Nice hotel, well located on the beach, watched a few sunsets from the beach bar. Staff very friendly and always willing to help. Breakfast was adequate, but I preferred eating out at the local coffee shops as there was a greater selection

Good value & great location
Good value for money. Great location next to beach and street life. Didn't use hotels pools as they seemed quite dirty and beach and the ocean were superb. Breakfast was mediocre, nothing fancy but gets you fueled up for morning activities. Beach bar is nice for summer sets :)

We had to leave our stay early because our entire cabin was infested with ants. They were on the walls and all over our bathroom. The location was good but the resort was overall very dirty and the staff didn’t seem to care very much when we told them.

Awesome property- Pros: big, clean room overlooking the beach & pool in easily walkable area for restaurants, shops, bars etc
Cons: a/c was on a lock that read 16, but we could've get much relief- especially at night when critical; pool closed at 8p- needed later due to heat; staff while professional, no sense of hospitality- clearly "OVER IT" with the gazillions of young backpackers; their on site massage should put hotel guests to top of wait list over young johnny off the beach

Location is good
We didn’t get the room we had paid for on the first night because the air conditioning was broken. We asked for compensation, but they said we could check out if we weren’t happy. We were too exhausted from the sea journey to go looking for another hotel. The rooms are quite clean, nothing disturbing. The breakfast is rather poor, but this isn’t a luxury hotel anyway. The location is good, right by the beach and close to restaurants.

Had a great stay here. Reserved the poolside Seaview room, which is located at the front of the property. I was on the second floor, so it wasn’t as nice as it would be on the first floor. The furnishings in bathroom were a little rough and dated. But the property is very conveniently located to everything. They also have a dive shop and restaurant. I dove with them for three days and it was great. The bed was rock hard, but I asked the front desk for a mattress pad and that did the trick. Overall, it was a great stay. They also offer free shuttle service to and from the pier, so when you get off the ferry look for the sign from the driver.

I really liked how well the hotel is located, right in front of the beach and with a convenient restaurant in place.
When you book this hotel, make sure you take pictures about the room you have booked, cause when I arrived and did the check in, the staff took me to a room, which was far away from the beach and it was different from the one shown in the picture. I then told them that it was not the type of room I had booked and finally they took me to the right one, which was very spacious, with a comfortable bed, a great shower pressure and a big balcony.
Different staff members knocked the door many times 45 minutes, 30 and 10 minutes before the check out time, which I found very disrespectful.
The lady in the reception was very rude and unprofessional with my friend and I and made my experience stressful. The guy that collects the ticket for the breakfast was also rude and impolite. It's a shame this happened because the resort is beautiful, full of palm trees and plants and with a perfect sunset view from the restaurant deck.

Our first night was unbearable with loud doof doof music rattling our windows til 4.30am. We requested to move and was relocated to a 2 bdr villa further away from the nightlife . They knew straight away we would be requesting to be moved. Property needs maintenance however the location is beautiful and so convenient on walking street. Very hard beds and my hips ached however they put a topper on the bed for me without hesitation. Huge variety of places to eat, safe with kids who loved the independence. It wasn’t a party resort which suited us, however a party isn’t far away. it was a nice blend of variety and location along with the ability to sleep at night. Completed our open water dive certification with the onsite SSI centre which gives you further discount on your accomodation. Beach was nice and clean with rubbish picked up every day. Breakfast included had variety of hot Asian dishes, toast, cereal, pancakes and fruit. No pastries however that didn’t bother us. Beautiful to eat on the beach front every breakfast. Easy to use hotel transport to the other side of the island, same price as everywhere else.

This place sounds like a nice resort online but the reality is totally different.
The staff we unfriendly, unhelpful and looked like they hated their jobs (all except a young man on reception who was polite and helpful).
The pool was green and looked like it doesn’t get cleaned so we didn’t use it, which was a real shame.
Our room smelt strongly like damp and the beds were hard as wooden planks. The room was very dark and had lots of mosquitoes all the time. There were also dead bugs squashed all over the walls which hadn’t been cleaned.
The resort is a building site which was not clear when booked.
We paid the same as we had done to stay in Bandara resort in Koh Samui, thinking there were a similar standard - but unfortunately this was not the case.
The only positive is the location, very close to all the restaurants and shops and sairee beach.
Overall - don’t book this place, you’d be better off in a cheap bungalow somewhere else.
