About 8ik88

The 8IK88 boat tour comes highly recommended by many who have experienced it. The owner of the boat goes above and beyond to accommodate the interests of his guests, making extra stops along the way to show hidden spots that add a special touch to the tour. His passion for nature is evident and he is known to be a kind and hospitable man. He even takes pictures for his guests with his camera, surprising them with the photos later.

The Butterfly Pea Flower is a hidden gem that is worth a visit. The owners are lovely and the views and food are great. The staff, especially Nutandai, are known for making stays memorable.

On the last day of their stay at 8ik88, guests can arrange a tour on a private long tail boat. The trip takes you around the islands near Ko Yao Noi, to beautiful beaches and lagoons where you can relax, swim, or explore view points. The owner is knowledgeable about the surroundings and can show you hidden places that are worth the time. For example, an island that looks unremarkable from the outside but reveals a beautiful mangrove paradise inside during low tide. The tour also includes a visit to Hong Island for a 360° view. On the boat, guests are treated to free ice cold drinks and fruits. The boat can even drop guests off at their new accommodation on another island.

However, not all experiences have been positive. Some guests have found the place to be overpriced. The view from the rooms is as good as in the pictures, but the floor to ceiling window in the bathroom can be a privacy concern as staff and other guests walk past all the time. The road runs right past the rooms and the noise from passing vehicles can be disturbing. The building is very narrow and heats up due to the flat roof and the black and grey paint. The swimming pool is small and there is no beach, only rocks. The location is remote, so guests are tied to the hotel restaurant, which has received mixed reviews. The breakfast has been described as poor and served late.

Despite these concerns, many guests have had great experiences. The trip to bat island, island with a lot of small crabs, best beaches, and snorkeling have been highlights for many. The long-tail boat adventure arranged by hotel 8IK88 is often the highlight of trips to Phuket. The excursion is well organized and includes seeing the island where James Bond filmed, Man with the Golden Gun, snorkeling in the warm waters, and swimming in the beautiful beaches and lagoons. Lunch at the island restaurant is above expectations.

The trip to the Krabi islands is a rare find in Phuket. The trips are private or small group and off the beaten path, yet still affordable. The boat can drop guests off at their next stay, which is convenient and time saving. The 8IK88 hotel in Phuket comes highly recommended for its excellent hospitality, great facilities, and superb location. It is quiet with not many tourists even in high season December.
