I really enjoyed my stay at the resort! The atmosphere was vibrant with the new restaurants and live music nearby, although it could get a bit loud at night, making it difficult to sleep. The staff were absolutely wonderful, always ready to help make our experience better. While the breakfast was good, there were small areas that could use some improvement. Overall, the value for money was great, and I appreciated the location being close to both the city center and the beach.

During my stay, I found the hotel to have spacious rooms and a great location just a short walk from Sairee Beach. The staff was welcoming and attentive, which really enhanced my experience. However, I faced some issues with the air conditioning not functioning properly, which detracted from my overall comfort. While the room was clean and offered good value, the inconsistent service from one staff member left a sour note on my stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the instructors for diving were experienced, and the room provided a beautiful view of the ocean and pool. The staff, particularly at the reception, were friendly and willing to assist. However, there were notable issues with the facilities, including malfunctioning air conditioning and inconsistent hot water. While I appreciate the effort of the helpful staff, the unresponsive management and some neglected areas of the hotel left much to be desired.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and I have to say the location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach. However, the Wi-Fi was frustratingly poor, and the air conditioning didn't work very well, making it uncomfortable at times. While the rooms were spacious and the bathroom was nice, the service was lacking and caused several inconveniences.
