Smile Bungalow Bottle Beach offers visitors a unique and somewhat rustic experience surrounded by natural beauty, though its cleanliness appears to be a frequent concern mentioned by guests.

Despite these drawbacks, the facility’s remoteness offers a peaceful retreat accessible only by 4x4 jeeps provided by the hotel, adding a unique charm to the location for those seeking isolation.
