This hotel was fine. The landscaping was perfect and a VERY convenient location since the beach was right across the street. The bed was hard and the food for breakfast was not what I would have expected. There weren’t a lot of options but hey, it came with my stay and at least I could eat something. The receptionist went above and beyond even with me not being fluent in Thai and the spa staff were IMMACULATE!!!!!!!!!!!

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff were unhelpful, lied to my boyfriend and I saying they were fully booked making us pay the most expensive price once we tried to extend our stay. There was nobody by the pool and it obviously wasn't full as we could see empty rooms. We wanted to extend our stay for a couple nights and the price was cheaper online ($32) so when we went to show the front desk so we could just pay it right away. They told us to just book it online for the cheaper price cause they couldn't do it at the front desk for some reason... Then when we went back to out room to book it the price magically went up to $98. I didn't realize and booked it and when we wanted to get a refund cause I can afford almost $400 for 3 more nights they said it was non refundable. We also didn't get breakfast which was ridiculous because I have no idea what I payed for. They also tried to charge us for beer that we replaced because it didn't have "tfv" written on-top. The staff didn't do anything to smooth over the situation or make us happy. Would never recommend staying here and hope karma gets them. I'm extremely disappointed and so glad to be out of there and in a new hotel.

They lied to our face. We payed 32 Canadian dollars for our stay. We payed online. We thought we could just extend our visit by paying cash but they said the rooms were completely booked, and if we want to stay it’s triple the initial price.. the rooms were all empty our entire stay. 👍 I don't like liars. We paid them, then the price went back down the next day. Never again. Also they don't speak good English.

Great hotel just far enough away from the hectic tourist area, yet close enough to walk to restaurants and the beach. They did seem to run out of sunbeds very early and didn’t enforce their ‘no sunbed reservation’ rule so sometimes we missed out. Great breakfasts, but there needs to be a better system for ordering eggs!! Overall a good hotel and a pleasant stay (10 nights)

Hotel was good, but my room was a 5 minute walk away from reception. No WiFi, as it was so far away. Room was superb, with a nice view. Breakfast was the best I have ever eaten, in Phuket!

It's not as nice as they say
The receptionist didn't speak good english, was not really friendly. When we asked if we could extend the stay to midnight and pay for a half, if not we just pay in full they said no more room but expedia said they still have room available. The room was nice but the hallway and the building were kind of old. Took days to answer email, not recommended for if you are looking for a place to relax or honeymoon.
