was basic, with a bathroom and a mosquito net. The generator was running during the night so we could have the fan on. The generator made some noice.
