underwhelming stay despite nice location
central locationunhappy stafflimited breakfast
the location was quite central, which allowed easy access to the town and beach.
The service fell short of expectations for the price. the staff seemed generally unhappy, a stark contrast to typical thai hospitality. the breakfast buffet lacked variety and the food quality didn't match the hotel's supposed standard. The thai options were particularly limited and repetitive.
i found the grounds quite spacious and organized. the hotel location is central and quiet, a combination i very much appreciated. all the staff were friendly and helpful, showing great attention to detail. the hotel ambience had very pretty xmas decorations.
i noticed that the pool could have been cleaner. i think improvements in this area would greatly enhance the guest experience. i expected a higher level of cleanliness.

The security personnel acted rudely. I would avoid returning because of this issue! The staff was barking louder at customers than the stray dogs. This kind of behavior is unacceptable in a hotel. The hotel should properly train their staff.
