Loved this place - it is a small boutique hotel but has two pools (one for each wing) and large common areas so it doesn't feel crowded. With piped music, newspapers, comfy leather armchairs, free internet room etc it feels a bit like a private club - it is chilled and relaxing - the photos give an accurate idea of what it is like. Friendly atmosphere amongst the guests (all either Scandanavian or Aussie it seems at this time of year) and the staff are helpful/pleasant and can speak ok English. I booked for one night and am still here a week later, don't want to leave! I upgraded to a larger room after a couple of days as the standard room is a bit tight - but the studios are large with a big balcony and much bigger bathroom so are worth the extra. Plasma TV has good range of English channels including Australia TV for the AFL finals :-) Breakfast is very good. Location is excellent; a short walk across a quiet road and through the park to the beach which has lots of beachfront restaurants and a very upmarket beach bar/club for cocktails to watch the sunset (like Ku-de-ta bar in Seminyak, Bali- tres chic) - Surin is a beautiful beach and you don't get hassled, its relaxed. Also, the resort has its own free sundecks, towels etc on the beach. What's not to like?
I am highly recommending this place to friends back home in Melbourne already!
