About the hotel:
Think that this used to be a nice hoyel once upon a time. Now it just feels worn down. Staff was very uninterrested and most of the ones manning the reception was really bad at english. Pool was green from algy and minimal efort was put in to get it clean. We were upgraded to a villa which was really nice. Could have been great if it had been properly cleaned and if all things had worked as the should. For instance: there were no bottomplug in the tub, and the staff couldn t get one either. SInce the hotel is quite far from the beach one would have guessed that the pool area had been well planned and large. But far from it. The ones going here are to enjoy crowds and crowds if people. I m glad I ve seen it so that I can avoid it in the future.

Hotellet ligger 3 minuters promenad från stranden. Lungn o trevlig oas mitt i all shopping. Poolen är jättefin med tillgång till både skugga o sol hela dagen. Snygga välskötta rum. Trevlig personal. Rekommenderas varmt.

About the hotel:
The standard of the rooms does not measure up to the rates! We had booked a standard room, it was awful, dirty, small and very por standard. We upgraded to the villa, it was better but not worthy the rate. The staff were not as kind and serviceminded as I have experienced in many other hotels in Thailand! Cleaning was bad, big dustballs under the bed, leaking taps in the bathroom...a jacuzzi outside that would be a risk for your health to use. And the pool area was depressing. We never went in the pool, would also be a helathrisk! I will never stay at this hotel again!!! You can find better hotels at better prices in the near area, or pay the same rates but get a much better standard.

About the hotel:
Vi bokade ett standard rum, vilket inte gick att bo på. Det var slitet till tusen och väldigt slarvigt städat.Vi uppgraderade till en villa suite. Rummet i sig var fint men inte städat ordentligt på väldigt länge. Lankanen i sängen hade fläckar. Vi hittade massor med hårstrån överallt. Badkaret var inte städat. Badrumsgolvet skulle varit vitt men var ingrott med smuts. På framsidan av villa suiten fanns en såkallad bubbelpool, den var mycket motbjudande då den var smutsig och fylld med löv och en och annan groda. Poolen var inte speciellt inbjudande kändes smutsig, vi badade inte. Solstolarna var trasiga och nedsuttna. Vissa i personalen var trevliga. Hotellet kändes nedgånget och absolut inte värt att bo på. Rekommenderas INTE.

About the hotel:
Маленький отельчик, тянет на свои 3 звезды. В номере есть все необходимое. Убираются каждый день. Если оставляешь чаевые, то уборка просто идеальная. Кондиционер гудит так, что создается впечатление, что рядом взлетает самолет, независимо от того включен он или выключен. Завтраки очень простенькие, но голодными вы не останетесь. До моря идти минут 5. Если рассматривать отель как место ночлега, то это хорошее место для вашего отдыха (дешево и сердито). Если хотите сервиса и излишеств, то нужно выбрать что-либо еще.

About the hotel:
OK, I will give you the truth, no bull. The hotel was very good and clean, ideally situated, about 3 minutes from the beach, about 30 seconds from the nearest bars and restaraunts but you could hear no noise at the hotel from the street located 50 metres away, it was situated just perfect in my opinion. The hotel staff were very freindly and helpful. The rooms were clean and air conditioned. We never had a problem. The breakfast was a very wide choice from fruit, through to rice, bacon, or omelettes and anything in between. Lots of ammenities very close by but all out of ear shot. My only gripe was the price of the hotels trips. An example was a trip to Phe Phe islands, they said 3300 bt but will give me a good discount, 2800 bt each for me and the wife. 100 metres away outside the hotel on the street corner, the same trip on the same boat, picked up from the hotel door and delivered back to the hotel door was advertised at 2500 baht each, then they said big discount on top, I asked how much for me and the wife, 2400 bt in total, thats only 1200bt each, a big saving, over £60 cheaper for the same trip. OK so the hotel has to make a profit but they were not charging me £60 more for the trip. You compare if you go there, it may be cheaper now but that was our price quoted through the Christmas period. Apart from this little gripe we have no regrets, it was a great place to stay, ideally situated, no traffic noise, very good breakfast and very pleasant staff. Mr & Mrs Fletcher
