Really good Stay, Nice Service and Beautiful Amenities
The breakfast variety was excellent with fresh options (I loved the omelets!). The infinity pool offered a refreshing escape with ample space for relaxation. The beach was well-kept.
The in-room coffee could use an upgrade, instant coffee didn't quite match the otherwise high standards.

They was very kind to my daughters. Rooms was clean. Hotel was nice, and I appreciate all green areas. Kids room was great. The staff always organized new activities.
The room was small. There was only one chair for one room, so it was inconvenient. The bathroom does not have a towel rack that you can reach from the shower. The room was very loud, because you could hear the air conditioning.

Breakfast service was good. There was always many options, and the service was very attentive. The restaurant also had a range of Thai dishes available. The food preparation was always fresh and good.

The staff are very attentive and are always asking if everything is okay. I see that staff is always smiling and are willing to assist. I am grateful with kindness from staff.
The beach area was clean and not very crowded , a PLUS.
I found the hotel tired and noted that the pool area NEEDS refurbishment. The hotel is a drive from the market where bars and restaurants exist. Ultimately , I will not return.
