    The pool was quite warm midday/ afternoon but in the morning enjoyable and with the size understandable.

    The bed was great, like the rest of the room very big and the bath robes the comfiest thing ever. The breakfast buffet was very diverse and suited for everyone and something different every day. The introduction was nice, and the food was good. Room service was always good. The location is very close to the market and beach but still quiet and super tidy. Like a little oasis. The happy our and drinks at the beach were really good.

    Nothing - loved everything

    Could not fault it. It’s a beautiful resort. We had pool access room. We are in Thailand so don’t expect bacon and sausage like at home, take it as a nice gesture they even offer such a thing. Would 100% stay again.

    Pool was very good but water too warm,breakfast was great for Thai people but not so good for British

    Breakfast is OK. But like most large hotels in Thailand they have moved from freshly cooking eggs to pre cooking them and placing them in warmers. The griddled eggs are not as good as freshly fried and can be cold. As can the poached and scrambled. The egg station used to be a favourite at breakfast. Sadly not now.

    Location in Bang Niang is great.The hotel is very central for everything.It is an adult themed hotel. The pool access rooms are lovely, if a little tired. But they offer a good degree of privacy. The new rattan coach on the patio is a great addition.Staff are friendly and very attentive.

    Gym was small, only 1 treadmill and it is old. Not so sure whether it get a cleaning daily. Our balcony was facing the wall and I can see there is not much cleaning on that side Pool bar staffs are not as friendly as the rest of the staff's in the hotel

    Pool was nice, my kids had fun there, enough amount of sun beds Breakfast buffet have good variety of food and the staffs were quick and friendly Location is good, 5 min walking to the next beach 15min taxi ride to coconut or sandy beach The are cafe and restaurant ans also food stalls near the hotel Massage was great, a bit of discretion (curtain or shade) would be more appreciated

    Nothing

    Upon arrival our room was ready for us to check in early. Beautiful big room with huge bed which was super comfy and there was a big double shower which was great. The hotel is in a good location with lots of bars and restaurants just a minutes walk away. The beach is a 5 minute walk and the beach and sea were beautiful and not too busy. We had breakfast and have to say it was great, there was so much choice and the egg station was good. We had a massage at the pool and it was excellent value for an hours treatment. We particularly liked that each area of the hotel had its own pool area so it was never too busy, we did use the main pool area on a couple of occasions and enjoyed the swim up bar

    Rooms are in need of small renovation, our room was a bit worn in some points. Pool bar guy could smile a bit more and not be so grumpy.

    Great hotel. Beautiful pool area. There were enough sunbeds and not all of them were reserved before breakfast. Straight access to pool from the room big plus. Best massage place in the near area inside the hotel area. Good location, hotel is close to many great restaurants.

    Great hotel, definitely book a pool access room they are great, we were around one of the smaller pools and it was generally very guiet, they have also added double seats on the patio which have not appeared in any pictures a lovely place to read a book in the shade. Breakfast good but slightly limited, easy walk to many restaurants, market, tsunami monument and beach. Would definitely recommend and would return.
