the pool was nice and I love the hotel set up.
the property wasn’t close to anything everything was like 30 minutes away. they only had breakfast no dinner. not many restaurants nearby. the beds were horrible not comfortable at all. it’s definitely a cheap hotel , it did the job cause we was gone on tours on most days. they were very accommodating for breakfast and staff was very friendly. but I don’t think I would stay here again.
4.0 / 10.0
the rooms were tidy and modern
no restaurant on site
breakfast caters for Chinese only
too far away from anything 30min drive to bars and food
being so far away really need food options
nothing around the area either

Room is quite well, calm and suitable for relax. A construction is still on progress, however there was no its noisy during night time. Pool is pretty good, clean and nice.
A limited parking lot approximately 10 cars and quite not be well for coach or bus, those area pretty narrow, but not bad.

6.0 / 10.0
Perfect located in the center of the island, next to many services but a few Km far from any beach.
Clean, good and friendly staff, big and clean room.
In Dec. 2022 the resort in still under huge renovation and therefore all the additional services were not available (restaurant, SPA, reception hall and so on) nevertheless, very good value for money since the rooms are given to around 1000 THB per night only. Standard price for this type of hotel in the high season should be not less than 3000THB per night.

Quiet location
Channels on the TV is very limited
6.0 / 10.0
The location is good if you come on business to Phuket.
The hotel staff do not understand English at all. Simple requests are difficult to fulfill.
The cleaners enter the room without knocking. All employees need to take service courses and gain basic knowledge of working in a hotel.

Gorgeous scenery, all green, looks so tropical.
We did love our stay there. Even if they are going through some renovations at the moment, there’s still a huge potency of the resort.
10.0 / 10.0
Location was great for going to places as it was in the middle of nearly everything. Staff members were very nice and polite always greeted and even help.
Some parts of the hotel was under renovation and the parking area to the room is a bit far.

The hotel does not fit the description provided. Considering the Covid19-situation and the fact that Thailand has been hit hard makes it understandable that the hotel is in the shape that it is, but the pictures and descriptions on this website are simply false advertising. The hotel is divided in 2 buildings of which one is completely empty. The lights at the pool area are off, the gym is closed and the equipment is placed in some sort of children’s area of questionable cleanliness with no working air-con. The hotel simply felt run-down and the junior suite we stayed in does not have a separate living room or kitchenette, even if the description says so.
7.0 / 10.0
Big rooms
Nice pool
It looks like the hotel just reopened after covid shutdown and almost everything was still closed (spa, restaurant, lobby bar, pool bar, etc.)
Not a 5-star property
10.0 / 10.0
everything.

9.0 / 10.0
Workmanship on construction with brickwork was impressive. It was a quiet place to stay.
Breakfast was limited to a few choices. Coronavirus created problems with lack of guests in bookings. Television selection was limited with no English speaking stations.
