i loved the beachfront seating. there were also sunbeds readily available. the location is great for watching the sunsets from the hammock nets during happy hour.
the beach outside was covered in dead leaves. it seemed like the hotel didn't clear them daily. the bar service was poor. the bar tender seemed to lack any enthusiasm.

good varietybreakfast buffetgreat staffterrible pressurebathroom waterjammed curtains
The breakfast buffet was very good. It had lots of variety for both western and Thai food. The staff at the resort were great too. Derek, the manager, and his team were committed to.
The water pressure in the bathroom was terrible. It was hard to wash my hair because of it. The curtains were jammed, so I had to use a clip to hold them closed. It's an old hotel and is rather run down.
the beachfront location was very nice. i had awesome sunsets from the hammock loungers on the beach. the pools were fabulous , and i really enjoyed the evening themed dinners.
I found THE staff very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable just like the pictures. The multiple swimming pools were well maintained. Several restaurants and bars are nearby. The location is really good.
The bathroom was a bit dark and semi-outside. It was a little strange.
