Pros:

We had a very nice stay overall. The hotel is very good and the location is excellent.
The beach is within easy walking distance and is absolutely beautiful. The nearby local Kata market is also within walking distance and has pretty much everything you need in the evening – lots of food, shopping and some entertainment. Really a great location for a family.
Breakfast was fresh and varied enough, and we enjoyed it.
There were some minor renovation works during our stay, but there were enough alternative facilities available, so they didn't really affect our experience.

Cons:

Despite contacting the hotel several times before arrival and requesting adjacent rooms for our family, unfortunately our two rooms were not next to each other.
More seriously, during our stay we discovered that cash was missing from our luggage. We cannot prove what happened or who was responsible, so we don't want to make any accusations. We reported it to reception, but felt that the response was quite indifferent and we were simply directed to the police.
Since we couldn't prove what happened, we eventually had to accept the loss and move on, but it obviously left us with a very unpleasant feeling.

Pros:

The hotel facilities, including the swimming pool and gym, were good. Considering the price I paid, I believe the hotel offered excellent value for money. The room was spacious, and the housekeeping team did a great job. The staff were also friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist.

Cons:

The breakfast had very limited variety. While there were a few changes each day—such as noodles and pancakes on one day, and rice and French toast on another—the rest of the breakfast items remained the same throughout my stay.

The shuttle bus service also needs more departure times. Currently, it only operates at 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. During check-in, I was informed that if I wanted a ride to the beach, I only needed to call 20 minutes before departure, and the return shuttle would leave the beach at either 11:00 AM or 3:00 PM.

However, on my last day, when I requested transportation, I was told that the shuttle only departs from the hotel at 11:00 AM or 3:00 PM, not from the beach as I had originally been informed.

When I tried to discuss this with Polyly, she interrupted me and ignored my concerns before I had even finished explaining the situation. This was disappointing and left me feeling that my concerns were not taken seriously.

All in all, the hotel only pretends to be 5* but is 3* in reality.
Pros:

The suite we rented had a separate bedroom.

Cons:

The hotel should be 5* quality but in real life it’s an average 3* quality hotel. Everything there only looks good in pictures, but in real life the quality is just average, starting with the couch in the living room and ending with the hard ones in the lobby. There is a distinctive smell of mound from the air conditioning. During the rain we literally had water on the floor leaking through the windows. There is no signature smell in the hotel, so the smell of humidity is omnipresent. The small pools are squeezed between walls and you can hear noises from the building site all the time while at the pool. No music. There are many rooms overlooking the building site as well. Luckily I asked for a room away and got one so at least in the room we were free from the noises. The staff were polite but not engaged. The breakfast choice is very poor and the quality is just average compared to other hotels from booking we visited.
