RUDE STAFF
Very rude staff on exit accusing us of stealing hand towels then charging us for them. We obliged to pay due to the fact this was making us late for transfer as this altercation lasted over half an hour. During this multiple other guests were being delayed as they were trying to hand over room keys. clearly poorly run.Multiple Staff were rude throughout our stay especially during breakfast huffing and puffing to the littlest requests. Would not recommend.
Enjoyed staying here
We stayed here 5 nights and had a great time. Regular shuttle bus to the beach (every 30mins through the day) Our room was clean, spacious with everything we needed. The long swimming pool was always quiet and we even used the fitness centre. Breakfast was really good and all the staff were polite and helpful.

Do t stay here , unless you want an hostel experience where the staff are rude
You front staff are rude and helpful and don’t smile . This hotel is disappointing as if gives Thailand a very bad name .
I will be telling everyone I meet how bad the food and service was . You should be very disappointed. Also only one pillow each the bed was sooo hard that it felt like I was sleeping on the ground
Photos & facilities on website are misleading.
On arrival the hotel looked lovely, our room was very clean & spacious with what appeared to be a super king size bed, large bathroom with separate bath & shower. What is misleading is the photos used on their website to what you actually get. It’s my belief that the photos date back to when the hotel was originally opened. The pictures of our room were accurate if you exclude the red coloured runners on the beds, towel displays & flowers. The beds are very firm & we found them painfull to sleep on. The pool bar didn’t open until midday, it lacked atmosphere as there was no background music, the drinks were basic & they didn’t sell snacks/ice cream etc. The sunbeds were basic black beds with no padding, approx 20 beds in total & 6 parasol for a hotel that has 152 rooms. However, beds were always available as no one really used it. (Probably due to lack of facilities). The main restaurant on the roof top was closed for renovation but this was not disclosed at the time of booking. The breakfast had a lot of choice but the hot food was cold. The downstairs restaurant tables were never dressed with tablecloths on an evening as seen in website photos & very few guests dined there. All staff had limited to very little English language. The reception staff always had a smile but the others serving breakfast or working the pool bar very rarely smiled, made eye contact or interacted & appeared very miserable in their roles. During our 14 night stay we didn’t come across any other English residents & the majority of nationals appeared to be Russians. This hotel may have been a 4* originally but I would only give it a 2* in its present condition. Probably an ideal short stay hotel but not a great place for a 7/14 night holiday.
I have added photos from website to photos taken 27/03/2025 for comparison*

Good value for money in low season
The hotel is nice. A bit old, but good value for money.
Rooms: very big and bright, cleaned every day, double bed is comfortable. There is everything you need there including mini fridge, hair dryer, kettle and so on. I’d recommemd to get a room on the top floor with the seaview, otherwise you may end up in a room facing the wall. In those with the seaview you can enjoy breathtaking sunsets.
Staff: nice, smiley, friendly enough, attentive to needs. I didn’t encounter any troubles.
Food: breakfasts were nice, plenty to choose from. But once or twice fried eggs and veggies seemed not fresh. Easily solved - asked for freshly cooked scramble eggs instead. Croissant were yummy.
Location: the hotel is in the second street from the beach. You need to walk about 10-12 mins to get there. Part of the road goes along the highway. I don’t mind walking but it could be tough on elderly or kids, especially walking up the hill. All the major facilities are also 5-7 mins walk away (7/11; exchange, cafes and restaurants, fruit stalls, laundry etc.)
Although my room was facing the main road it was very quiet with balcony doors closed. Actually two times I stayed there it was a low season and the number of visitors was very little. I hardly saw people and it was deathly quiet during evening which was exactly what I was looking for. Awesome for relaxation. Not sure about the high season though.
