Hotel in great location. Beach 2 min walk lovely beach walking distance to bars & restaurant. We had a deluxe sea view room. It made the holiday. To get to the room 3 lift but worth it for view. The room needs a bit of TLC. The bed was lovely and comfortable. We had a very big balcony. It’s a shame it doesn’t get cleaned everyday and ash tray empty. Pool towels don’t get change every day. We stayed 5 nights and had same towel. We asked the maid for clean one and she never brought them. Adult pool is lovely with a swim up bar. Bank was lovely and friendly always a happy smile. Breakfast- it gets very busy people looking for tables. It’s a buffet and it was OK. Would I stay again. Not sure.

Well run hotel within three minutes walk of the beach at Kata. I met the hotel manager and swapped notes, having managed hospitality. There are well over 100 staff. Highly professional set up and well motivated and polite staff. Lots of steps however this affords great views from all rooms as the hotel is built into a steep hillside. Lots of amenities nearby. Breakfast can be crowded but the fare is reasonable. I had a poolside deluxe room and it was lovely, with a bath. Be prepared for music during the daytime.

Amazing resort. Staff are excellent. Food is a definite plus too. It’s a beachfront property with supervision around the allocation of sun lounger s and towels etc by the friendly lifeguard 🙂 There is a shuttle bus to and from Hoi An with a morning and afternoon service so you’ll need taxis for Hoi An trips ( a “must do”) outside of that. Laundry can be expensive at hotel prices so maybe use the locals for that but it’s up to you😉 All round, it’s a superb place and you can really enjoy a relaxing time while you’re there.

We loved this hotel. The location is excellent: everything is close by and the sea is just a few steps away. The staff are friendly and responsive — they quickly helped with any request. The food was great: we had breakfast and dinner, enjoyed both, with a good selection and tasty dishes. Special shout‑out to the bar — the cocktails were fantastic. Our room was well-kept and cozy; housekeeping was meticulous and daily, and we were often treated to cute towel animals. We booked a sea-view room — the view was breathtaking. The property has great facilities, and everything is set up for a comfortable stay. We highly recommend it and would happily return.

The location of the hotel is very good, close to the beach, shops, pharmacies, many restaurants around. This resort has both pluses and minuses: I would start with the minuses such as: the room furniture is outdated, the air conditioning worked but there was a sewer smell when it was on so we had to not use it during the entire stay, the daily cleaning was unfortunately very poor (the bathroom towels were not changed for 3 days, then I reported to the reception and the problem was solved), the bathtub curtain had mold on it and for a week it was not cleaned by anyone. From my point of view, someone should control how they clean the rooms.Pluses of this resort would be: very friendly staff, ideal for families with children, clean pools with mini bars, very varied and tasty breakfast, beautiful view, very good reception, shops, pharmacies, restaurants and the beach close to the resort, a very relaxing atmosphere, large and comfortable bed.Try not to come with expectations like you find in hotels in Europe because in Thailand the 4 stars in Europe are 3, subtract one star from what you are used to. Surely in no other resort will you find everything perfect, probably only in the very expensive ones. Overall it was an ok stay.
