We spent 5 nights here and on arrival were upgraded from Sea Fan Deluxe to a Coral room. This was right at the top of the resort by the banana pool. Room 6202. The coconut pool was also closer by but we preferred the banana as it was so much quieter with a nice sunbed area. Buggies to get around the resort are great as it is very steep and a long walk without. Rooms were great size, good bathroom and stunning sea views. Staff are super helpful and the resort is really well maintained. Great location with 5 minute walk into Karon

Staff: accommodating and hospitable Amenities: I utilized the Spa, 3-day package. I had Tik, I always left feeling so relaxed Room: I had a Tropical room not too far from the main lobby which was great. Be prepared to walk in this hotel, I would say that’s its major downfall alongside some areas that could use renovating Food: breakfast had its standard American items, mixed with cultural dishes which was nice to have some variety. Dinner and room service was great with the choices of Thai food or American style cuisines

Really beautiful resort and I loved my stay here. The only downside was breakfast in the morning. I eat halal food only and there were very less option for me. Knowing Thailand has a huge muslim population they should have separate halal options for everyone. But other than that great experience!

The room was loaded with sand fleas and ants - both were in the bed as well! Not what you want to see! Had to check-out early after 1 night. The property needs upkeep. The pictures looked great, but clearly pictures can be deceiving!
