About the hotel:
The resort is ideally located right on Kata Beach. The Resorts Restaurant & bar area allow for great views of the beach. The Resort needs a makeover though, the rooms & common areas seem dated and need attention. A lot of the wood work is deteriorated with lack of attention. Service was Ok but not great. We enjoyed our stay here, but probably would not return to this resort.
About the reservation service:
Great booking service. Will definately use again

About the hotel:
Yes, the location is very good, the beach is very very nice and it is lovely to wake up in the morning and have breakfast by the beach, or have dinner there. The restaurant is perfect!
The interior of our room, however, is really worn out. Even though the sheets are clean and the bathroom is clean, the rooms are old, the furniture can use a renovation. Also, there was a bad smell in the room, something because of the damp getting into the walls, so they try to put it away by burning sent oils in the bathroom, but it doesn t work. It still smells. The staff was ok and generally didn t leave a question unanswered, but I have been to three other cities in Thailand and I also have to admit the staff was much kinder there. I guess all Phuket is less thai and the people do not greet you in the Thai style so much like in Chian Mai, Sukhothai, or the hotel in Bangkok. I missed that. Also, the Internet was not working when i needed it and they couldn t do much about it until the next day.
Again, the restaurant is excellent, and having the beach just outside the window is an excellent memory, but the rooms are not good. If wouldn t recommend it for families with children or romantic couples.
The thing is that this hotel was actually more expensive than any of the other three absolutely top hotels we got and yet it was less quality.
I would suggest that for a 1500 Baht more you should go to the Mom Tri s Resort, which is 5 minutes away by foot - really magical place. I don t know if their beach is good, but we had dinner there twice it was fantastic and the facilities as a whole seem to be of much higher quality there.
About the reservation service:
Excellent! Like a breeze, easy, fast and efficient. Timely reminders and notifications.

About the hotel:
Hotel was great - my second stay there - breakfast was a little disappointing, but the food at the restaurant for lunch and dinner was great. If you have the chance, make sure to use the free car service to the sister Villa Royale property up the hill - the restaurant there is outstanding also.
About the reservation service:
this website was very helpful - no complaints

Right on the beach, old style, good 3-4 stars.
Very friendly staff, high service level. Very good restaurant and ABSOLUTE the BEST WINE LIST of any hotel I have ever visited.
Mom Tri´s Boathouse, rent one of the suites. They have my highest recommendations. Not new but with charm and respect for local traditions.

We had a great stay. You cannot fault the service and the staff. A great relaxing holiday. If you are looking for a quiet area of Phuket on the beach, this is the place. Would highly recommend.

About the hotel:
Probably one of the best relaxing experiences my girlfriend and I have had. The hotel staff never stopped smiling, offered us everything we needed, and made our stay there as comfortable as possible. Great location, right on the beach with their own chairs to unwind and relax away from all the crowd. Service is 5 star. We hesitated paying for so much since we were staying for 8 days, but it was well worth it. Will definitely recommend to friends.
About the reservation service:
Prompt, efficient, and friendly as usual.

About the hotel:
Very nice hotel, right on Kata beach. Kata is great for those who prefer things a bit quieter and the view is excellent. The service and food were all very good. My only complaint would be about the smell from the drains, which comes into the bathroom. The hotel did its best to mask the smell with scented oils but at times it still whiffed a bit. The local water company had recently worked on one of the pipes and that may have been a contributing factor.
About the reservation service:
Very efficient as always.
