Great hotel and we loved spending time in our pool, breakfast was great, proximity to the beach and shops was a 3 minute walk, workout room was tiny however, climbing the hill to and from the hotel was enough of a workout that we needed.

Dated hotel, but still a good stay
We spent 4 nights here while staying in Kata and had a pretty good time. My main criticisms are that the hotel is a little dated and needs some restoration. We also had issues with the wifi, which was out for an entire day. The rooms are super comfy and the bathroom is great, but we feel the hotel may have been a casualty of Covid. Cleanliness was generally great, but we did discover two dead roaches in the room after returning from outside. Note as well that the hotel is up on a hillside, so be prepared to walk up a bit when returning.

Overall a great property. The rooms are large, the views are beautiful, the location great, the staff friendly and accommodating. The only issue was the WiFi is very slow; however, we purchased a 4G unlimited mobile package which solved that problem.

I'm pleased with the quality for the price. This hotel was a quick walk to the beach and convenient for our purposes. Wifi did not work in the room though. I had to sit on the balcony to have access to wifi. That was the only con.

Overall the hotel is pretty nice. It is on top of a hill but it’s not as bad as many people make it sound : it literally takes 30 seconds to climb the hill and get to the lobby. The hotel has a bit of a weird setup (you might need to take a couple of elevators to get to your room), but the rooms were nice and comfortable. The hotel is also conveniently located close to restaurants and shops. Finally the breakfast was good and with enough variety for a few days.

Convenient and nice spacious rooms
Contacting the hotel a week before the booking was very difficult as emails and calls weren't getting picked up. Later on they said the email didn't go to their main line. Once they answered, it was smooth from there. The hill that people complain about isn't that bad, it's nice exercise. Room was spacious and the jacuzzi tub was great to soak dive gear and dry it on the huge balcony. The queen bed was actually 2 singles put together, but it was still comfy and clean. Bathroom was a bit small and in the morning there was a bad smell from pumping sewage, keep it closed. Area nearby was great and convenient. The sky bar was amazing, loved it. Also enjoyed the omelets at breakfast. Hotel did a thoughtful event for easter too, very sweet. Rented scooter through hotel too @250 baht and airport transfer @ 1000 baht. Nice hotel, we enjoyed our stay.
