    Due to ongoing maintenance, we requested a room change, which management accommodated with an upgrade, which was very much appreciated it definitely improved our experience. (however I feel we shouldn't have had to ask, we had booked a swim up room, then after a couple of days to be informed by a letter left in our room that we wouldn't be able to use the pool for the remainder of our stay & to be given small plate of fruit as compensation wasn't really good enough, )

    Staff were helpful, when approached but otherwise kept their distance, Overall the place is nice it has everything you need, but sections were definitely a bit tired. Due to some ongoing maintenance we requested a room move and we were not only moved but upgraded, which definitely improved our experience.

    NWe had an excellent stay and gave this hotel a perfect 10. Everything was very clean, and the private beach was quiet and well-kept. The location was ideal for us – a peaceful beachfront combined with plenty of restaurants and small local businesses just outside, so we never missed a thing. Overall, the hotel was outstanding for our needs, and we are sure we’ll come back again.

    Aircon in the room (villa) is the greatest disappointment ever!!! It is old, super noisy, not possible to switch to low speed mode, also it is located right over the bed - this is truly disaster! It must be replaced to new modern and quiet model. Another small disappointment is the absence of spa in the hotel, just a beach massage - but this is manageable, no so big issue comparing with Air conditioner nightmare.

    Good place to relax - very quiet at nights, nice beach, only few people around from outside. Really like it is far away from night life! Staff is quite helpful, barbecue on the beach was amazing, as well as Thai music at dinner.

    not really the hotel itself - we didn't realise it is quite a drive to other locations. We used Grab to get to Bophut/Chaweng/Lamai for dinners most evenings.

    Extensive breakfast, lovely pool, very peaceful location, room was huge and spacious, decor is old style but all neat/tidy/clean so it feels lovely, pool access outside our door on semi-private terrace - lovely, small local restaurants and family friendly massage places

    - the restaurant was a bit expensive compared to other restaurants nearby, event though would’ve been nice to sit there because the view was great - also laundry bit expensive compared to the one 5 minutes away for less than half the price per kg

    - better than the pictures shown on booking (experienced for the first time) - it’s a huge hotel, really close to the beach and a great pool - the rooms are really big and the bathroom is amazing - it smelled great when we arrived because they put a candle - water for free each day

    We were here 7 years ago and I don’t think it is quite as good as it was then. I know they had a hard time with the damage to the tourist trade because of Covid but I think they still need to make some basic improvements.

    Great location, right on the beach. We stayed in a grand pool Villa and these are lovely. Lots of space and a small pool of your own.

    Our private pool was ice cold (time of year maybe but also sited in much shade) so we couldn't use it which was a shame. There was a lack of tables at breakfast and a few times we left as nowhere to sit. There was no 'bar' in the evening, the daytime opened up a pool bar but then it closed at dusk which was a shame, nowhere to sit and relax with a drink or meet people so we went into the village. Felt like a lot of attention to detail was needed to make a few things better and it could be a fabulous resort.

    Staff all friendly and helpful. Fabulous big room with separate lounge area and outside private pool. Public pool area was nice and spacious with lots of sunbeds, though had to grab early sometimes. Breakfast had many options and there are lots of super places in the village to eat and drink. Village was beautiful, friendly locals and like a step back in time to old Thailand. The views over the beach were stunning however it was a very steep angle to walk along and sea was very rough and washed up a lot of seaweed, bottles and mess on the beach so didn't visit it much. All in all a nice hotel and facilities but did feel a little tired and 'could do better' with a bit of maintenance and love.

    We stayed in a villa with private pool but the size of the pool was tiny and out the back of the villa with no seating. Nothing like the photos. Air conditioning was new but very loud and could not be switched to quiet mode in the night. Breakfast dishes had covers on all items but they were left open which defeats the object.

    Location in Mae Nam and close to pier. Lovely local bars and restaurants close by. Nice beach. Swimming pool is fabulous.

    AC in villa way too strong even on lowest settings. Restaurant and staff nice but overpriced and very average (pretty bad cocktails or deserts), better go out, much better options just outside of the resort.

    Whole resort feels like it used to be a luxury 5* some time ago and instead of investing and keeping it that way they downgraded to 4*, that’s not necessarily bad thing. We got villa close to pool and it was just perfect, big and comfortable, clean. Private pool is just ok. Public pool is very nice and beach is great (relatively steep, good for swimming).
