We chose this hotel because it offered reasonable rates for seaview rooms but of the 6 rooms we booked, only 2 offered unblocked and clear views of the sea. The other rooms had the view blocked because of 2 large and tall trees. Definitely not worth paying money for partial views! But we can still tolerate that cos it is no real fault of the hotel.
However, what was not acceptable was the unprofessional and rather sloppy service offered by the hotel staff, especially the front desk counter staff. We checked in and were offered 5 rooms on the 5th level and 1 on the 4th, with assurance from the staff on duty that she will change it to the same level as the rest when available. The next day when we asked, her reply was that it was not possible because the other rooms were to be occupied by frequent guests who have requested for the rooms. I would have appreciated if she had been more upfront when we checked in and not try to wiggle her way by an empty promise that she knew she could not fulfill. She was curt and very unfriendly when she said that she did not promise me that a room was definitely available. Furthermore, the rest of the staff present at the counter that morning - there were 3 of them - were laughing and joking amongst themselves when they were so-called "checking" the status of the rooms for me. Another incident which showed their lack of professionalism was when I was asked to show my receipt for payment when I checked out cos the counter staff was unsure whether she has collected payment from me.
Lastly, I would to add that one side of the rooms faces the hillside and snakes were seen in the trees there. I would definitely not go back to this hotel again when I visit phuket.
