“At The Tongsai
Bay…We emphasise on the outdoor living”
All 83 rooms in a vast area of 25 acres of land, surrounded by
tropical nature, offer sea view with 4 main types of
accommodation namely Beachfront Suites, Cottages Suites, Tongsai
Grand Villas and Tongsai Pool Villas.

24 Beachfront
Suitesare in a 3-storeyed
building next to the beach and pools. All have a secluded
bathtub, 2 sun loungers, a dining and writing table and full
fronted sea views. 8 Suites on the ground floor are suitable for
families in a way that each has a direct access from the balcony
to the beach and pools and its overall size is as large as 86 m2
divided into 36 m2 balcony, 44 m2 air-conditioned area and 6 m2
backyard as opposed to the upper floor suites which are only 72
m2.

Due to larger area and
ground location, Beachfront Suites on the ground floor can
accommodate 2 adults and 2 children under 12 and are more
suitable for families.
|
|
41
cottagesare dotted around the
hill leading down to Tongsai’s private beach. They are well
hidden by the existing trees which only a few of them were cut
down when we first built the cottages. All Cottage Suites offer
sea view from their terraces but because there’re lots of
trees, the view can be partial or at an angle. Being situated on
a different location, each cottage has individual characters, the
variation in shape, size and angles of scenery. The standard
sizes of cottages are 68-78 m2 and can only take 3 people
maximum.

These 9 Tongsai
Grand Villasand 2 other special
villas were open for business in December 1998. They are on the
hillside on the right-hand side of The Tongsai Bay, opposite to
where Cottage and Beachfront Suites stand. They are created in
compliance with our philosophy to encourage guests to go back to
nature wherever and whenever possible.

Undergone the renovation
in December 2005, each of the 9 villas now has a total area of
170 m2 with an open-air area of 116 m2 on the terrace and the
back of each Villa and 54 m2 of air-conditioned bedroom area. The
unique outdoor terrace features a bathtub for bathing alfresco, a
gazebo where guests can sleep outside if they wish (the hotel
provides mosquito nets) and a small pantry-bar area, a dining
table and sun loungers.

4 Tongsai Pool
Villas(185 m2) are the most
recent type of accommodation, added in December 2003 and
completed its refurbishment in December 2005. They are in the
same area as Tongsai Grand Villas, offering the same facilities
