We booked a night at this hotel on the basis of the good Trip Advisor reviews and scores it received, but having stayed, I cannot understand how it has received such good reviews. To keep things brief:
Negatives: No facilities - a reception and that is all, no common area, no bar, no restaurant; Pool - 2.5m wide running the length of the hotel, accessed from the room patio deck but has no sun (neither do the decks) because it is squeezed in between the face to face rooms and is also cold as a result; Rooms face each other so you can see what everyone is up to unless you/they draw their curtains (no blinds) - may suit some voyeuristic or exhibitionist people!; Our wet room smelled very musty and the aircon downstairs switched itself off every hour; Stairs in room are slippery when wet, open plan with no handrail and would be dangerous for a small child/toddler; TV reception is hopeless; Access to each room is from two side passages off the road a bit like a motel, our side was nicely barbed wired on the other side of the passage!
Positives: Modern design; Excellent Wi-Fi speed which enabled me to watch a streamed movie; Complimentary water and soft drink with tea and coffee making facilities in the room; Bed was comfortable and well presented; Helpful and friendly reception staff.

In summary, we planned to check in and enjoy an afternoon and evening sitting in the sun on our patio deck and having a swim before our flight the next day. What we ended up doing was having a quick cold swim from our shaded deck and walking the beach for somewhere to eat. I can’t comment on the breakfast which was complimentary and available across the street as we left too early to get it. Disappointing all round and poor value at about THB 2350 for the night.More
