1
Generally positive: multiple mentions of very friendly, helpful staff, attentive service and flexible check-out arrangements that made guests feel at home.

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

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.

Belle camere pulite, ma spiagge per nuotare lontane
Pros:

La struttura è bella. Forse mi aspettavo qualcosa in più, ma va bene, le stanze erano grandi, pulite e comode, sicuramente il punto forte. Ci si può spostare facilmente con mezzi (taxi, ecc..) anche se arrivando da Bangkok risulteranno costosi (almeno il doppio). Non è nel centro ma neanche isolata

Cons:

Dalle foto sembra il contrario ma non c'è una spiaggia fruibile di fronte. Bisogna prendere un mezzo per andare in spiaggia e questo è stato molto deludente. La piscina è bella, in una bella posizione, ma andrebbe sistemata, è fatta di mattonelle, alcune scheggiate ed è possibile farsi male. La colazione (noi avevamo scelto inclusa) non sarebbe malissimo, quasi accettabile, ma sempre uguale, non c'è scelta. Giusto le uova se le vuoi fritte, sode o sbattute.. dovessi tornare non sceglierei di nuovo l'opzione della colazione inclusa.

Pros:

Super lokalizacja hotelu z dala od hałasu a nadal wystarczająco blisko do miasteczka tetniacego życiem, dobry wybór restauracji lokalnie, przepiękną plaża podczas odpływu

Cons:

Widok z okna zaplecza hotelowego z naszego pokoju który by ostatni pozostawia dużo do życzenia.

Beautiful hotel and location
Pros:

The room was spacious and well appointed. The beach front location was fabulous, the bay is very shallow and warm so you can relax, the pool area at the hotel means you can enjoy the view in comfort. The staff were all very helpful and pleasant.

Cons:

The shower by the pool was difficult to use as it was near people’s sun beds and a foot wash facility when coming off the beach would have been good to have.

Сделать более разнообразный завтрак.
Pros:

Отель расположен в Чавенге в 20 минутах пешком от всех тусовок и шума. Очень дружелюбный и отзывчивый персонал! Так же не плохой номер с видом на море. Мы даже продлили свое проживание на 2 недели. Спасибо за чудесный отдых.

Cons:

Отель расположен в бухте, а мы попали на сезон отливов. Нет пляжа ! Но это не только у данного отеля(

Great place to stay, close to Chawang but peaceful and quiet.
Pros:

The best food at the resort is the Thai food. The staff were very friendly and very helpful, especially Mun who was always at the pool.

Cons:

The location was lovely and the view beautiful, however the tide was often a long way out so if you like to paddleboard or swim, early morning was best.
