Nice spacious room in a lovely quiet location, however felt we weren't trusted when we were required to pay a 2000 baht deposit on check in. what do they think we're going to do to the room! Also no toiletries provided, not even soap, and only two bath towels, no hand towels or tea towels in the kitchen. And when we moved the toaster a load of big cockroaches came running out. Lovely setting, but the deposit thing has put us off
Thank you for your review.
I think thats normal that geusts need to pay a deposit when they check in a hotel.
That there was no Soap on the room we appoligize for your in inconvenience.
But you would be welcome to ask at the rception and you would get all your missing sings brouth to your room emmeditly after your complains.
Because we hold ourselves to a very precise cleaning plan, I think it is not possible that in the toaster are cockroaches.
Yours faithfully

Visited again in March and it is still a lovely well maintained resort. clean and tidy, great pool and low prices. In a quiet area between Rawai Beach and Ya Nui Beach.
It is very quiet and not for those looking for nightlife on your doorstep - though there are restaurants and bars in the area.
My wife and I spent 11 days here in December/January 2012. This is the most peaceful & relaxing place we've stayed at in our 10 trips to Phuket. Serene, quiet - arrive, sell your watch to a vendor, and ask Elton (mgr) for a wake-up call when you have to leave!! I hesitate to recommend this resort - the less people who know about it, the better for me! Elton & staff extremely accomodating and he does not seem to let riff-raff in but rather people with manners and who know how to conduct themselves. Close to beaches, good restaurants. My wife was so relaxed she was almost horizontal!

I stayed at this resort in March 2011 and was not very impressed and will not return. Better is available in better location and at better price.
Room was not particularly clean and looked like it could have been due for some renovation. Aircon was only in bedroom, but was quiet. Living room area got hot during day. Other places I have stayed at in area had aircon in both and cost less.
Hotel seems to cater mainly for Germans or German speakers, although this is not a negative point necessarily. Restaurant seemed to be catering mainly for Western taste although some Thai food was available. Prices for wine high, although nothing to stop you bringing your own wine if wanted.
Only cold water for shaving, whereas other similar accommodation in area also has hot water.
I stayed at this resort with my partner early 2011 and was rather disappointed. Accommodation was a bit 'tired'. Cold water only for shaving.
Other than myself and partner the resort was entirely occupied by German speaking people which seemed quite unusual. I suspect this is because of primarily advertising in German media.
On the single occasion we ate in the restaurant we found the Thai food very ordinary and not good value. Fine if you like schnitzel however!
We were very disappointed to be charged well over the going rate for a bottle of cheap wine, although this was our fault for not checking the price first.
We would not stay there again.
