Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the location, right in front of the sea, felt safe and private. While there were some minor issues with the shower flooding, it didn't affect my overall enjoyment. The service was friendly, though a bit slow at times.
The hotel offers a super nice stay with amazing views and a romantic ambiance directly opening onto the beach. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-equipped, though situated in a 3-storey building without a lift, which can be a slight inconvenience. The service is lovely and friendly, with staff going the extra mile to provide a personalized touch, even cooking our catch of the day in delicious Thai dishes by the beach. The location is great, nestled in the lively north of Chaweng Beach, offering easy access to both the town and the beach. The dining experience is fabulous, especially with its proximity to the beach, creating a delightful atmosphere for meals.

The dining experience was enjoyable, with a varied selection, although some improvements could be made. Overall, a great location directly on the beach with easy access to the airport.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel which is positioned beautifully in front of the sea, offering a quiet and safe environment.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, although some could use updates. The service was outstanding, and I even got upgraded to a better room. The location was perfect for families and close to various entertainment options. However, the dining experience was a bit limited in options, and the facilities were decent but could use some improvements.
The hotel is conveniently located just before the main Chewang beach, offering basic yet functional rooms that may need some updating in the near future. The exceptional friendliness and hospitality of the staff enhance the overall stay, although they could improve on being more well-versed in handling certain matters. The proximity to the beautiful white sea sand and the peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect place for a memorable island vacation.
