Cleanliness

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.

Really nice hotel and stuff and recommend staying here
Pros:

Nice resort tucked away at the of Chaweng’s beautiful beaches. Really big bedroom and balcony. Everything was super clean and very comfortable - even the sunbeds around the pool.

Cons:

It was further out of town than we thought. We love walking on the beaches so it suited us. There are many beautiful resorts on the beach to drop into for a refreshment. We used Grab whenever we wanted to go to town. Many others hired scooters.

Not worth it
Pros:

Didn’t really like anything, was below average on 95% of what anyone would expect from a 4-star hotel.

Cons:

The walls are so thin you can hear everything, couldn’t sleep because of the people above me. Not to mention the hotel did not tell me there was construction going on so good luck trying to rest during that time. Bed was so firm I woke up with back-aches in the middle of the night because of my herniated disc. The AC barely cooled the room when I had it on max. My balcony which I paid extra for was blocked by street wires so the view was almost non existent. No phones to the reception, when you go down PRAY you see an employee. For a 4-star hotel, getting a physical key for BOTH the room and the SAFE sounds insane to me. Also bed sheets were not clean when I arrived and the wall sockets were ALL bad, either just fall when I touch them or the switches are finicky and don’t work.

Great pool
Pros:

Pool area was great, staff were very friendly.

Cons:

There was just a hand held shower in the spa bath which was really odd. The air-conditioning took a while to cool down but the bed was comfy and the view was lovely.
