Experience the Freedom

  Could be great. - This is an average hotel I would say although TUI do give it 4 T’s.

The cons:
1. It’s a bit tired in places and needs a... read more lick of paint here and there around the pool area and that would then make it a lovely pool setting. Also our bathroom wasn’t the best.
2. Drinks and food at hotel some of the most expensive we had in the area although good range and wee were happy with quality.
3. There were large gaps around door frames in our room and quite a lot of bugs around the area. I realise this goes with the territory but felt more could be done to patch up/mesh over open gaps as no one wants to find unfriendly visitors.
4. It was my Partners 40th birthday whilst we were there and I did tell TUI although this went unacknowledged.
5. Location is out of the main hussle and bustle which was fine for us (we always walked to town and got a tuk tuk back) but if you aren’t into walking then something to consider. Also you walk on the road! However there are taxis available outside the hotel.

The pro’s:
1. The staff across the hotel very welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble.
2. This is a nice setting overall with the pool giving the hotel a unique feature and with the swim up rooms which were lovely (just needs some maintenance). Pool bar was good!
3. Breakfast more than adequate - cereals, fruit, range of bread/pastries, eggs cooked to order and other thai/European choices.
4. Nice comfy bed and bedding and good cleaning service daily.

Only other thing to say is that if you try the massages in the spa then they are very very good! I think you pay a little more than out on the street but still a lot less than home and we were really pleased with ours. Also take some coat hangers with you - I’m not marking the hotel down for this as I find it a common problem.

All in all a comfortable stay but probably wouldn’t return although that is more down to the location than the hotel and just preferred other towns which we found when we were there.

  What an amazing place. The staff are so caring and courteous. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Above and beyond. Rooms clean and very comfortable. Having a pool right... read more outside your patio terrace was fabulous. Food in restaurant was very tasty and good size portions. Also room service by boat was a lovely touch. Can’t recommend it enough

  Staff very helpful. A quiet hotel that needs a little talc. It would have been nicer to be closer to beach and I feel that the hotel could offer their... read more beach shuttle on a more frequent basis. But on the whole a very pleasant base to explore that part of Thailand
