I would definitely stay here again. Very nice resort with a beach bar, pool, nice views. We stayed 3 nights but you could spend a week on this resort easily. Once you leave the resort, it’s fairly busy place. We scootered everywhere but the roads are definitely not as smooth as other places we’ve scootered around in Thailand.

The resort is very nice but room for improvement. Nothing is ideal here for anyone handicapped; the walkways are uneven with interlocking set in sand, there are stairs to every building but no ramps anywhere, the bathroom showers have deep step-in tubs without any safety grab bars, the beach is multi level to the shore and the pool has no stairs into the shallow end with only a ladder to climb from the deep end. The breakfast was fantastic with a huge selection to chose from, the disappointment was in the daily juice, it wasn't fresh and tasted like an instant syrup water mixture. All the staff were very pleasant except the one woman that works at the front desk, she was never interested in hearing about a problem or working out a solution - very abrupt and not interested in offering any customer service - she should not be dealing with the public.

We hoped for a beachfront bungalow or cottage and this turned out to be better than we ever expected. The beach was close to the room, the ocean was warm and clear, it was the best wave pool I’ve ever seen.

The beach is beautiful but beware of booking a “beachside bungalow”. They’re not all exactly on the front row of the beach. Ours was a bit further back. Only like 10 seconds walk but we couldn’t really see the sea. Try to book/ask for front row beachside. It’s quite a basic hotel… but authentic Thai style. Lots of restaurants within walking distance and a short taxi to Chaweng.

Very comfortable rooms, nice beds, lovely pool,I loved the ponds outside the rooms. Yummy breakfast. My only concern was the fridge and TV socket was very dodgy the fridge kept turning off, and the connection to the TV was making crackling noises. So I managed to pull the TV plug out to stop it from sparking, it looked to me that the plug socket was broken.
