good place, short distance to the beach and breakfast is good

Overall good. Right across beach. Breakfast buffet was great. Lots of variety & omelet station. Clean. No elevators, so if stairs are an issue make sure you get a lower level room. Reception: not much personality, probably fed up with tourists. Saying hello and thank you in Thai was appreciated. The lady at the tour desk was very helpful and friendly. Laundry service: bad. The only thing bad I can say. I asked to have my laundry picked up at 9am, I waited because I had questions about the form. I had to leave the room, when I returned of course it was picked up. The binder of hotel info says laundry picked up by 10am will be delivered 6pm the following day. Next day came and no laundry. After failed call attempts I walked to the office. By now I demanded to speak someone in charge. Ana presented herself, made a call and assured me my laundry would be delivered by 9am. She stated Sunday was a holiday so it was going to take an extra day. I asked her for a discount or something because nobody mentioned it to me. I usually am pretty easy going but this is a resort with resort prices. And this was our halfway point and needed the laundry since we packed light. When I finally got the laundry, all women's clothes, I noticed the invoice that came with it was not the same invoice that I filled out. Their invoice marked some items as "Gentlemen", which have a higher price. Luckily I was smart enough to take a picture of my invoice. Back to Ana I go. Overall good, beware of laundry.

This was an extremely fun stay for me. It is just a hop-skip from the beach. The staff were soooooo friendly and always helped me with all my concerns. Many of the staff members spoke great English so communication wasn't an issue. The rooms were very nice and clean. I loved the hotel pools. Especially the pool bar where I could sit in the water on the bar stool and have drinks and eat dinner. I always felt like I got great value for my money with the room, food, and drinks. The wifi worked well. The A/C also worked well but I would have liked my room to be a bit colder. However, my room always felt cool so it wasn't a deal breaker for me. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. Lastly, I loved walking around the hotel and finding the super cute art peices of coconut they had around. Also, there is a super friendly cross guard who helps with crossing the street to the beach. Overall, a fantastic stay!!!!! The rooms towards the front of the hotel seemed much nicer. I might decide to get a better room next time but my room was everything I needed and I didn't mind the extra minute walk.

You will be put in the worst room view if you booked for the bargain rate as offered on the website

Nice hotel / villas directly across the street from Karon beach, very near to Kata. Good service, comfortable rooms, we stayed in a villa which was nice but could use updating. After returning from beach it was nice to rinse the sand off our feet in area hotel provides for its guests. Breakfast buffet very good, we also ate at hotel's restaurant once for lunch, very friendly attentive staff, and we also ate there once or twice for dinner, good selection, portion size & prices. Very good Thai food & pizza, etc. I would stay here again.
