I had a mixed experience at this resort. The location was fantastic, close to the beach and with plenty of local amenities nearby. However, the service was a bit hit or miss, and communication with the staff was sometimes challenging due to language barriers. While the pool area was lovely and the room was spacious enough, there were some maintenance issues that detracted from the stay. Overall, I found it to be a decent value, but there are definitely some areas for improvement.

The room was spacious and had everything we needed, like a safe, kettle, fridge, and air conditioning. However, there was an unpleasant smell of smoke, which was a letdown, especially since it was a non-smoking room.

The pool area was beautiful and clean, providing a great spot to relax during the day. However, the bar was only open during the day and closed in the evening, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, our stay had its ups and downs. The hotel has a lovely pool area and a great community around it, but there were several issues that made the experience less than ideal, including language barriers and inadequate room maintenance. The atmosphere was marred by staff conflicts and a disappointing dining experience.

The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from Karon Beach, surrounded by lively bars and restaurants, which is great for exploring. The rooms were bright and spacious, but some areas seemed a bit dated. The staff was always friendly and welcoming, adding to a pleasant stay. However, the breakfast choices could be more varied, and Wi-Fi only worked well in certain areas.

My stay was a mixed bag. The hotel's location is lovely, just a short walk from the beach, and the pool area is clean and inviting. However, the service left a lot to be desired, especially regarding communication and addressing issues. The rooms are spacious but not well-maintained, impacting comfort during the stay.

I recently stayed for 9 nights, hoping for a wonderful birthday experience at this hotel, but it was quite disappointing. While the location was fantastic and the pool area was beautiful, the service left a lot to be desired. The dining experience was basic and not very enjoyable, making the overall value for money feel lacking. I would consider staying again only if my choices were limited.

Rooms

The room was spacious enough and had a great balcony view, but the air conditioning didn’t work well and there was some unpleasant odor. The housekeeping didn’t meet my expectations, often just doing the bare minimum.
