“Nice bungalows - bad restaurang”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2011

We stayed for two weeks over new year, wich was a beatiful night in Thailand. Stayed in a bungalow with one big bed hard as a rock. Beatiful bungalows with simple furnitures. In the hotel restaurang everything was finished, even the whisky. And if they had what you ordered you had to wait for one hour before you got any food. And it was not very good, and the main course was the size of a starter. The staff was very friendly and helpful but everything took very long time. Very small pool, and the new poolchair that arrived was without any pillows so you could not lay in them without pain in your back. And on the beach there was not enough chairs for everybody. We had some nice lunches and dinners at the hotel near by on the beach. The owner claimed that the kitchenchef had left him the day before christmas and he just got a new one a few days before we left. Thank You! We would not recomend this hotel to anyone.

“Overrated but nice”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2011

Ocean Breeze is a ok place to stay but during christmas and new years eve overrated, we paid for the beach bungalow about 200 euro per night. Maybe the bungalow was worth it but the hotel wasn't. They couldn't handle the stress during this peak season. The owner told me it had to do with the bad weather which they normally weren't used to during this period.
Because of this they had to move the X-mas and NYE parties to the restaurant instead of what they normally do, at the beach.
The hotel is too small for a huge stage in the middle of the restaurant and because of this they had to move their whole logistics such as buffet, seats and beach beds. Kind of a mess. The beach was too narrow and so the beach beds too close to eachother to fit all in a too little space.
A pro of the Ocean Breeze is the staff, the food and the room was spacy and clean, I loved the outside bathroom having a shower with natural sounds of birds. Be aware you might have some "pets" in your bathroom because it is open.

I would not recommend this hotel in high season, but for low season I think it is a good place to stay. Close to the center and on walking distance of many restaurants.

“German service mentality throughout and management just doesn't care”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2010
5
people found this review helpful

I always thought it was a clichees about Germans getting up in the middle of the night to save the seats: well at the Ocean Breeze it is not and management has no intention what so ever to do anything about it, given the average age is about 55+ they feel these people are to old to be babysat by them. So be prepared to fight for your two square meters of deck chair at the beach and the umbrella's too as the Germans are very territorial and proprietary.

Otherwise pictures are not so good at reflecting reality. Furniture in the rooms is cheap and rickety and you can not even make yourself a cup of tea - standard in most Thai hotels. There is only 1 restaurant, while the website leads you to believe there are three, and getting a seat around 8am can be a challenge. If more than ten people order lunch be prepared to wait for well over an hour for parma ham and melon or spaghetti bolognaise. For dinner they set up the tables in the sand - very beautiful. Unfortunately fish is only bought every other day, so do ask how often it has been hauled out onto the ice for display before making your choice.

The attitude shown by management on the issue of beach beds is found throughout service: they do not really care. Housekeeping and restaurant staff is very very friendly, but does not seem to get much by way of instructions or assistance. Hence, sometimes towels are changed, sometimes not. Sometimes amenities are replaced, more often not. You will get everything if you ask for it though.
The beachfront is a total of 30 meters, so not a lot of space for the 80 or so guests they can accommodate. The ladies offering massages are very nice , but are independent service providers (presumably paying the hotel for the space through some arrangement or other), so you can go there without staying at the hotel. I brought my own towel though as every guest lies on and gets covered with the same towel. they do have new face towels for each guest though. Again, I suppose no one ever told them differently.

The most annoying: they will request a 3% fee if you want to pay by credit card, so it is cash only and all room fees must be paid up-front for the entire stay. At the end they tried to cheat us too. We did not need an extra bed for a couple of nights, though we had initially booked and paid for it. When we advised management that it would not be needed they agreed to refund us. Well, when we got the bill for all the extras, there was no reimbursement and the owners’ wife got very up-set when we noticed and pointed this out, de facto screaming at us, so German/ Austrian courtesy all the way.

It spoilt our holiday a bit for us, especially the end. And Thailand is so much nicer and friendlier than this, with typically excellent service. For the same price we have stayed in five star resorts, so if you are looking for a stress free vacation go look for an alternative!
