Great hotel and we loved spending time in our pool, breakfast was great, proximity to the beach and shops was a 3 minute walk, workout room was tiny however, climbing the hill to and from the hotel was enough of a workout that we needed.

We spent 4 nights here while staying in Kata and had a pretty good time. My main criticisms are that the hotel is a little dated and needs some restoration. We also had issues with the wifi, which was out for an entire day. The rooms are super comfy and the bathroom is great, but we feel the hotel may have been a casualty of Covid.
Cleanliness was generally great, but we did discover two dead roaches in the room after returning from outside. Note as well that the hotel is up on a hillside, so be prepared to walk up a bit when returning.

I love this place, I stayed here 9 years ago and it's still just as good. Lovely room, pool and gardens, good breakfast and friendly staff.

Overall a great property. The rooms are large, the views are beautiful, the location great, the staff friendly and accommodating. The only issue was the WiFi is very slow; however, we purchased a 4G unlimited mobile package which solved that problem.

Overall the hotel is pretty nice. It is on top of a hill but it’s not as bad as many people make it sound : it literally takes 30 seconds to climb the hill and get to the lobby. The hotel has a bit of a weird setup (you might need to take a couple of elevators to get to your room), but the rooms were nice and comfortable. The hotel is also conveniently located close to restaurants and shops. Finally the breakfast was good and with enough variety for a few days.

Service has a little worse this time. Made an enquiry on airport transfer and the staff just curtly pointed to a sign. Wifi was quite patchy. Facilities are ok.

Location is fine if you're looking for a quite spot.
The rooms have heavy unpleasant damp smell and could use fresh dry air once in a while .

Contacting the hotel a week before the booking was very difficult as emails and calls weren't getting picked up. Later on they said the email didn't go to their main line. Once they answered, it was smooth from there. The hill that people complain about isn't that bad, it's nice exercise. Room was spacious and the jacuzzi tub was great to soak dive gear and dry it on the huge balcony. The queen bed was actually 2 singles put together, but it was still comfy and clean. Bathroom was a bit small and in the morning there was a bad smell from pumping sewage, keep it closed. Area nearby was great and convenient. The sky bar was amazing, loved it. Also enjoyed the omelets at breakfast. Hotel did a thoughtful event for easter too, very sweet. Rented scooter through hotel too @250 baht and airport transfer @ 1000 baht. Nice hotel, we enjoyed our stay.

Great stay. Staff were helpful and friendly, and room was comfortable. Excellent location too, only a few minutes from the main beach, and not too far from Kata Noi for something a little quieter and less crowded.

I have stayed several times so far but this time was the worst. I liked the room but staff's attitude was very bad. Bar was closed during operation hours. Lift was not working so I had to walk up to my room. So tiring.....and staff had forgotten completely about my morning call. It was terrible.

I’ve been numerous times to Thailand in the past 10yrs but had never experienced such bad service and attitude from a hotel. During our 5 nights stay it felt like the staff had no proper training or simply could not care enough to provide a good service.
To exemplify, a hotel so-called 4 stars cannot:
give to couples a voucher of welcome drink for one;
serve cold food at breakfast. The buffet overall was pretty unsatisfying;
run out of hot water daily;
refuse to supply ice to the room and instead tell you to go buy it in the supermarket;
be unhelpful when you need a taxi;
advertise its free mini bar that consists of: 1x cola; 1x juice and 1x beer;
advertise its sky bar that is only open from 5:30pm to 8pm. IF it opens: in one of the evenings there was no one working there, I called the reception and the excuse was the bad weather, which was not the case, it was a beautiful evening and there were many guests like us just wanting to enjoy the sunset;
insist to charge you for a broken drinking glass - which for sure we did not break.
Yet, with all the limitations, the most upsetting was the kind of answer to each situation: always a categoric and rude “NO”. Without any of the kindness and sweet hospitality typical of Thailand.
Which is a shame because the property itself is nicely designed and the location is really good. But the service was so bad that along our stay we had no desire to even try the swimming pool - whatever, the pool bar was always closed anyway.
