Aangenaam verblijf met goede locatie en mooi uitzicht op de zee en kust
Pros:

Ligging en mooi uitzicht. Goed ontbijt en vriendelijk personeel en een lift die snel komt, want dat zie je niet vaak hier.

Cons:

Zwembad was gesloten met regen, dan kan je prima zwemmen lijkt mij en er is weinig ruimte om je koffer neer te zetten in de kamer. Ze gaan ervan uit dat je die uitpakt en in de kast doet, maar met 2 nachten verblijf doe je dat niet.

Pros:

2e keer verblijf deze vakantie en ook in de 2e kamer is de schoonmaak niet geweldig. Telefoons in de kamer werken niet. 1 klein wc rolletje per dag en 1 handdoek per persoon.
Personeel is prima en zeer behulpzaam

Goede locatie, niet overal schoon
Pros:

Prima locatie, ontbijt vooral Aziatisch. Je moet vragen om kaas, yoghurt en thee.
De vloerbedekking van onze kamer was heel vies en niet gezogen. Zwembad erg fijn, geen schaduw dus fijn voor een afkoelende plons, maar niet om te relaxen.

Cons:

Kamer niet goed schoon, 1 handdoek per persoon

Can't go wrong
Pros:

Never have I stayed at the hotel where night markets, durian shop, and the fish market were all within arms reach. Plus all the restaurants you need. Perfect spot. Very comfortable and a good brekkie as well.
