The Waterfront is a lovely place, and I can understand that it attracts many positive reviews. However, I think it is important to note that it is ideal for a certain type of holidaymaker, and may not suit everyone. I'm not sure, overall, that it's TA rating reflects that. If you are a returner to Thailand, looking for somewhere that... More

We had a lovely relaxing two week stay over Christmas and the New Year at the Waterfront. It was our family’s seventh time to stay at the Waterfront and Robin and Sue and their son and daughter, Michael and Charlotte, and all their lovely staff made us feel so welcomed that it felt like we were coming home. We again... More

Every employee and every aspect of The Waterfront is perfect. I was alone and in the area for my niece's wedding and felt right at home and with family at this great hotel.ZW More

One of the most friendliest, most welcoming, most hospitable, generous and caring hotels I've ever had the pleasure of staying in. From beach front rooms, to 24 hour service. I have never experienced a hotel environment where the staff actually go out of their way to accomodate and help you in anyway. The friendly nature of the staff welcomes you... More

We stayed again at this jewel in the east over christmas and the new year. We returned at xmas as we had stayed in August the previous year. We had not been away at xmas before and this was a treat for our 25th wedding anniversay. It felt like we were going to spend time with friends rather than in... More

Went here for new years 2011 with six other friends. The location is away from the hustle and bustle of Chewang but still close enough to get there in fifteen minutes. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. The owners were just as helpful and make it a relaxing experience from the moment you enter when they offer you a... More

I took my wife for Chinese New Year and from airport pick up through to drop off I could not fault the place, the people and most importantly the staff. We had the last room on the right of the hotel as you face the sea, ten metres to the beach, ten metres to breakfast and ten metres to the... More

The Waterfront is the best place we've stayed in. We came to Thailand Dec 2011 on Honeymoon and after a long flight; we were picked up from the airport by Michael (son of Robin and Sue, the owners). We were then welcomed by Robin with welcome drinks before being shown to our room. The room was excellent. Nice size, spotlessly... More

The Waterfront is a great, low-key hotel in Bo Phut. It's right at the far eastern end of the beach and only a short walk from most of the shops and restaurants. The place is clean, well-run and with friendly owner and helpful staff. It feels cosy and relaxed. Bo Phut beach faces north so it's not totally ideal for... More

The Waterfront is a very nice little place in Bophut which I definately will consider going back to. We were only there for one night since we were in transit from Koh Pagnan to Krabi. Our baby boy got very ill during the night and the night portier arranged a car for us that took us to the hospital in... More
