We had to pay to use wifi and it wasn't cheap. 100baht per hour which we thought was pretty steep considering the amount you pay to stay there. The hot food at breakfast was always cold so not enjoyable. Located at top of very steep hill but ok if your young and fit. Overall poor value for money and wouldn't recommend it.
Great swimming pool, good food, nice view on to the beach. We received free upgrade to villa for 3 days, but the hotel would not agree to extend this upgrade for longer and at full price this would be a poor value for money.
The hill is approx 200 walk, quite steep, but had no problem with a toddler on my hands. 400m to the beach.
Beautiful hotel overlooking the beach, very clean...
Beautiful hotel overlooking the beach, very clean with lovely helpful staff. Nice food and very cheap. Situated on a steep hill, however any young, fit person would not have a problem with it. For older people,taxis and the hotel shuttle buses are ideal. Very enjoyable stay!
Fabulous hotel, very posh and the staff treat you like royalty. Everything is clean & tidy. Perfect for sun lounging and a romantic feel. It is at the top of a very steep hill however so not suitable for the elderly (although you can get a tuk tuk up which we did everyday!). They do offer a free shuttle service to and from the town though which is good. It is only a 4-5 minute walk down the hill into town which is good. The hotel food/drink is very expensive I would advise (but with smart hotels you are going to get this though). Thoroughly happy with this hotel and I would recommend it to friends and family.
The hotel was very nice apart from the construction work going on. During our stay there was building work going on in the main reception next to the pool and restaurant. One night the work even went on to past 9pm and it was impossible to relax by the pool in the day with the constant drilling going on.
The hotel would not give us a refund or a discounted rate when we wanted to leave because of the noise.
The breakfast was very expensive for what you got
The hotel is also on a steep hill which is difficult to walk up. The Tuk tuks also charge a very high price to take you up the hill although it is less than a mile from the centre
As a family of 5, we had a really enjoyable and relaxing stay. The staff are very friendly and obliging. The views over the bay are sensational and well worth been up the very steep hill away from the beach. The pools and gardens are very aesthetic and the self serve buffet breakfast is excellent. With three small children it would be good if there was an indoors games/ activity room as it is very hot in the middle of the day to be outside.
Hotel looks lovely and the staff were helpfull and friendly. Very nice land scaping every where.
Room was excellent, lovely laid out pool(s). Big room and bed.
It was at the top of a steep bit of hill which takes quite a walk if you are up to it, but the views are fanstic down onto Kata beach.
For tours you will likely be the first picked up and last dropped off.
Lots of pools/ponds, and I think that resulted in a lot of mozzies around that get into the rooms! Rooms could do to have small bug zappers or traps.
I would stay there again. FANTASTIC value for money!
First impressions arent good when you cross ferry to island but it gets better!Ferry was hard to find and no one mentioned that last one goes by 6.00pm so dont be any later and leave plenty of time if travelling independently. However once you arrive its a lovely spot right on perfect beach and bungalows are very good and modern with most facilities that you would want in room.We were there getting towards end of season so few rooms let and very quiet.They had shut beach bar and was nowhere near pool or beach to buy drinks at anytime.Pool was small and although fine for us (we were only ones using it most days)it would never cope if most bungalows let. Restaurant staff were very willing and food was good but SOOOO slow in arriving.On one night we were busy(!!)there were six tables at dimmer last one to be served waited at least an hour and a half for any food even though they had small child with them.When it did arrive it was in dribs and drabs so the family ate at different times. Not Good but unless you had own transport very much tied to hotel and no options open to you. This place is great for honeymoon or a complete break and rest.If you like the beach its great but nothing else to do once the sun goes down. We had 3 nights and think that about right ...I was ready to leave but did enjoy it.
