Lovely hotel in a great location at the end of Karon Beach and the start of Kata Beach where you'll find a variety of shop, restaurants and bars. The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for us. Our hotel room was very clean with a comfortable bed and pillows. Decorated in traditional Thai style but could do with a bit of an upgrade. Only gripe was the towels which were so very thin. Breakfast was lovely with a good variety to meet all of our tastes. Lunch options were good too and very reasonable priced. Only negative comment was the pool sunbeds which were very uncomfortable with very thin plastic cushions.

冷房が20度以下に設定すると壊れると表記があったので20度に設定。 全然涼しくなりません。 暑い外から戻ってきた時や寝る時はキツかったです。 暑がりやさんはキビシイかも。 シャワーの水圧も弱く時間かかります。 シャワージェルとシャンプーは有りました。 灰皿は無いですがバルコニーでたばこ吸えます。 海が見えるのが良かったです。 朝のバイキングも普通。 5Fだったので、エレベーターで4Fに行ってから長い廊下を歩き階段を登っていく感じ。ちょっとコンビニ行きたい時や出かける時なんかは面倒くさいかも。 セブンイレブンは500m歩きます。 一番近いのはセブンイレブンでは無いですが少し歩けば有ります。 日本語が出来るスタッフがひとりも居なかったので英語は勉強しておきましょう。

Good location for the beach and the town. The hotel itself was a bit dated and smelt a bit musty (especially the spa - although my husband said his massage was excellent). We didn't really use the restaurant or bars - the pool bar closed early evening and the restaurant had no atmosphere whatsoever. Breakfast was ok. Next time I will pay the extra for a resort which has more facilities and a beach view from the pool.

When we arrived at the hotel after a long day of travel, they told us our room had been cancelled by Expedia and we needed to pay them again directly. When I called Expedia this was not the case. We felt a though they were trying to scam us so we booked another room. Now, Expedia has been trying to contact them to figure out what was happening and they have no been returning any calls or emails.

fint hotel med skøn beliggenhed

Fint hotel med god beliggenhed og pæn standard i forhold til pris. Hvis man kan klare en del trapper (ingen elevator) så får du her et godt hotel til billige penge med rigtig god beliggenhed i forhold til skøn strand og rigtig hyggelig by med gode spisnings- og shoppingmuligheder. Det største minus var at sengene ikke var gode når man sov to i samme seng. Hvis den ene vendte sig, så vækkede man samtidig den anden da sengene var skrøbelige. Vi havde værelser med skøn havudsigt og var rigtigt glade for opholdet.
