Our room was not very nice at all, stains down the wall and very very basic. Good selection of food for breakfast, however all the swarming flies turned me off it!! Perhaps some covers would be ideal!! The new part of the resort on the beach front is very nice, and am sure once the renovations are done, the new rooms will be too.

I have stayed here before and again rented a Thai House Cottage. We stayed for two nights three days in early Feb 2012. I was awakened both mornings at 8am by construction workers banging on metal beams. Yet, after 10am there was no more noise, could have waited to make noise later in the day.
The worst thing was trying to eat breakfast in their dinning room. There was a constant parade of Russians in speedos and two piece bathing suits, with their fat, body hair, crotches and butt cracks parading face level as we were trying to eat. They were using the employee kitchen entry to sort cut to the beach, instead of following the path a few more meters to go through the lobby or around building. I was standing in a line waiting for fresh eggs and they were pushing through the line of people waiting, instead of walking one meter around a table next to us. I had one man grab my arm and push it out of his way so he could walk through the line. The staff in the dinning room were just standing around, instead of stopping them from disturbing people trying to eat. It was rude and disgusting what these people were doing and the hotel staff did nothing to stop it!

Stayed in one the so-called garden-view rooms, but since construction is going on, not much of a view. Also, very noisy. Worse still was that the building is next to the hotel's workshop, which generates so much noise of its own (not related to the construction site), that you feel like you're living in a hardware store. At dusk I went to the front desk to complain -- you have to go in person because there are no phones in the room. The lady at the desk was helpful and made the workers stop the noise. Unfortunately, it turns out that the work area is also the gathering place for off-duty staff, and by 9pm the place was noisy again with staff engaged in extremely loud conversation, the crackling static of walkie-talkies turned to full volume punctuating the air, so that we could hear everything clearly in our room despite our closed windows. I again went to the front desk, and within ten minutes they made sure their own staff were quiet. That's when the noise from the nearby disco kicked in.
All in all, a very unpleasant experience. (On the plus side, very firm mattress so that eventually was able to get a decent sleep, once the disco closed.)
