We found this place by accident when cruising around with the scooter. We stopped then for beer and soda, and enjoyed the fantastic views. We were welcomed and once seated the took also a fan out especially for us to make our visit even better. Hidden gem

Great coffee and an awesome view! If you like sweets - the choices are very limited. Unfortunately, staff doesn't speak any English.

Ok what awesome place, a place to be - one of the most cosy accommodations I’ve had on my whole trip in Thailand. Breakfast is included (you can choose from different options), you can have a lunch snack and a delicious dinner as well. The owners and their staffs try to making everything possible for you. I will definitely comeback asap! Cheers

If there was a rating higher than 5 stars I would’ve given it to this cafe without a doubt. This is a must visit while you’re in Phuket, even if you’re not staying at the hotel. The staff is incredibly friendly and supportive particularly Nutdanai but also everyone who supported there. The food at this cafe is amazing! The honey French toast and mangoes are a must! Their iced coffee is also incredible as well as their pad Thai and green curry. Their prices are very reasonable and don’t think anywhere can beat this view! Highly recommended.

It is a place where you can really enjoy tranquility. You can enjoy unblocked sunrise view, ice cool beers at your balcony in the evening with gentle sea breeze. The host Nutdanai is easy going and friendly. He is resourceful and able to accommodate whatever requests you may have, or propose alternatives if you are going to make wrong choices. He is few of Thai resort owners who can speak and write good English. 8ik88 resort is definitely in my next year family holiday destinations again.

One of the two restaurants available in this area. Nice and friendly place, beautiful views (including unique restroom arrangements:), which is really cool). Spice and pepper level can be adjusted, which is great. Papaya salad was average, but green curry, coconut soup and other dishes are very good. They also give fruit compliment after food. So far it was the best place I ate in during this particular trip to Phuket.
