We stayed here for 7 nights. + very clean room and newly renovated accommodations was a huge plus for us + good location (near lamai but still not inte middle of everything) + great staff (the security guy made half the stay!) - when leaving we were charged 50 baht ”per missing water bottles” even though we had not removed any water bottles. Not a huge cost but we felt like we were being fooled. - quite expensive restaurant with overpriced drinks

Hotel is good but could be great. Rooms are bright modern and spacious, bathroom large with good shower with good water pressure. Good AC within the room. Balcony is really a great size with table and chairs. A small kitchenette with a very cold full size fridge. These are the positives about the room, however you will notice quite a few scuff marks and damp patches that could easily be fixed. The hotel has a spare key that keeps electric on all day so room is cold to walk back into, which is great after a hot day Pool is fairly small with a few beds and cabana spread around. There is a grass area with you walk across to get to pool. Some beds are showing signs of wear and tear but most umbrellas need urgent attention. There also needs to be a rethink in positioning of beds are some are in direct sunlight with not chance of shade. There is another pool onsite but this is just an eyesore at present. Hotel seems to be starting to try and rectify the problem areas but need to continue and not stop. Breakfast was acceptable for the week we spent there but again the negative is you can only have 1 tea or coffee with breakfast? How many 4.5 star resorts would do this? Overall hotel is good value for money at present but again the downside to that for me was a 4 fold increase in prices over the Xmas period so we decided to move on Hotel is about half way between Lamai and Chaweng so expect to use the local transport to reach these for some nightlife. There are some local restaurants and bars but not loads We did see quite a bit of improvements to the hotel in the week we were there hoped that continues

“Pretty much on par for the area at this time of year I wish the Wi-Fi was working better though”

I got very frustrated with the Wi-Fi it’s 2026 why is it so spotty and unreliable? The place seems a little rundown in areas but this seems pretty typical for Lamai Beach right now t the rooms are far from the beachfront which is OK but it’s a little bit of a hike down to the pool and the beach wh… more

I got very frustrated with the Wi-Fi it’s 2026 why is it so spotty and unreliable? The place seems a little rundown in areas but this seems pretty typical for Lamai Beach right now t the rooms are far from the beachfront which is OK but it’s a little bit of a hike down to the pool and the beach which I really wasn’t expecting . It seems to be low season and not that many people are around. The staff was very nice although I must say the room itself was just fine.
