Many areas for all to enjoy. Rooms very comfortable. Even asked to by mattress topper as it was so comfortable.
Some areas need maintenance such as Aqua Zone with rust and sharp edges. Timber rotting around pool access rooms and plenty of ant's. Overall will def come back. Easy walk to shops, markets and restaurants. And cheaper than Patong region. 6 times to Thailand and Khao Lak has been the best. And Sands best resort so far

Great resort for families with young kids. Great splash park, slides and kids club.
Walkable to main Street with plenty of eating options and transport to main night market.
Nice beach with decent breakfast each day.
Overall, the kids loved it so that's a win for the holiday.

The resort is wonderful for kids. The rooms are spacious and clean. The beds and facilities are clean and well kept up. The breakfast buffet was varied and something for everyone. We often sat there for an hour enjoying the breakfast and atmosphere. We loved the water park. Just have to pay attention to the schedule for the slide and lazy river. But the kids got used to that and enjoyed it so much that they even used it in the rainy days. The beach is walkable but no one was using the many lounging chairs because it was rainy season with red flags warnings. I highly recommend this resort for anyone who has children

The hitel is great, ita perfect for family and kids. We had access pool and that was one of the best room in Thailand.
The staff was nice but not so useful, we try to ask thung in the restaurants and they make a face. The other stuff was very nice and helpful
