Decent for a short getaway
Pros:
- Spacious 2 bed-room serviced apartment with 2 separate bathrooms
- Gorgeous pool area with ample lounge chairs and a cosy reading corner
- Safe and relatively accessible with a car
Cons:
- The apartment was extremely dark in general even during the day
- Gym was a little small although decent
- Service wasn't great - and I guess because we were not long-term guests we did not get a good room. It was pretty noisy at night.
Review by Teri K Singapore, Singapore
A big decepetion
We stayed as a family for 1 week at the end of August 2024 in this hotel. Our experience was extremely disappointing due to the complex's many deficiencies. Namely:
Main flaw: its location
The residence is located in a “No Mans Land”, i.e. the shops and beaches are too far to walk to. You'll need a car or scooter to explore the area. The residence is located in a wasteland surrounded by buildings under construction (the noise is permanent and therefore very disturbing to sleep). The view outside (not of the pool) is not clear or overlooks a wasteland.
The residence itself:
Modern look BUT everything is painted black, i.e. wall, ceiling, terrace, curtains, light switches and dark wooden furniture. By the way, there are a multitude of light switches in the apartment, which are poorly placed and do nothing to improve the brightness of the rooms, ESPECIALLY at night. The look of the corridors leading to the bedrooms is frighteningly sinister. There are several different types of Wi-Fi in the residence, all of which are equally defective, making television unusable.
Other shortcomings:
Lack of sunbeds around the pool, no hotel activities for residents (bar, theme evenings, music, children's activities), no towels available. The restaurant in the complex is very limited in terms of menu choice, prices are expensive for those known of Thailand, the staff understand absolutely no English and make mistakes on orders, and the restaurant is freezing cold.
Having stayed in several residences over a period of more than 3 weeks, this one is the most disappointing from every point of view. We will never return.
Highly recommend :)
only stayed at Saturdays residence for one night but my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it! Bed was so comfy, food & service were amazing, amenities (pool, gym, sauna) were so nice. We took advantage of the spa as well & got a Thai massage- definitely recommend! Prices were decent and services were amazing! All around, great experience staying here and would do it again!
Ideal Honeymoon
Wonderful stay at Saturday Residence. The staff is incredibly welcoming and the breakfast is amazing. I highly recommend getting the orange espresso and French toast.
We had a wonderful stay
The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with kitchenware and a washing machine, which made our stay very comfortable. The facilities are excellent, and the hotel also offers a great selection of restaurants with many healthy food options. Breakfast and à la carte menus had a wide variety to choose from.
The staff were very helpful from the moment we arrived. On the first night, our room had some noise from a nearby dog, but the team quickly assisted us and offered a room change. The new room was perfect clean, quiet, and very comfortable.
One small point for improvement would be the bedroom curtains, as some light still comes through in the morning.
On the day of check-out, we enjoyed a relaxing massage, and the hotel kindly offered us a late check-out, which we really appreciated.
Overall, an amazing place to stay, and we are definitely looking forward to coming back again.
