It would be better without the hyperbole
I need to be very clear here to avoid being unfair. So, first of all, this is a perfectly nice hotel, with fully renovated rooms, and I bet you will be just fine booking here.
The hotel is on the beach (the quiet side of Chaweng), and, as I said, is a perfect valid choice.
But, I also must say: it would be better without the hyperbole. According to the hotel, I was staying in a "Superior Villa" in a beach front "resort". That is stretching things to the breaking point.
This is a small beach front hotel, with a pool (but that ain't a resort), and with cosy bungalows. Described like that, you feel much better. Because the "Superior Villa" is a boxy room, with almost 0 space for clothes (and I travel super light). It is not Superior to anything, and it is most certainly not a Villa (yes it is a standalone structure rather than a room in a building, but that ain't a Villa).
When travelling, we all play games with words (we call staying the whole day on the beach "exploring other cultures" while hotels freely use words like deluxe or villa). I understand the game, but sometimes it goes too far.
Again, there is nothing wrong with the place. The rooms are new, the breakfast is ok, and the beach is quite nice. Wait for the low tide, walk a bit to your right, and you have even clearer water. The scenery is what you want to relax and enjoy your vacations. Just know what your are paying for.

Wouldn't recommend
This resort is definitely only a 3* resort. It is quite old looking from the front with a small entrance / reception area. When we first got there the shower water was luke warm, but this did improve in the following days. Our biggest annoyance was there were no towel rails or hooks to hang your towel and no toilet roll holders so the toilet roll had to sit on top of the wash basin. The breakfast was fairly basic with the usual fruit, cereal, choice of eggs and bacon. The pool was very small and seemed to be only used by small children staying at the resort. The resort did have a lift which for two 74 year olds was good. Also the beach area had far more beach lounges and umbrellas than any of the other resorts nearby. It was a shame that each day the beach was covered with plastic bottles and rubbish coming in on the tide. There was also only 2 English TV channels and these were News Channels.

Relaxing beach getaway with great staff
The room (No.: 403) was dirty on arrival, but after we reported it to the reception, they cleaned it tomorrow morning and sincerely apologized for the inconvenience. After that, it was kept clean every day. The breakfast was delicious, with a great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, and a nice mix of European and Thai dishes. We really enjoyed the variety and the beachside location of the restaurant. The staff was always helpful, kind and polite with us. The male receptionist spoke very good English and made check-in and check-out smooth and easy. The hotel team made us feel welcome throughout our stay. The à la carte food was also delicious, especially the Thai dishes we ordered. Presentation and portion size were both satisfying. The beach was clean and good, even though the water had a bit of algae. Compared to other beaches on the island, this one was still one of the better and calmer spots. We really appreciated being able to relax there. The happy hour cocktails were tasty and came with a good discount, a perfect way to enjoy the sunset by the sea. The only thing I didn’t like was the coffee at breakfast, it was quite bad, and there was no alternative milk (lactose-free or plant-based options). This would be easy to improve for guests with dietary needs. Altogether, it was a very good experience. A lovely hotel with a beautiful tropical garden, nice rooms, and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend it.

Little piece of paradise
Wonderful hotel at a moderate price . We were greeted by Stephen at reception who is an amazing person so helpful and accommodating , a great front of house advertisement for the hotel . We had a ground floor room that had been renovated not to long ago , very clean with fresh towels plus beach towels everyday and great in room amenities like hot drinks, shampoo, shower gel and safe etc just perfect for us with just a few steps away from the pool and beach. The breakfast was ample each day and the dining room team extremely polite and friendly . There is no rush or getting up early for a sun lounger by the pool or beach as there is ample loungers for everyone , which is great when you wish to relax on holiday at the private beach and pool. The location of the hotel is excellent as it’s a short walk into the hub of Chewang with its many restaurants and bars , but just far enough away for peace and quiet if you want that also . There is a massage hut on the beach were you will find a clean and experienced team available all day to relax you for the day or to start your holiday. We travel the world and can say this is a great location with a friendly team , and is definitely value for money . Thank you 🙏
