My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is quite nice, with access to the beach, but the walk to the rooms was challenging due to the steep stairs. The service from the staff was decent, though they seemed overwhelmed at times. I found the dining options overpriced and lacking in quality. Overall, the hotel has potential, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

The hotel offers a nice jungle ambiance with clean, modern rooms and a friendly staff who work diligently. However, the dining experience at the restaurant left much to be desired, with repeated issues regarding orders and staff attitude. The location requires some effort to reach the rooms, which might not be ideal for everyone.

I had a fantastic stay with three nights spent at this lovely beachfront resort. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the main town and beach bars. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the beach bar serves delicious meals at great prices. However, I found the air conditioning a bit too cold for my comfort at night. Overall, I would definitely choose to stay here again!

I had a wonderful experience at this beachside hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and insulated well from outside noise. The breakfast spread was enjoyable, offering a mix of foreign and Thai cuisine. However, the location of the rooms isn't ideal for beach views, and the dining service was notably slow. Overall, a good stay, but improvements can be made in service.

My experience at the resort was a mixed bag. While the beach and surrounding area were truly beautiful, the walk to the rooms was a significant inconvenience, especially with so many stairs. The staff were friendly, but the overall maintenance and quality of facilities seemed to be lacking, and dining options were surprisingly pricey for what was offered.

While the resort is perched on a beautiful beach, the steep climb to the rooms made it less convenient than you'd hope, especially after a long day.

Facilities were lacking, with maintenance issues noticeable throughout; the absence of sunbeds on the beach was a significant downside.
