A truly splendid hotel. The grounds are amazing leading down to the beach with its bar and restaurants. Rooms are all villa style some with private Pools, shared pool or no pool. There is a lovely pool for all by the beach. The sea at the beach is swim able. There is a great tree top bar and restaurant near reception also. Rooms are spacious and well maintained. Internet is good. Great room services. Grounds well maintained. The staff here are wonderful and we have been very well looked after. The hotel is at the north end of Chaweng beach nicely away from the noise but close enough to get there by tuk tuk or taxi 2-300thb. You can walk it if you feel like it. Near the hotel there are a couple of Thai restaurants pharmacy and Massage place. It’s a great place to stay Read less

My boyfriend and I have just stayed at this beautiful resort for 4 nights and would recommend it to anyone. The grounds of the resort are beautiful and the beach is soft white sand with blue/turquoise waters. The grounds are absolute immaculate with beautiful flowers/trees around and birds tweeting! It’s absolute paradise here. We just had the standard room and it was very clean with a comfortable bed and plenty of space for us. The food at breakfast and in the restaurants is amazing, we didn’t even venture out of the hotel for evening meal/lunch because the menu was so extensive and we wanted to try everything! The staff here are very attentive, polite and friendly! I would not hesitate to return to this beautiful resort and would love to come back in future. Read less
