I had a nice stay at this hotel, which is right on the beach and close to various restaurants. The rooms were fairly spacious and had a great view from the balcony, though the air conditioning did have a bit of a moldy smell. The service was friendly and helpful, especially from the spa and housekeeping staff, but I found the rest of the staff to be a bit less welcoming. Overall, a decent spot for families, especially with kids, though the dining experience could be improved.

I had a decent stay at the hotel with a great location close to some fantastic restaurants and a lively atmosphere at night. The rooms were clean but felt like they needed a bit of TLC, although they were comfortable. The service was excellent with a very friendly staff, but the dining experience was a little underwhelming due to the limited breakfast options. Overall, it's a good value for the price with some improvements needed.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel! The location is fantastic, right near the beach with plenty of nearby restaurants. The rooms are impressively clean and modern; however, there was some noise from the adjacent room that was a bit distracting. The staff really stood out with their friendliness, especially our room maid who surprised us with cute towel animals. A couple of things could be improved in the dining area, but overall, I felt like I got great value for my stay.

This hotel offers a great location with plenty of dining options right at your doorstep and is very family-friendly.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel, it’s located right in the heart of Khao-Lak, which made exploring local restaurants super easy. The staff was amazing—very friendly and helpful. However, getting to my room was a bit of a trek since I had to walk around the back of the property, which wasn’t very relaxing. Also, while the dining options were good, I think there could have been more variety at breakfast.
