I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was quite convenient for exploring the island, the room was not in the best shape, as it had cleanliness issues and was not properly prepared for our arrival. The service from the staff was generally polite, but they seemed to lack some basic information about the amenities. Overall, the value for money was questionable considering the state of the room.

I had a rather mixed experience at the resort. The rooms were huge with a really big bed and a nice balcony, but they could have used a much better cleaning, which left me feeling a bit uneasy. The location is decent for exploring, but it does feel a bit isolated. Though the service was generally friendly, it sometimes lacked efficiency when it came to giving out simple hotel information. Overall, it was a decent stay, but there are definitely some areas for improvement.

I wasn't too pleased with my stay at this resort. The initial impression of the rooms was quite disappointing as they felt more like a hospital than a true resort, being dusty and not up to the '5-star' standard. While the staff were polite and eager to help, the overall experience did not justify the price, especially given the limited dining options.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at the resort. While the surrounding courtyard with palm trees gave a nice tropical vibe, the rooms felt dusty and not very well-maintained for a place claiming to be a five-star. The service was attentive, and everyone was polite, but the location is a bit far from the main attractions. Overall, there are some great aspects, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

I had a great experience at this resort with clean and comfortable rooms that had a huge bed and a nice balcony. The pricing is fantastic at around 1000 THB per night, which makes it a solid choice for anyone looking for value. While the service was a bit lacking when it came to providing basic information, the overall atmosphere was calm and suitable for a relaxing getaway. You should note, though, that the dining options were quite limited.
