We chose this hotel for the first week of our honeymoon based on a few recommendations and the reviews on here. Unfortunately the weather was not great during our stay however we did expect this being 'rainy season'. We were torn between the deluxe balcony room and the seaview rooms, eventually deciding on the deluxe balcony and I'm glad we did. The sea view rooms are set quite a way back with trees in front so some with a partial seaview, plus they are quite near to the restaurant which can be intruding at times. Our room was overlooking the pool area and had a relaxing day bed on the balcony. The room itself had everything we needed and the outside bathroom was a nice touch. I have to compliment the house cleaning staff as they were very attentive and cleaned the room twice per day. The restaurant area was good and we ate on the beach a couple of evenings. The food is fairly pricey so I would suggest walking along the beach and trying the 'Sunset Reataurant' open all day, it's a third of the price and delicious food. The hotel also runs the shuttle bus into Anong Beach 3 times a week so also recommend for some good bars and restaurants.
Unfortunately we have a few negatives...
We were sold on this hotel as a honeymoon and couples resort believing it to be adults only but it is not! There were a couple of young children staying and 1 of which they chose to put in the room right next door despite other rooms being empty. We wouldn't have minded had it not been a disobedient child that banged walls and slammed doors open very morning and night. We did complain and Sunny wa brilliant, trying to do all he could to make our stay enjoyable.
The second is that when we stayed there was no bar, it was being build during our stay and the noise from drilling and hammering went on all day. Having a massage with a drilling in the background is not so relaxing.
Albeit the above, it's hard to find a sunset like this, sipping a cocktail and watching the sun go down, very romantic!
What makes this hotel is the staff, location and of course Sunny!! :)
