“Feb 2012 - very poor!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

Booked into one of the Chalets - had to move after one night. The room was dirty, practically falling to pieces with daylight coming through holes in the bathroom roof, mouldy, terribly furnished (no cupboards, we had to keep everything in the suitcases).
It was full of mosquitos as it was impossible to block up the holes.
The shower was dirty and cold.
We would have changed hotels but our travelling partners wished to stay. Moved to one of their hotel rooms which was marginally better. Asked for extra pillows, got them only 3 days later after a further 3 requests.
The pool was lovely, unfortunately couldnt stay there as only limited loungers which were claimed by the use of towels from early morning.
Breakfast was OK, but not great.
Excellent access to the beach, the position of the hotel is excellent for shops and restaurants etc.
Good parking facilities.
Pleasant staff but not efficient.
A real shame that this hotel which has such great potential with regard to its position is so let down by its lack of staff training and its very poor and tired rooms.

Room Tip: Another hotel!

“Best value for money in Lamai?”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We were 2 families who stayed there for 11 nights. The plan was not 11 nights though, but due to full moon party on Ko Pah Ngan there was a change in travel plans. We stayed in the main building on the top floor. We thought that was the best choice when considering privacy and bugs. The space between the building must be the best on whole Lamai beach. The path from the reception down to the beach is surrounded by building on each side. It must be 50-60 meters wide, planted by palm trees. The pool area is really nice and the restaurant is placed just on the beach. (Elevated from the beach though). The rooms are normal sized with an OK bathroom. There is a shower curtain, which is always disgusting, except when it is brand new. The breakfast is adequate, with fresh fruits, eggs in different styles made on your request, cereals and hot Thai food. The staff at breakfast seems to be a little slow. (but nice). The receptionists was very helpful and having late check out was not any problem.
Of course I will recommend this hotel based on the price, location and space between buildings.

We enjoyed the sea view and the pool daily. Breakfast was fantastic. Staff polite and wonderful with our children. Quite and relaxed area in Lamai which you can enjoy with your family. Convieniently located next door to a great and quality massage place(number one massage).

Again great place for a family.

“great value, perfect location, friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2009

great location. great pool- straight onto beach. umbrellas arent very good- keep blowing over and could damage guests- needs to be addresses. we stayed there for 10 days and then another 6 nights after another trip to Tao. staff were friendly, except for one of the receptionists/cashiers who tried to charge us for minibar drinks that we didnt drink and got a bit cross that we wouldnt pay!! breakfasts were included and decent- nice fruit selection, eggs to order and other thai options- perfectly adequate and served outside on terrace on inside- good value for the low price.. we paid 1300baht for a double bungalow- was a bit old, but was cute- and had air con and nice and clean! free wifi would have made it perfect!! its easy to walk to good restaurants or the night market for supper- so not forced to eat always at the resort..
would recommend it if you want good value for money and a good location though still quiet section of beach..
