The pool was big and well-kept! the room was very clean, and the staff was always friendly. security at the gate gave me a sense of safety. i found the facilities to be excellent. most of the staff spoke some english. This helped us communicate effectively.

i noticed the hotel is showing slight signs of wear. the photos could use an update to reflect the current condition.

mediocre stay, cleanliness issues and inflexible staff

persistent knocking stressful experience

I found the staff inflexible and quite rigid. During a misunderstanding about a night we hadn't paid for yet, they harassed us by phone repeatedly while my baby was sleeping. even after my husband explained that i was getting a massage in their own spa, they insisted on knocking persistently at our door. this seemed inappropriate and intrusive. the general attitude created a stressful experience. It definitely wasn't what i expected.

Acceptable stay with some issues

cheap food poor breakfast

The staff were always smiling and willing to help people.

The breakfast was disappointing. The food quality tasted cheap to me. Thailand has great fruit but they only served bananas and sliced watermelon. It was also the first hotel that asked for a deposit for the second room key.

The staff was friendly and helpful, and they were very kind. the room was big and spacious. the hotel is near kata night market. I found that very convenient.

The photos online are old. The hotel needs updating. housekeeping did only the very necessary tasks, such as taking out the trash. there were not enough shelves in the bathroom for my things.
