I don’t know how to start telling all the bad experience we have had with this hotel. We had an early check in and the manager told us the towels were not ready (all fine, we were grateful to have the room 1h in advance). The problems started at 19h when we still didn’t have towels to have a shower and not even a bad for my daughter. After many calls, they brought a step bad, really hard but ok. My daughter went to sleep and we realize the mattres were completely wet because of the rain early that day. After 1h they came with lots of blankets because they didn’t have a dry mattress and the hotel was fully booked! There was no bin in the room, the room service was too slow and the food took long time to arrive. We never had clean towels without calling the reception. In four days we didn’t have our room properly clean. The same with the jacuzzi. Water slide under renovation without announcement when booking. I saw a rat in the Italian restaurant. It seems the food arrive after 13h because everyday my daughter asked for a burger before this time, they didn’t have it. The spa is overpriced The beach is not clear and blue water and if you walk a bit you will find a lot of trash. A shame. They charged us Laundry service that was not ours. It’s an hotel with great potential but really bad administered. The positive points: breakfast food and drinks, good menu variety at the restaurants and the free boat to the island in front of hotel Read less

I have toyed between 3 or 4 stars… we had a great time here and the hotel is lovely in an amazing spot with fabulous staff. However we did have some issues, our original pool villa room was pretty grim, curtains hanging off rails, faulty air conditioning, ripped sofas etc but when we complained Bell the guest services manager moved us to an updated villa which was lovely. We also experienced other issues we had to chase up such as missing towels and water, rubbish not being emptied outside our villa, meals not turning up in the restaurant etc etc staff always sorted any problems out but for 5 star you shouldn’t need to report such minor problems. I would also have liked to have seen the beach cleaned and combed as it’s a bit grubby and the hotel gym was pretty old and tired with rusty equipment and was very small. My other complaint was regarding the beach bag that was in our villa, there was no note/sign on it to say that you had to leave it behind so I took it as my hand luggage on the last day - we were then charged 1500thb which felt pretty steep! The hotel was going through renovations whilst we were there but this didn’t bother us but it would have been nice to have had the slides working and not had reception in a temporary restaurant setting. The beach bar was a favourite with its music and adults only pool (although we noticed a few younger kids sneaking in which was annoying) it had a great vibe to it. We had great service from a number of staff, Mac, Kyle, Aleen, Minny and Lester all couldn’t do enough for us. The Thai massage along the beach was amazing and a fraction of the cost of a massage in the hotel. Overall we had a great time here during our stay and as I say staff were responsive but it was a shame minor problems weren’t picked up. Read less
