Stayed here for 5 days from April 15-20th 2008. Huge Resort, lots of tour groups. Major construction on the go next door- avoid the 'garden view rooms'
Staff must be overworked and they don't clean your room well or even regularly. Had random calls from the front desk with hangups and confusion.
This place is a scam, nickel and dime charges for everything- 10$/hr for Wi-Fi with your own CPU.
More info about the carpets forsale than what the resort has to offer.
Food is forgettable and pricey.
Stay closer to town/ the beach for the same $ try Burasari or the Holiday Inn.
Better places to stay for the same $ bottom line. We had a pool side room...pool closes at 8pm and gives 10% off for happy hour.
Have a sweet trip! Also Don't get a taxi from the hotel as they also charge you 200THB for this...take a few steps outside the gate and get one for 550THB.
Good luck!

Ok so from past reviews we read we were a little concerned about the noise from the reno's that are going on, We arrived and were made to feel at home right away, it's postion is very close to patong beach and although personally I didn't like Patong at all, it is no reflection on the resort, We asked the manager about the noise issue and he assured us that it was complete, He was genuine in saying that he has read the reviews on websites and in order to fix up the resort they knew work needed to be done, but it doesn't happen over night, and to his credit the place is a perfect haven away from patong

we only stayed there for 5 nights, but everything was perfect, having stayed last time in the Holiday Inn and vowing never to do it again( I don't know how this place keeps it's numbger one rating ), it was nice to have large open spaces , massive pools and privacy, which is something staying in the pool access rooms of the holiday inn we found was no there,

We stayed in a villa which was really nice, very large and had a separate sitting area,
I would totally recommend this place over Holiday inn if you have children if only for the open spaces, we don't have any but where chatting to a family from Australia who loved the fact that there kids could run around and play - there is 20 acres I am told,
Sure it may need a few small things, but with the new management they are really trying and for the price of $100 a night inc breakfast you can't really go wrong, we booked directly and were upgraded, but have since found website that the rate is a little better.
It isn't a 5 star hotel like the Mandarin Oriental KL but is isn't $400 a night either, give it a go you will be happy I am sure

as for the noise yes the gardeners made a little noise but hey, 20 acres of mown grass is nicer then not,

large hotel both pools are nice, not too long a walk to main streets. rooms are very nice and breakfast was ok. very quite at night no real place to have a drink and a fair distance from beach

Had a wonderful time at duangjitt on or first visit to Thailand.
The resort is located at the south end of patong in a beautiful tropical garden. it has all the life of patong within walking distance.
We had booked a standard hotel room, but where given a lovely new bungalow without any extra payment.
Clean room and new towels, bottles of water and coffee every day.
Nice breakfast in the garden with lots of options.
Big swimmingpools .
The only noice we heard was the sounds of the cicades at night, but nothing to complain about :)
