On the beach, you can see the ocean from your window where we stayed. Nice private "pool" (more of a tank, but still very nice). A bit noisy at the early evening hours, but quiet after that. Perfect for relaxing. Many restaurants and coffee shops around.

Just ok
Loves – the location, the private pool on our deck, the bed, room size, most of the staff, the lushness of the property.
Misses – the cleanliness (stains all over the "couch" cushions, which was just patio furniture), the piles of sand or eggs we kept finding every day in our room, the misinformation from staff about breakfast, the condition.

Lovely place to stay with Lamai restaurants and night life just a 5min walk away. The resort doesnt have its own sunbeds on the beach which is the only minor negative comment.

Long nights with jamminz
Good location, right at the start of the beach. Very good restaurant called nana tam 5 min walk. 7eleven up the road.
Lamai night market with loads of food options and a very good bar at the bottom with a very entertaining live band every night. Swimming pool was nice, bar was expensive for drinks and food.
The shared jacuzzi and tv in the room did not work but as we did not use them we just let the receptionist know on the way out. The beach that looks connected to the resort looked like a rubbish dump but that could have been due to the heavy rains before we arrived. Overall a nice place to stay.

Staff were incredibly helpful and always cheerful. Especially Bryan.
Villa we had was perfect, garden view and secluded.
Bar food was always good, drinks not overpriced, pool never overcrowded.
Will be rebooking for next year.

This place was only okay. There were windows in the bathroom, lavatory, and shower that were low set with no ability to cover them and a clear view from the outside in. The area was under construction which was not disclosed prior to arriving. The private pool was not filtering so it was just standing water (it looked like some of the other guests’ pools worked, though). We were roomed in an adjoining suite that we did not have access to or key for and found out on the second day that it had been left completely unlocked by the staff (we could not lock it ourselves because it was a deadbolt). The area around the hotel did not match the pictures in the listing. The staff was nice which was their best quality. Overall it’s not the worst but definitely not what we were expecting.

Vårt lille basseng var fullt av løv og fugleskit, rengjøringen var så som så og rommet vårt luktet rått, gode senger stille og rolig, men vi ble litt skuffet denne gangen, men for et pr siden da vi bodde der var vi super fornøyd

Das Personal war super freundlich. Sie helfen bei allen Anliegen und versuchen den Aufenthalt bestmöglich zu gestalten. Es gibt viele Angebote für Ausflüge, Transfer, Unternehmungen worum sich das Personal kümmert. Auch die Möglichkeit einen Roller zu mieten klappt prima. Es ist alles fußläufig erreichbar (Strand, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Restaurants, Clubs, Bars). Das Frühstück ist leider weniger gut, es gibt wenig Auswahl und es wird nicht oft aufgefüllt. Die Bar am Pool ist gut. Die Pools werden zwar jeden Tag „sauber“ gehalten, sind aber dennoch sehr trüb. Das Bad war leider sehr dreckig und in keinem guten Zustand. Die Klimaanlage lief einwandfrei.
