No luxury, but OK. Beach in front of the door, but 3 meters waves were normal.
The guests from China have just learned, and so it provides food from also if you leaving. also a lot of the russians are at the start but they were very quiet. vodka was convenient. but otherwise it was really good you can go. no luxury expected if you price-performance ratio Read more

Three days in the hotel as a couple we found okay. Longer shouldn't be. No special activities and attractions in the hotel and about 1 kilometer around the hotel. (SEA) beach, karon beach broad and fine sand for swimming but bad at walk. Deep and time from lunch waves (to relax in the ocean not thought). otherwise very nice pool at the hotel was clean and everything there (are). Room was okay... Simply everything was normal average. 1500 BHT for the night (Internet). Read more

Well for a couple of days OK. Price-performance ratio was not at all. It should again be desired but was still certainly edible. The simple room in the three floors in three rows have real plattenbau-charm.
The bungalows were OK. and the pool. The hotel was very good. The Movenpick where we were is only 20 euros more expensive before-and the is a world of a difference! Also the Accor all seasons naiharn beach was to better the shoulders and not even half the price. Read more

We got a free upgrade from standard to superior room on our arrival. - in December 09
We stayed at superior room, the only issue was not enough light in the evenings to read and forst 2 day we had no hot water (we did not notify the reception as we could survive without it, may it was just a break down).
- in August 10
- in December 09
We took a look in a couple of superior rooms, thinking of upgrading but found that it was as small and musty and the furniture has certainly seen better days. - in December 09
And it's in DIRE need of renovation, especially their standard and superior rooms.

Unfortunately as we looked closer, the furniture was cracked, there was hair (not mine) in the bed, our bathroom smelled of urine and the bathtub was dirty (the shower head had grime and had clearly not been cleaned in a while).

Service
- in September 09
The front desk staff assisted in day trips, for us, one via speed boat to Phi Phi islands, and though perhaps a little more expensive then you could find - I can't fault the arrangements with the charter company - very special day - no problems.
