“Great place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

On arrival we were quite disappointed, but during our 16 days here the place really grew on us! We stayed here with our, then 2½ year old son. We all just loved the pool, with an area in the shade, and ate quite a few meals in their restaurant. We stayed in a double room, which is not as charming as a bungalow but just fine for our family. We liked the so what secluded location at the beach and spent several afternoons just walking further south to other restaurants and then back again in the dark. We would not hesitate to recommend this place to our friends and if we ever return to Ko Lanta, we will return.

We stayed here in March 2010 and travelled as a family with a smal child.

“Very nice Hotel right on the beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

Very nice Hotel right on the beach, big room with airco and very clean. We hired a motor bike to get round but its not so far from the nearest town. We were diving in the area so it was a great base.

“Great chalets, good swimming pool and beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

We have booked a superior room for 2 nights from 20th Jan 2012. But due to change in programme we had to reach there on 19th itself. I could book online only a standard room. I could not get a superior room at the hotel for the first night also inplace of std room. The staff simply said there are no rooms. We had to shift to different room next day. Each room is an independent chalet. It has got a great swimming pool right on the beach.

The chalet has a varenda with a table and chairs but we could not sit there because of lot of mosquitos. The hotel needs to do something seriously about it.

“appearances are deceptive”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

This so-called beach resort looks beautiful in pictures, but turned out to be very disappointing. We were 2 adults, 1 3-year old and 1 baby in what is called a modern bungalow (be assured, there was nothing modern about it). The baby crib we had asked for was not satisfying, the beds were very hard, the bath room was big, but included hardly anything to hang or put our things. There were snakes just outside our room twice (!), and lots and lots of mosquitos 24/7.
The pool was dirty and dangerous. There were a few steps between children´s and adult´s area, but as this was not clearly marked, our son did not notice the two different levels, and thus fell under water. Luckily we were close, but this could have been fatal. There was also many sharp edges in the pool, I cut my finger. The "jacuzzi" is actually 2 "benches " with 4 fossets.
The breakfast buffet is the worst I´ve experienced. Very little to choose from, the pots with tea and coffee look like they havent´t been changed since the place opened, and the tables were not cleaned properly.
Most of the staff seemed very unprofessional- slobbing around in sweat pants, texting and eating- not comprehending the simplest questions.
Also the closest beach is constantly under low tide and packed with litter.
We had a 12 day reservation, but cancelled the rest of our stay there after just 4 days.

“Beautiful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

person found this review helpful

This hotel was very nice with large chalet accommodation, most with sea views. The swimming pool was large and overlooked the beach and the hotel itself was on the beachfront, right at the end of the bay. The restaurant was well priced with good food and drink. The only issue is that there are few sunbeds so you have to get up early to grab one. It is in a quiet location, away from Saladan town but it is walkable in about 20 mins. There are also other bars and restaurants along the huge beach but the overall feel of the resort is quiet and mellow. You can arrange trips, vehicle hire and transfers at the hotel.
