| "Our first impression of the hotel was not great as we had requested interconnecting rooms thru both asiarooms & to the hotel directly only to be give rooms 3 doors apart. we changed rooms on nite 2 only to have the wrong bedding. BUT that was only our experience. The room was large & clean. the kids loved the towels made into elephants. the bathroom was v.large but the shower was moudly & we ran out of loo paper twice as there are no spares left in the room. We also experienced the typical water pressure problems and the temp changing from luke warm to boiling then to freezing. the daily clean was very good. the pool was lovely-large & clean. they have added a little wadding pool that was perfect for the kids. they provide towels for the pool & beach free. the b'fast was terrible. there were fruit flies all over the fruit, cheese left uncovered & not cooled in anyway. you had to cook your own bacon and on the first day the bacon simply fat but was better day 2. choice limited. good things - v.cold milk for cereal and bake beans. The location is good. a very short walk to a small night market/food area and only short walk to the beach. The reception area and restaurant are open air pavillions so in the hottest months there would be no relief. There was a wifi service but VERY expensive to access. no rubbish in lane as mentioned in previous reviews. HINT the small tour office at the end of lane was the cheapest in town and also did cheap laundry. Besides our room mix up (which did put a downer on the whole experience) the resort was nice. We had come from a very nice place in Patong and hence were a little disappointed here. I would look around at other hotels but if this is the one that fits your price etc then I think you will be satisfied (just dont expect a great b'fast :)). Personally, I found the resort expensive (we were there in high season) but overall Ao nang is more expensive. Have a great holiday." |

| "There are some bad and good points about this place.
Good points being that it's so cheap and affordable. The thai food at the restaurant/room service food is amazingly delicious and so cheap.
The pool is always so nice and clean and has a pool bar in the middle with cocktails at very affordable prices. Another good thing about this place was that it was clean. They have a tourism office downstairs for easy booking of tours you might want to go on. There's a huge variety.
Bad points being that there was just tooo many mosquitoes there. i was constantly being bitten. word of caution. be sure to turn up the air condition in your room to keep pesky pests away from you at night. they will only come out when it's hot and humid in the room. Another bad point was that the staff spoke very little english except for one lady. It was hard to communicate with them and ask for things.
I think overall it's quite an ok place to stay at. If the mosquitoes didn't live there, i think i would of gave this hotel a much higher rating! If you're not prone to mozzie bites then this place is really quite affordable." |

| "The employees at reception (especially the ones of the early day shift when we stayed there) were very kind, friendly and helpful during that one week's stay in one of the deluxe rooms at the end of February 2008. However the quality of service did not meet the standard which can be expected at a resort of that category. There is a lack of attention to the detail: one day there were no handtowels, the other day a bathtowel was missing (it took two calls at front desk within 90 minutes until somebody brought the towels), some other day the bath tub wasn't cleaned or a stained bedsheet not changed. We are still waiting for an answer of the management to our complaint concerning the massively overpriced internet access rates (the resort was choosen by us especially because of the WiFi-Access to the internet in the rooms)!
The internet access is offered via a provider (www.kirz.com) by far too expensive (overpriced) rates. It doesn't matter whether the internet-stations in the lobby and near the pool bar or the WiFi-Access in the rooms is used. The following rates did apply in February 2008 when we were staying there:
30 min THB 100.00 valid 7 days
60 min THB 180.00 valid 7 days
01 day THB 500.00 valid 1 day
07 days THB 1'800.00 valid 7 days
All the public Internet-Cafés along Beach Road are much cheaper though, at rates of "only" THB 60.00 / Hour. Usually they charge by the minute.
