I went with my finacee to this hotel in March 2012. On the positive side, it was cheap, the staff were very nice, the room was very comfortable, and the breakfast was also very nice with plenty to eat. I read a previous review about a really nice mother and her twins at breakfast. We also got great treatment from this person and treated us very well. The hotel offered free internet (a huge plus for me), and the channels on the TV gave a good selection. There are many restaurants not far from the hotel and you can eat many different types of food. We also ate each day on the beach restaurants (like tents on the sand), but the food was very tasty. But on a less positive note, our room was a "Superior Sea View", but we could not see the sea at all. The beach was only across the road but we could only see the very high trees and market stalls (market restaurants etc). I did not find the area particularly attractive and there was sometimes (and only sometimes I want to stress) quite a strong smell coming from somewhere outside (not sure what the smell was... and don't want to know). But the biggest drawback was that there was no pool! This meant that we only had our room to retreat to when we came back to the hotel. But keep an eye on...I went with my finacee to this hotel in March 2012.

But keep an eye on this hotel. We saw the plans for the new hotel as well as what they have done so far. When finished, it looks like it will be a really nice HUGE hotel and appears to then be definitely worth a visit. The new pool is very large and deep and there look to be many lovely new rooms planned. We may make a trip back after it has been finished.

Be prepared for a very long taxi ride from the Bangkok bus terminus (Bun Pae) (about 30 mins I think... maybe more). But it only costs 60 baht each I think, so can't complain there.More
