I was initially worried after having pre-booked the rooms and then saw the reviews on Tripadvisor. However, we had no trouble getting to the hotel and only once was there a little bit of difficulty with transport. The hotel doesn't claim to be on the beach, so that wasn't a worry for us either. The beach is 15 minutes away and the hotel has both a free shuttle service and private cars with driver for hire. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations and so the construction of the new wing was annoyingly noisy early on Sunday morning. The swimming pool is nice and there is a basic pool bar. The hotel restaurant on the rooftop is rather pricey for what is on offer. It is furnished in a contemporary style but has odd music playing. The staff are helpful and friendly. The breakfast is fairly standard for the region. With the deal it was good value but the bathrooms are well worn and could do with a make over. The bedrooms otherwise are fine and clean. Its location makes the beaches around Patong 15-20 minute drive.
