"Cons:
1. The biggest issue: the king-size bed is made up of two single beds pushed together, with two mattresses and two mattress toppers. This setup doesn't create a single, unified surface, resulting in a sloped gap in the middle. If you're sleeping three to a bed (with a child) or as a couple cuddling, someone will end up in that gap. I slept like that for all six nights and woke up with a sore back. This is the biggest drawback of this hotel, and I wouldn't recommend it if this is a critical factor for you.
2. The bed linen and towels often look worn out (not pristine white).
3. The doors (entrance, bathroom) have sagged. There's a finger-width gap between the door and the frame. This means all the mosquitoes will be in your room.
4. There's no ventilation in the room at all. The only window is fixed shut. So, to get fresh air into the room, you have to live with the door open.
5. The family deluxe bungalows are separated from the road by a wall. You sit on your veranda and stare at this wall. It feels like being in a concrete box. If they put some ivy on it, the view would be much better.
6. The breakfasts are average; there's room for improvement. There's no variety. The croissants are dense and cottony, and the muffins are heavy. There's no choice for children at all – they should add waffles and pancakes to the menu. The omelet, however, is tasty.
7. The bungalows are clustered together, with little privacy between them.
8. They don't set up tables on the sand (on the beach) in the evenings – it would have been nice to have that for a romantic dinner.
9. The hotel lacks Thai soulfulness in its decor and small details.
Pros:
1. Well-maintained green grounds. The gardener does a great job.
2. Good room cleaning.
3. The hotel grounds are clean.
4. Good beach. Good sun loungers (though some are already torn at the feet and breaking down).
5. Beautiful restaurant (veranda area).
6. The family deluxe bungalow is spacious (we stayed with an 11-year-old child and it was comfortable).
7. The bungalow is very bright, with many good light sources.
8. Good service at reception.
9. They congratulated me with a cake for my birthday – a nice touch."
