No bathtubs in either bathroom, not an issue for us. Rooms were very clean, well-kept, daily housekeeping. Size and arrangement of rooms very much dependent on rooms, not all rooms are well...

Access to the rooms wasn't good - many steps! - but the porter service was good.

Room is very spacious with excellent view of Kata Beach. Minus point, there are too many steps from lobby to rooms so it's pretty tiring if you go out often.
