“Terrible place to stay”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

It was our honeymoon and we were gutted when we arrived. It was dirty, smelt of raw sewage and our first (and only) meal took an hour to arrive.I had to borrow a brush from reception to sweep the floor in our room because of the amount of dead flieswhen we got the key. The staff were on the whole slow and surly, indeed we saw a waiter break a bottle of beer by the pool and wander off having not picked up all the pieces, even though children were playing and swimming.

Although the manager was helpful and did let us leave after 2 nights of our 10 day stay. Although we didn't get a total refund.

We booked from the uk via sta travel who were not honest with us about the state of the hotel, don't use them if you can avoid it would be my advice, not the service and integrity you expect from a supposedly trustworthy high street travel agent.

In short it was awful, don't go there.

Room Tip: Don't go

“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The photos of this resort are completely misleading and could only be described as false advertising. The place is in a state of serious disrepair. The gym was flooded when we were there and there was one machine. The restaurant is like an open barn, full of rust, and really old and delapidated. There was continous construction work in reception which made it hard to even go near. You had to pay for internet which I found quite annoying.
having said that, the room was nice and spacious and really nicely decorated. However, the cleaning job of the room was very slap dash. Dust on absolutely everything and floor was gritty.
Pool area was lovely and really nice view of the beach. The beach however ( part of the resort) was a serious disappointment. It was the most filthy beach I have ever come across. They clearly take no pride whatsoever in its appearance.
Finally, the staff were horrible; rude, unhelpful and not approachable.

“Pleasant and peaceful”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2011

The hotel was clean and well kept. Good meal in the restaurant. Very short beach and couldn't go for long walks along the beach although speedboats do collect you from the beach right in front of the hotel for day trips. Stunning swimming pool with pool chairs looking directly on to the beach. Helpful and friendly staff. Happy hour given by the bar!

“Don't Bother”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Staff was for the most part rude. Pool was clean and enjoyable, the restaurant was not. There was no pride for their beachfront and don't bother to clean it. I don't know if the staff is poorly treated, but something was awkward and out of place, and it showed. The best part of our stay was Aunty Mae's Deli up the driveway, AWESOME food and staff!

“Clean and tidy. Right by a lovely beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2011

We enjoyed our stay here. The beach was lovely and the swimming pool was clean. The buffet breakfast had a good variety and plenty of seating.
The rooms were spacious and cleaned everyday. They put water in our room each day which was free but the Singha water was not free. The only downfall was that we could not adjust the aircon. You either turn it on or off.
I found the restaurant was slightly expensive compared to other places.
The hotel was situated quite a way from the main town.You need to hire a moped or get a taxi to go into town where there are lots of stalls and restaurants.
