The pictures we seen on our booking are not what the hotel really look like there is construction everywhere and it’s very difficult to get sleep with all the noise. Also the language. Barrier is very bad. They should have someone who can speak English. I can send pictures if you would like

Unable to sleep because of noise. The rooms are positioned around a main gathering area. Music until about 9:30pm and then people stayed well past midnight. The people were not really that loud but i feel the rooms were so poorly designed to not block any noise you could hear them regardless.
Shower was also very bad. Very hot or very cold were your options.
We liked the convenient location. The staff, room and amenities were good. Only disappointment was load construction that we didn’t know about making it hard to relax by the pool.
Our stay was comfortable and convenient. Staff was nice and they allowed us to check in early which was great. But please note there is a long walk through the city in order to reach the beach. This is not a beachfront resort at all.

Was disappointed that our grand deluxe room did not have the nice balcony represented in the pictures. When asked the staff they said those are for rooms on the other side of the building, not the side you got. The large room was nice but the real appeal to a grand deluxe was a nice big balcony with lounge chairs especially since pool is really busy and pool area didn’t look clean.
As with all other reviews the cash deposit is strange. We got it all back but you have to wait durng check out for someone to go check your room. All over Thailand and this is the one hotel that we saw so this.

Staff - as across Thailand are lovely! Could not be kinder or more helpful.
Sadly, our party of 5 found the breakfast of poor quality and taste.
There is massive villa complex being constructed right next door so expect noise.
The hotel, whilst the rooms are sound proof, the building is not - I could hear cutlery noise at one point and always loud people talking.
We had a grand deluxe balcony room, yet there was absolutely nowhere to put two suitcases, bad design.
Location is good and onsite parking is helpful.
Hotel is precious of towels and keeps cound of jow many you have and is very strict about charging for any marks or damage to hotels, so there must have been issues in the past.
The room was dirty. Disgusting stains on the lounge. Sliding doors broken. Room did not look anything as described. Bed was extremely uncomfortable. Bugs in the room. Linens were not clean. Buffet breakfast was a disgrace, not a buffet at all, and definitely don’t cater for dietary requirements. They offered an upgrade, but after that experience we decided to leave as the hotel was terrible straight away. No refund was given and would not recommend staying there.
The hotel was excellent. I was very happy with the staff, they treated us so well. Everyone from the front desk to housekeeping into the restaurant, always treated us so well and always had a smile on their face.
This place was one of the best places we have stayed in all of Thailand.
The staff were great, the pool was excellent, which the kids loves.
We got an upgrade, which was a pleasant surprise for our family of 5.
Whilst not directly property related, the construction next door can be nosiy and some of the guest from Russia can be very rude to staff and other guest.
I would stay again
