Stayed at the expat recently and can't say a bad word about it. The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of patong. Close enough to the nightlife that you can walk to it but is quiet so you can't hear any noise. The room met all our needs. The on site restaurant offers a good range of food and good prices. The on site bar offers a really good night out as there is always a mixture of guests and regulars to help you enjoy this. All staff were friendly and helpful. We were well looked after throughout our stay. I can't praise them enough. I do plan to return for a stay at the expat and recommend the hotel for anyone to stay in as there were solo travellers, couples and families there during my stay.

Great resort
Great resort to relax. Pool is exceptional clean and refreshing. Room has extra pillows which a major bonus. Don't turn shower all the way on if you want hot water. Half pressure and your fine. Restaurant in hotel has amazing food. Ate there a few times, every time was great. You can't ask for a better location.

Disappointed with Service and overall feeling
The pool site has an overall good feeling, a bit run down but still ok to enjoy. Rooms are small, and AC wasn't working correctly. Rooms are old and run down. Very disappointed with the service, especially from the front desk. Unfriendly, and not willing to listen. Even prepaid all my rooms, they wanted me to charge the double. They claimed that my credit card was not working. Check-out took me nearly 1.5h. Even they were running a scam, there was no sorry from their side. Traveled with a friend who booked over an other website and experienced exactly the same. I would not recommend staying there.
