7
Multiple reviews note cleanliness issues: worn towels, some rooms not clean on arrival and guests required room changes. Some guests also praised clean beachfront rooms, so mixed but leaning below target.
Service
9
Service is mixed: housekeeping described as very friendly and helpful, reception sometimes seemed annoyed and some extra‑charge practices frustrated guests. Overall staff helpfulness (especially pool/housekeeping) supports an above‑average score.
Location
10
Consistently praised: excellent beachfront location, great access to Koh Ma, stunning sunsets and quiet setting away from noise — clear standout strength.
Room Quality
7.5
Rooms are basic and some guests reported uncomfortable beds and very old pillows; others found rooms clean and well‑equipped. Overall room comfort is modest and inconsistent.
Amenities
9.2
Pool and grounds are repeatedly praised (large, pleasant pool, well‑maintained gardens). Some complaints about extra charges for equipment (snorkel, kayaks) and bathroom access by pool, but amenities themselves are strong.
Value for Money

Value is mixed: beautiful location and facilities justify price for many, but extra charges for basic items and occasional poor room condition reduce perceived value.

En résumé nous avons pu avoir une réduction grâce a booking mais autant dire que la valeur initiale ne vaut pas une pres
Pros:

L’emplacement était parfait et nous sommes revenus dans cet hôtel 9 ans plus tard car il nous avait bris oui plu

Cons:

En revanche 9 ans plus tard tout est devenu vétuste : literie déchiré, les savons pas remplis et avant c’était de beaux produits maintenant on voit que les bouteilles datent elles même d’il y a 10 ans et n’ont pas été changées.
Le personnel peut aimable mais pour le peu d’échange que nous avons eu cela convenait.
La piscine, qui n’existait pas à l’époque, était occupé par les résidents et non résidents avec des transats mais peu de nettoyage effectué après le passage des gens : état vraiment salle y compris la piscine plus troublé qu’autre chose.

Pros:

Large comfortable room and bed. Housekeeping staff cleaned the room each day for us and replaced towels and drinking water. The pool is large so you can have a proper swim and there are plenty of sun beds.
The location on the beach is beautiful.

Cons:

A number of the staff were rude, stroppy and service was poor. In the restaurant we were made to feel unwelcome, it took forever to order and often the wrong food was delivered or items from the order forgotten. The only exception was Yeye who worked in the evenings and wanted to chat and share a joke. The lady on reception was really rude, no welcome, just a demand for our taxi fare and key deposit.

Tolle Anlage, schönes, grosses Zimmer an schönem Strand!
Pros:

Grosses, sauberes Zimmer mit allem, was man braucht. Auch vom Hotel hat man einen schönen Ausblick Richtung Meer. Die Poolanlage ist sehr schön, der Pool gross mit tiefen Stellen und auch weniger tiefen Stellen für Kinder. Die Lage direkt am Strand ist top!

Perfect place to stay for peace and relaxation.
Pros:

This is an absolutely stunning resort, right on the beach with modern comfy rooms that are so comfy. I had a huge balcony and felt so relaxed here. The staff were great too.

A pleasant stay with a lovely pool and location, but the dated rooms and disappointing beach experience meant it didn’t
Pros:

The pool area was beautiful and well maintained. The beachfront restaurant was a lovely place to watch the sunset, and the resort is within walking distance of the zipline, which our kids loved. The rooms were clean, and the location is convenient if you have a car to explore the island.

Cons:

The rooms are quite dated, and our room door only opened halfway because it caught on the floor tiles. No smart tv. The restaurant food was average. The beach has coarse sand rather than soft sand, and we were disappointed that it wasn’t possible to snorkel from the beach during our four-night stay because the tide was too low throughout.

Buen hotel pero camas muy duras
Pros:

Esta zona de la isla es muy tranquila, quizá demasiado, pero cuenta con la mejor playa para hacer snorkel de toda la isla y eso en un must a tener en cuenta. El hotel es muy grande, por un lado una edificación en U con una hermosa piscina en medio, y luego otros dos edificios, y algún chalet, con otra piscina en medio. Lo que más me gustó fue el desayuno, aunque había muchos más camareros que clientes que hacían que fuera un poco incómodo el café. Está en un restaurante precioso, junto a la playa y es muy completo y muy rico. Como en todos los hoteles en Tailandia de esta categoría, tienes café y te gratis y dos botellas de agua, que renuevan cada día

Cons:

Las camas son súper duras, les pedí que si podían hacer algo, porque teníamos tres noches pagadas, y me pusieron unas bajeras que algo ayudaron, pero aún así seguían siendo unos camas muy duras. La habitación tiene el tamaño justito pero una buena terraza. La habitación es oscura porque tiene las palmeras muy pegadas y muy altas. No tienes la sensación de estar en la playa porque hay demasiado cemento.

Great beach access! Amazing sunsets!
Pros:

We stayed in a beachfront villa which is definitely the way to go. The location of these is literally beach front. We counted 9 steps onto sand & 40 to the water. They have staff sweep up leaves on the sand in front of the villas every day. Snorkelling was great! Sunsets are wonderful!

Cons:

Reception staff & some restaurant staff were indifferent. Not rude just not interested to be honest. In saying that some of the restaurant staff were lovely, engaging & helpful people. Not a lot of restaurants in the area but we managed to find a couple.
I think this resort could be great but the grounds need a big effort to keep everything well maintained & manicured.

Heerlijke kamer, prachtige locatie, personeel kan vriendelijker
Pros:

Heerlijke ruime mooie kamer. Mooi ingericht. Heerlijk groot bed, ook comfortabel en niet te hard. Prachtige locatie. Mooi strand met veel bomen voor wat schaduw. Prachtig snorkelen vanaf het strand. We hadden echter veel golven en niet altijd zon waardoor je niet veel zag.

Cons:

Personeel is niet zo vriendelijk als we gewend zijn in Thailand. Het resort mist sfeer

Un hotel recomendable, tranquilo y situado en plena playa
Pros:

Situado en una de las mejores playas de la isla, con acceso directo e inmediato a ella, el hotel está súper bien, con habitaciones muy amplias, terrazas hermosas y una cama grande y cómoda. Me encantó todo porque pese a estar en una de las habitaciones en edificio, se veía el mar. La piscina está genial, no así el restaurante. Repetiría.

Cons:

Que no tuviese desayuno. La recepción parece de un hotel cutre y no lo es en absoluto.

Pros:

Ce ressort s'intégre bien dans l'environnement très naturel de l'île
Le personnel est très sympathique
La cuisinière est à féliciter, j'ai trouvé ses plats très savoureux
J'ai pris une chambre de 40m2 la moins chère de toutes les propositions qui était juste pas hyper bien située dans le resort (normal si moins chère) mais très quali..
Piscine, bars restaurants... Bien

Cons:

Juste s il vous plaît : prévoyez au moins quelques fauteuils relax pour la plage... Pas forcément des sun bed top qualité mais un minimum d'équipements pour qu'on puisse rester près de l'hôtel et profiter de cette magnifique plage ! Tous les sun bed sont à la piscine.. on a traversé la moitié de la planète, on veut profiter du cadre.
Nous avons du coup été plus loin, au bar de plage d'un autre hôtelier qui proposait des chaises relax, c'était pas dingue mais on pouvait se poser confortablement. Et c'est eux qui ont profité de 500 bath par tête...pas votre hôtel, c'est dommage
On a bien vu qu'il y avait des chaises longues enchaînées à côté, elles appartiennent on l'a su à un privé, vous ne pourriez pas faire un petit deal avec lui ? Ou proposer quelques équipements même légers à la demande de vos guest ?
