Geräumiges Zimmer mit Guter Lage.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war für uns sehr ausreichend und die Zimmer sehr groß. Die Lage, nur 350m zum sehr schönen Strand war gut.

Cons:

Die Fahrräder könnten mal erneuert werden und die Liegen am Strand sind von den Langzeitgästen bereits ab 7:00 Uhr reserviert.

We focused on the simplicity and kind personnel
Pros:

The superkind personnel working at this hotel. Some more talkative than others.

Breakfast was good! And they have free shuttle to closest minimart and to the beach. They use WhatsApp to communicate and it worked very well for us.

You can also walk if you want! Is not far, but very convenient when it's hot outside.

Free water and bottle refills whenever needed.

The beach is very nice.

Cons:

The villas are a bit run down unfortunately... And the beds are horrible if you're not used to the hard Thaibeds...

The bathrooms are not nice. So if you are picky with shower and toilet be prepared.

Also... A lot of ants in the bathroom and kitchenette.

Some noise from the Marriott hotel in the evenings...

Pros:

Ich musste leider zwei mal den Bungalow wechseln (davon eine Nacht im Thai Life) mit Blick auf den See. Wirklich sehr schön! Wüde das nächste Mal dort buchen. Engfa (Stuff) hat mir meinen Aufenthalt sehr angenehm gemacht. Danke dafür. Frühstück war inklusive und eine grosse Auswahl. Café Latte sehr lecker. Roller kann man an der Rezeption buchen.

Cons:

Autos und Roller die durch die Anlage zum Strand oder zum Marriot Hotel gefahren sind. Aber ab 23-24 Uhr ist es ruhig.

Pros:

Der sehr gute Service und das sehr freundlich ,zuvorkommende Personal.Das sehr gute Frühstück im Thailife Restaurant . Der Bungalow war geräumig Küche und Bad separat.Fahrräder wurden bei Bedarf kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt.

Cons:

Die Lage direkt an der Zufahrtstraße zu einem sehr großen Hotel direkt am Strand.
Tag und Nacht Durchgangsverkehr Mopeds ,Autos, Busse, Lkws hat uns sehr gestört, was die eigentlich sehr schöne Lage des Resorts zerstört.Sehr schade. Vor dem Bau des Hotelbunkers am Strand befand sich das Resort in einer traumhaften Gegend

A perfect place to relax
Pros:

It's a really nice and quiet place far from the busy places. The breakfast was perfect every day (at thailife's restaurant). They offer bicycles to travel across the area, but they also have a shuttle service to go to the beach bar for free.

Cons:

It was raining almost all the time.

Traumhafter Ort mit tollen Räumlichkeiten und guter Verpflegung.
Pros:

Wir hatten einen Bungalow mit Pool. Da wir im Oktober zur Regenzeit angereist sind war es perfekt da wir nicht immer ins Meer konnten (hoher Wellengang )
Das Personal ist super lieb !
Der Strand nicht überlaufen.

Pros:

พนักงานต้อนรับ พนักงานบริการอาหารเช้า พนักงานทำความสะอาด บางคนคะ น่ารักมากๆๆ อัธยาศัยดี ยิ้มแย้มแจ่มใส ชอบคะ จะไปอีกแน่นอนคะ

Cons:

พนักงานทำความสะอาดบางคนมีพฤติกรรมไม่เหมาะสมที่ทำกับแม่สามีชาวต่างชาติ อยากบอกว่ารู้สึกเสียความรู้สึกและอายมากเพราะอยู่เมืองนอกมานาน พอพาแม่สามีมาเที่ยวไทยครั้งแรกเจอพนักงานทำความสะอาดทำแบบนี้รู้สึกแย่คะ
เราเป็นคนไทยแล้วเจอชาวต่างชาติพูดให้ฟังแบบนี้ยอมรับว่าอายมากคะ แต่มีน้องพนักงานอีกคนน่ารักมาก สามีเอ่ยปากชมว่าทำความสะอาดดีมาก ขอชื่นชมน้องนะคะ
