I was here in Nov 2012 with a group of friends and we all decided that this was definitely a hotel we'd stay at again.
The private beach is great, the pool and sports facilities are clean and well-maintained, the breakfast buffet spread has wonderful variety, and the location--10 minutes away from Patong for shopping and atmosphere--is just right.
The best part of our stay though was the wonderful service. From the concierge, to the waiters, to the staff in charge of the sports facilities, the service should be rated 6 stars! The tennis coach would have cold face towels for us after our game. The concierge would recommend the best spa deals in town (one-for-one packages). The waiters would go on their hands and knees to look for a little screw that came loose from my spectacles, and even fix the spectacles with an improvised toothpick screw!
If one really must look for a drawback, then perhaps the lack of wifi in the rooms was inconvenient. We had to go to the lobby every time we wanted the free internet access.

Stayed at this hotel in early 2012 and found it to very comfortable and accomodating.We were lucky enough to have been uprgraded to a Jnr suite ,which was a marked inprovement on the standard room

The breakfast was great with a wide variety of western and eastern dishes.

overall a great stay.

i stayed in this hotel from 20 till 25th november 2012. It is a nice hotel cause they have a private white sand beach...the hotel is almost old but nice many resturants ..many activites for kids it's suitable for families more cause when you stay at this hotel no need to go out, very big swimming pool. assorted resturants...kidz club...many shops for shopping ..they do have Le meridien boteque you can find many things to buy..they also have ATM Machine no need to go to bank and its near from patong beach & shopping mall, but i have bad experience at there hotel while i was having my breakfast along with my friend we finshed and took our yougurt to finish it outside while we are steping to our room one of the waiteres stoped us & emand us to put it back accoridng to hogtel rules in a very roud way & infornt of everybody..which it was unaccepable to us she could asked in proper way we are not stealing...!!!!

I stayed with my friend on 24th Nov 2012 in Junior suit with balcony.Excellent location with beach, safe to swim on the sea. Five kilometres away from the main Patong beach. Hotel taxi is expensive. Near hotel entrance private taxi available which is reasonable and we can bargain also.
