Lovely stay , hotel is positioned just right I feel. Not too close to the town and just around 10 mins either by tuk tuk or taxi to patong on a good day. Bit hilly so may not be good for people with mobility issues. Lots of steps to our room which was in block 5 . The room is so spacious and cleaned daily on request.

Bit hilly so may not be good for people with mobility issues. Lots of steps to our room which was in block 5 . The room is so spacious and cleaned daily on request. Everyone is only to happy to help . Everyone is polite and friendly. The adult pool was serene and was a nice sanctuary away from the families with younger children . We stayed bed and breakfast. Lots of choice and everything you could want . Reception staff are always happy to help and we even got an upgrade on arrival .Hotel is Right on the beach , there are plenty of restaurants further down the road and some shops . I particularly like the famous 7/11 , so cheap and very handy . Lovely experience of Thailand so far .. Read less

Grounds were beautiful but that was it! Old resort, adult pool in need of renovating all the tiles around the pool were falling off and not very clean. Room was not great and not clean to my standard. Very old furniture and bed/bedding not that great. Breakfast had a huge selection, but the quality wasn’t there, my husband couldn’t eat it. Dinner in the evening was lovely, very surprised, Italian chef Stephano was very accommodating. We ate there every night. Ken the manager gave us club access as he knew we were not happy. Don’t pay extra not worth it! Would definitely not go back, this hotel is NOT a 5 star!!! Read less
