I don't think our stay was helped...
I don't think our stay was helped by the fact that it was the school holidays and the place was OVER RUN with kids! We were on our honeymoon and the hotel was anything but a romantic peaceful get-away!
If you go in Monsoon season, beware that you can't swim in the sea and the beach drags up lots of tar which sticks to your feet and means walking the beach equals half an hour scraping the tar off your feet afterwards! The beach bars and restaurants also disappear leaving you with no choice but to eat in the extortionate resorts restaurants!
We had a nightmare check-in which seemed to take ages for most people, but 5 hours for us and we were told various fabrications to as for the reason...!
The hotel also lets in canvassers (people selling their stuff) right into the hotel grounds which we thought was off - you get enough of that in the streets!
I'm sure this place out of school holidays, when the beach is accessible and they're not so busy is nice enough (we couldn't fault the cleanliness, staff etc) but beware it's miles to the nearest town (Patong - at least half an hour by taxi) and the hotel will charge you the earth to get there - you're better off walking out the front door 100yards and getting a taxi by the gate!
In school holidays this hotel effectively became an expensive Butlins, but I have family who have stayed out of season and thoroughly recommended it.
