We stayed for three nights in February and ended up moving to a different hotel on the island. At first glance the hotel looks nice, but there are many things that need to be improved. It is definitely worth staying in a Deluxe room over the Superior rooms. We were initially put into a Superior Garden room in the back close to the road. The room was dirty and the bathroom looked like something from the dark ages...stone walls, no fan, no hot water, and lots of mosquitos.
The second night we were in a Deluxe Garden room. The room and bathroom were nicer, but we woke up to ants all over the room. The grounds of the hotel are nice, but infested with bugs. Mosquitos are a big problem at this hotel. The pool area and restaurant are nice, but the service was disappointing. We would often have to wait sometime before anyone would help us. I would recommend eating at the many other great restaurants on the island instead.
The hotel has a great location on the beach, but the limited number of beach front lounge chairs are often taken, so you end up staying near the pool. Lastly, though the hotel has internet service, it is very slow...must be dial-up..and the lobby is not air conditioned. Some of the earlier review rated this as a four star hotel, but I would only rate the hotel three star at most. In the end we ended up moving to Amari Emerald Cove Resort where we truly experienced four star accommodations and service. We had a much better experience at Amari and we were able to enjoy the rest of our week long stay on Koh Chang.
