Well, I have to say having read some reviews beforehand and having booked this holiday over the internet I was slightly concerned as to what the hotel would be like.
We stayed here for 2 weeks and were amazed at the high standard of the place. It was perfectly situated for us, walking distance to the main nightlife Veronicas strip etc, beach and bars/restaurants. Perfect location for the bus station, close behind and main attractions such as Siam Park. Yet the hotel was in a quiet area and although some reviews say there was hotel noise we rarely heard any and spent some evenings in.
The hotel itself was spotness, we never saw any mess anywhere and the room cleaning was spotless too. We were half board and the breakfast and dinner style buffets were fine, the choice available very good every night. Drinks at the bar were reasonable. We were amazed at how quiet this place was and especially the swimming pool. The majority of guests appeared to sleep in the day and so we never had a problem getting sunloungers by the pool.
All hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the few questions we did have were answered immediately. We needed our safe fixed one evening and the technicians arrived promptly and fixed it immediately. We couldn't have asked for better service.
We were hoping to meet some other young British travellers, however hardly any British people stayed here so wouldn't suit those wanting to meet people at the hotel. Having said that we did talk to other Nationalities in broken English conversations and we also met people out. So this wasn't a problem.
It as my Birthday during this stay and they really went the extra bit by making me feel special. They even put a cake together for my Birthday dinner.
We were aware when booking this there would be no hotel entertainment and for the price we paid we certainly can't complain. However I think I would like a hotel with some evening entertainment next time. Having said that I wouldn't hesistate to go back to this hotel based on the facilities, staff, cleanliness and overall high standard.
Plus we saw one cockroach and that was by the pool in the whole 2 weeks!!
