Mixed but leaning negative: several guests report laundry coming back with colors faded/ruined and issues like occasional lack of toilet paper, though rooms were noted as being cleaned daily by some reviewers.
Service
1
Generally positive: multiple mentions of very friendly, helpful staff, attentive service and flexible check-out arrangements that made guests feel at home.
Location
1
Mixed: quiet location with easy access to Chaweng (around 20 min walk) and sea views, but not directly on the beach for many rooms and sometimes separated from the beach by a road.
Room Quality
1
Negative aspects highlighted: building and rooms described as aging, noisy air-conditioning units located near room doors, occasional leaking bungalow roofs; positives include spacious rooms and large terraces for some accommodations.
Amenities
1
Mixed-to-negative: pool by the sea is praised, but hotel lacks direct beach access for many rooms, offers little in the way of activities/entertainment, and practical issues (single sunbed on terraces, occasional supplies shortage) were reported.
Value for Money
1
Mixed: some guests felt disappointed (mentions of expectations not met and misleading listing details), while others found the offering acceptable given location and service — overall slight negative tilt.
Food and Beverage
1
Generally positive: breakfasts receive strong praise (described as excellent/varied by several guests), though one review suggested slightly more variety could be welcome.
Overall Experience
1
Mixed overall: experiences range from 'worst trip' to guests who would return — strong positives are staff, breakfast and pool/sea setting, counterbalanced by issues with room quality, laundry and misaligned expectations.

Ok value, but lots of nicer looking resorts nearby
Pros:

Nicely tucked away from the chaos. Nice pool (although some broken tiles as reported by other reviews) and lovely pool staff. Use of paddle boards and balls went down well with kids.

Cons:

Months ahead of arrival I had asked for the 2 rooms to be close to each other, however informed the day before arrival that it wasn't possible. Had I had that feedback in advance I would have looked elsewhere. The resort was a bit tired in places and lift a bit smelly. Set breakfast wasn't great although it became a challenge to get what we wanted and coffee was awful!

Pros:

המיטות נוחות מאוד . החדרים די מרווחים. יש מעלית . מספקים כל יום מים ומברשות שיניים. יש שירותי כביסה במחיר סביר

Cons:

המלון מעט מיושן. רחוק מבית חבד וממרכז הצוונג. 7 דקות בקטנוע. אין וילון באמבטיה והמים מתפזרים על הרצפה

Pros:

Personnel sympathique. Relativement proche du centre de Chaweng

Cons:

La musique des clubs comme l Ark bar , pourtant éloignés de l’autre côté de la baie arrive jusqu’à l’hôtel . Donc boules quies obligatoires jusque 3-4h du matin. Sinon ce sont les basses de la musique en permanence voir même carrément la musique complète forte et claire

Flott plass, rommet var for dårlig luft for oss.
Pros:

Fint bassengområdet , restaurant

Cons:

Min kone har allergi/astma så det var dårlig luft på rommet. Aircondition laget veldig mye lyd. Utenfor vårt rom stod det flere utedeler til aircondition, de laget veldig høy lyd!! Rom 206

A convenient spot for the airport and great spot for lounging at the pool.
Pros:

Pool was great, plenty of loungers, and our room was nice with decorations and layout. Having access to a balcony was great. Was a convenient spot to the airport. Staff were very friendly.

Cons:

It is a fair way from the main area of chaweng and it’s a 10 minute walk to the nearest 7-eleven. We spent quite a lot on Grab to get around. The bed was very very hard, not too comfortable. The shower was situated at quite an odd angle so had to be hand held otherwise it sprayed all over the bathroom. The food at the restaurant was average but relatively expensive considering quality.
