Our trip in February 2012
My partner and i checked into the hotel for 3 nights on our way to a 15 night stay on the islands. We chose this hotel as we had problems finding another 5 star hotel with a balcony (within a reasonable cost). Upon arriving at the hotel we were checked in and shown to our room,We noticed straight away that there was a no smoking sign in our room which wasn't a problem as we had a balcony and wouldn't smoke in the room anyway. Upon asking if it was ok to smoke on the balcony we were told that the whole hotel was no smoking. Yes i mean all of the hotel apart from a small smoking corner close to the restaurant. We were really annoyed that first this was not mentioned on asiarooms site or even the hotel website. Please be aware that the hotel is very close to other properties as we found out on our first night, Thai karaoke was played until midnight and then the band came on to finish the night off !!!! Don't get me wrong, this is a good hotel is your a none smoker and have got some great ear plugs. We travel on long haul holidays 3 times a year and have never felt the need to post reviews of hotels weather they are good or not so good, but felt that this hotel had let us down in so many ways.
