The hotel does not have a beach in front of it — the shoreline is all rocks, so you can’t really sit and chill by the beach. If you don’t book a sea view room or a room with a private pool, the main swimming pool is quite small compared to the number of rooms and guests. Breakfast options are limited — not a big issue, but it would help if staff kept things replenished more often. If you go down for breakfast late, there might not be much left. That said, the service from the staff is good, especially for Thai guests. Food and drink prices are reasonable, and the room rates are not too high — pretty fair overall. The rooms are a bit dated, but they come with a bathtub and even a jacuzzi, which is a nice bonus. WiFi is either not working or very slow, so using 5G is actually faster. All in all, it’s decent for the price you pay

We were lucky to get a beachside room with our own plunge pool. Beautiful except the tv CONSTANTLY had to be reset because connection lost. THEN the screen froze. With NO other entertainment, this was frustrating. The hotel is very clean, the room was lovely BUT a good hotel in a bad position. Yes, it's on the end of a Cove, but beach access is ridiculous. Choice 1 - walk down deep concrete steps onto slippery rocks being careful to not fall over onto the broken glass or choice 2- walk along the crazy busy main road onto rubbish filled wasteland. At night forget rock option as there is no light, or use the road in the dark to other bars; and walk through the wasteland and encounter some questionable people hanging around the derelict buildings along this part of the shore. So no choice of venues as a change of scene in the evenings. Pool is nice, but as two 70 year olds with knee issues, the VERY deep drop into the pool made access difficult. Food OK. wait staff lovely. The beach is good, could do with a cleanup, but there is NOTHING to do and NOTHING near enough without taking a taxi Disappointing, we don't expect wild night-life, but access to some form of more than just sitting around eating and drinking would be welcome. This is not Sarann's sole responsibility but the tourist industry's to encourage some form of entertainment and to clean up the area, particularly the rubbish and derelict buildings. .

Stayed for two weeks. Found the room to be great, Infiniti pool overlooking the beach was very nice. Nice selection of reasonably priced food on the menu with the local dishes being recommended. All staff were friendly and helpful. Particular thanks to Natt at reception for her help.

Be cautious when booking – consider your room’s location carefully Approximately one-third of the buildings are located directly next to a busy road that is used nearly 24 hours a day. Sleeping was nearly impossible due to the constant traffic noise. We stayed for four days (three nights) and asked daily if we could move to another room. Each time, we were told that no other rooms were available. There was no initiative from the hotel to offer a solution or show any flexibility. We had to keep asking, and in the end, we left exhausted. The hotel is also far from any tourist attractions, supermarkets, or the city center. You definitely need a car or an expensive taxi to get anywhere. The rooms themselves are new and well-maintained, and in our case (aside from the entirely avoidable noise issue), worth the 60 EUR/USD per night. The breakfast was good, and the small pool was always clean. So if you’re “lucky,” it can be a pleasant stay – unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for us.

We didn't even unpack. No sun on pool in private villa, unlile the photos we saw. Separate tv room full of gnats and smelt damp. Bedroom blinds didn't stay up so couldn't take photos. Main entrance to villa had a spy hole but no locking door, which kind of missed the security and privacy element. I asked for the manager and got told to stay for a day as it was her day off. No other rooms available so I went on booking.com and booked a new hotel. This was sold as paradise but was far from it. Dont be mistaken by the photos the hotel is old shabby. It's fine once they have ur money butdontget ripped off like us.
