The hotel is quite big. Decorated very nicely. When we checked in we were given smiles from the staff which lasted our whole stay. Thai's in my book have to be one of the friendliest nations I have ever met. Nothing is too much trouble for you.



The hotel is located at the end of Cheweng Road, in the heart of shops, bars, and restaurants. This end is quieter than the other so it’s not too noisy.



Our room was facing the sea and very big. The bathroom was massive and we had a balcony which we tended to have a few drinks on before we had our dinner of an evening.



The gardens within the hotel are picturesque. The pool area is lovely too.



The breakfasts were nice and quite a selections. Eggs omelette pancakes waffles, fruit, pasties cakes breads etc.



We eat quite a bit at lunchtime at the Sea Breeze bar which has a lovely view of the beach.



It was recommended to me before I went to go to a restaurant called the Red Snapper. We were not disappointed and eat here three times in total. My wife always ate the seafood, crab, lobster etc.



Lovely hotel and would recommend to anyone to come here.

We stayed here for 11 nights in...

We stayed here for 11 nights in August 2007.



The hotel is very grand and from the moment you walk in you are greeted with a smile from the reception staff. The staff are amazing. Nothing is too much for them here. This is true of most Thai people.



The hotel is located at one end of the busy Cheweng road which has lots of shops, bars and some great restaurants. The end of the strip is somewhat quieter, so you are not in the middle of it all.



All rooms are sea facing and very large with lovely bathrooms and balconies. The hotel are currently upgrading the rooms as the bathrooms needed a little modernising.



The pool area is pretty. The gardens are gorgeous and kept really very well. The hotel is situated on Cheweng beach.



Food here is good. Breakfast - there is so much selection, probably the best selection I have ever had for breakfast anywhere in the world. You still have an "egg man"!



Usually we had lunch at the Sea Breeze bar where food was very good.



The barman at the pool bar had a knack of remembering my drinks! They had some great cocktails.



Restaurants recommendations: The Drop Inn, The Green Olive, Red Snapper. Can’t remember the names of the others but these were some of the best.



All in all a good hotel with a great location. Would come back here again.
