Great location, only one minute walk to an access way to Kata beach. For anyone who is not familiar with Kata, there are only 2 small alley to access to this beach. Even though the map show your hotel is very close to the beach, it may take 1/2 hour walk, if it's not close to the access. That's why I said Chanalai has a great location.
Although hotel is not a brand new one, it is well maintained. In fact, it was just renovated. The hotel has all facilities we need - pool, jacuzzi, pool bar, 24 hr gym, restaurant, a safe in each room.
All every staffs are so friendly and helpful - from security guards, bell boys, receptionist, maids, waiters/waitresses, etc.
Breakfast may not have various kinds of food but they are tasty. We also try lunch at the hotel, their food is much better than many restaurants outside.
This hotel very impressive. In short, i strongly recommend it.
