Bong's also runs on some environmentally minded practices, using metal straws and refillable water to cut down on plastic waste.

Room & food review:
The portion at Bong’s is really good. Probably the best on the island. The customer service from the locals was good.
I got the Alfredo pasta and honestly it wasn’t the best it wasn’t very creamy more watery. The taste wasn’t there. The meaty breakfast muffin was tasty, very filling and it comes with fried potatoes on the side but the cheese had a very strong smell it wasn’t cheddar cheese but that is the only thing I didn’t like about it.
The BLT was good it would be nice if the potato chips were included like they are with the breakfast muffin. The wrap was also really tasty as well as the quesadillas lots of flavor.
Regarding the rooms, the price is great for private accommodation and it’s spacious enough for your stay on the island. They could invest in air con to make the stay more comfortable, as it can get very hot in the room however they do have 3 fans which help a tiny bit. There were also lots of mosquitoes I have never been bitten this much in my life and the noise from dogs barking construction & mopeds is inescapable.
Reviewed in capacity as restaurant. I haven't stayed in the rooms. Food and coffee came as ordered, was fast, tasty and the food portions in particular are quite large. Overall, it's pretty good value given the logistics of getting things to KRS, and a nice place to hang out by the beach.
We didn't stay at Bongs but it was our favourite place for drinks and food. The cocktails were great and the tacos and burrito bowls were very tasty and the portions were mega. Breno kindly helped us with a refund for a boat hire and the staff were all amazing! Great spot!
We absolutely loved bongs! We were made to feel so welcome from start to finish. In the brief time we were there I felt like I’d met genuine friends.
Breno was kind, welcoming and helpful from the off (quite funny too ;) Meg and Will were also lovely, chatty and open. I wish I could remember everyone’s names as every person there made us feel like we belonged.
The kitchen staff were first class too, great food and drink at good prices.
For the price the rooms were very comfortable and clean, with everything we needed.
The location was ideal on the sea front of the gentle bustle of M’Pai bay.
I would definitely go back.
Thank you so much guys 🙏
Hopefully we’ll see you again relatively soon x
Bongs is directly on the beachfront so the views are great. Fantastic to watch the world go by from here. Breakfast was amazing and we came almost everyday. Coffee was really great. Veggie and vegan friendly with plant based milks etc. like many of the restaurants in the bay, they had metal straws and refillable water to help minimise their environmental impact which was really thoguhtful. The background music was so good that I kept on Shazaming the tracks. You can get boat tours and boat taxis booked through them and the staff were so helpful in getting things booked and sorted for us. We rented paddle boards so we could go snorkeling as well. Can rent snorkels from them and they have different sizes so you can take your pick. Very reasonable prices. Staff were so welcoming and lovely. Always said hi to us when they were off shift and saw them out and about. I LOVED the photography on the wall in the cafe. Such lovely portraiture so shout out for whoever took them. Feel very lucky to have been recommended this place by a fellow traveler.
