Good location just on the edge of Chaweng, perfect for walking into the town or going on the scooter to Lamai. The pool was great, and amazing fun in the rain. Only bad thing was the hot tub was out of order :( The reception staff were great, arranging our return taxi and speed boat to the full moon party... More

To walk to centrum maybe take 20 minutes. I stayed in room 415 and the room was very clean and the aircon works good but they have... More

Far enough from the noise but close close enough to walk to the main night life. Could get there for about 100baht for two People if you haggle with the taxi's a bit. They start at 200baht. Friendly staff. Underground parking. Distant sea view from our room. Nice pool. Is a slight smell in the bathroom but if the extractor... More

I am here now and I like it. As the title says, don't believe the professionally done advertisement, this is what advertisement is about, make it look better. It is the case, with pictures of this hotel. The pictures are very nice, nut when you get here you understand that it is not that shiny and gourgeous as shown. HOWEVER,... More

Hotel was relatively inexpensive, given I have paid twice the cost and stayed in the centre of the chaweng strip and had dirty rooms/washrooms. This place is clean and modern, nice shower head with bath tub. White modern clean room, dark wood, mini fridge, glass balcony, and swan towels. Friendly staff. Rooms are large. About 5 mins from the centre... More

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. It was not a bad hotel but it was not an overly good hotel, either. People say that the rooms were 'clean'...they are actually 'surface clean'. If you look carefully (behind toilets, under bed, for example), you will see that they are not all that clean. Appreciated the free internet. The keyboards... More
