Lovely hotel AMAZING staff

One of the best hotels we stayed at on our trip to Thailand! THe staff is simply amazing, they were extremely helpful and did not know what else to do to make us happy. Our flight didn't leave until late at night and even after we checked out they let us stay around and made sure we were comfy enough. The hotel room was extremely clean and beautiful. The hotel is well located for a relaxing trip but if you want to go in search of action it is 15 minutes away from the Fisherman's village. The only downside are the mosquitoes as they have a lot of stagnant water. I absolutely loved this hotel and would come back again!

When we first arrived they had no record of our reservation through Expedia or that we had already paid. If you’d like to go, book directly with the property- don’t do it through Expedia. They were able to accommodate us anyways with their last available room. Our room was very beautiful. It was in the middle of a garden, up on the 2nd floor. We had a patio with a view of the ocean. The bathroom is an outdoor bathroom off the side of our room. Still very private, but we’d never had that before so it was interesting. TV didn’t work, but we couldn’t have cared less about that. They had Wi-Fi, the room was comfortable enough. It’s got open-air bug screens around the ceiling of the room, so you can always hear the ocean waves and the cars on the street nearby. Theres a big fan & AC still, so it’s a comfortable temperature in the room. There isn’t any restaurant or food offerings at the hotel, but there are restaurants within a 2 minute walk up and down the beach from the hotel. At night it’s very dark. There’s no lights around the property or the street outside and we used our phones lighting up the street when we walked to dinner. The beach had garbage around. We didn’t try any of the spa services or the gym, so I can’t comment on those. In summary, I would say that we enjoyed our stay and the staff was really lovely at accommodating us. It is definitely a more unique hotel stay in my experience, so if you want a full-service hotel this may not be for you.

I didn't like it.

I just I didn't like it. I think it doesn't worth to pay a lot of money.The view is awful to me. it was actually infront of the sea but the sea seems not good because there were some withered trees and trash ,and the sea is to sharrow so seemed not good... I just I hated to see the view. if it were more and more cheaper, it could have been ok ... but I think it was too expensive to pay the money even though I used the coupon. the room was clean but the door of bathroom doesn't close easily and the furniture seems a little scarely. the room is dark and wifi didn't work at all. it was much better to stay in the hostel which is much cheaper than this hotel . I also didn't like the location because it is far away from town. if it had a nice view it doesn't matter , but the view is not good and the room was dark and the wifi doesn't work at all , so I felt not ok... especially for me, it was the stay just by myself so the room looked very scarely . well, this is just my opinion so please feel what you feel.

Paradise in paradise

The staff here are awsome, and so friendly. Jane was really helpful and spoke the best English of any Thai we have met. If you want a fairly secluded resort with a quite beach don't pass this up. I would like to thank all the staff here for allowing us to celebrate songkran with them.

Huono hinta-laatusuhde

Ei rahoille vastinetta. Vaatimaton mukavuustaso hintaan verrattuna. Liian kova ilmastointi, jota ei saanut säädettyä. Hyttysiä tavallista enemmän pihassa olevien lammikoiden takia.

Отель сад спа

Нам нужно было провести только одну ночь в данном отеле, на следующее утро вылет обратно. Прекрасный сад - пруд с рыбами, цветы повсюду, музыка - похоже на рай! заказали программу спа на двоих, расслаблялись по полной! Прекрасное место, рекомендуем для спокойного отдыха!
