We booked this hotel for our Honeymoon. We opted for the ocean view room and it was simply stunning. The views were gorgeous and the room itself was very spacious. The hotel is situated on Ao Nang beach and is about a 5 minute walk to the main \"strip\". Now this area is very busy, packed with shop's, bars and restaurants. What we loved was being close enough to have all the options but far enough to enjoy peaceful evening's on our balcony.

Big tourist trap, the ratings are so off! Service is bad, pool has slides for kids but sun beds do not face them so very hard to monitor your kids. People are leaving their towels to keep their spot all day even when the rules say 45min max, and staff don’t say or keep track of anything about it…breakfast is disappointing, coffee is disgusting (tastes like instant coffee robusta) there’s a Starbucks hut adjacent to the breakfast room where you will pay 4$ for a medium americano (almost feels like it’s there on purpose!) rooms are good for families, very simple. Poor wifi. Feels crowded all day long, not really enjoyable (visited mid January). Expensive for a hotel rated 5star, standing not delivered. Don’t recommend.

Overall the hotel was lovely. Felt safe, great location, lovely staff. Fire shows nearby on beach at night, nearby massages and monkeys a very short walk down the beach away from town too.

Only downside for me was being food poisoned towards end of my trip which I believe I got from an overpriced burger at this hotel. I started feeling unwell an hour after eating it for dinner ...had only eaten breakfast at the hotel earlier and hadnt eaten anywhere else that day, been careful with water etc. I then spent the next 40 hours in bed feeling too unwell to even sit on my balcony, and have lost 3kg so far over the last 4 days (that's the silver lining). May have not been from the hotel but seems most likely with timings and symptons.

Stayed with family, our toddler enjoy the enormous pool and great breakfast options.
Our room was huge with a nice balcony overlooking the pool and the beautiful limestone mountain. Water was provided in glass bottles and I did notice they used minimal plastic. The restaurant at the back is great, it's literally on the beach. Cool place to hang out for drinks in the evening.
Cons: The beach isn't great, it was murky and was uninviting. The property also has an open drain running between the property. Although this wasn't a concern for us since our room was away from the drain. Might be an issue if your room is located close to the drain. The property is also located at a corner of AoNang, getting public transport requires a bit of a walk.

Great for kids!

Shout out to David and Tina - the two remarkable folks managing the kids activities. You both made a huge difference to our kids and the overall trip - thanks so much!

The hotel is nice - the breakfasts aren't anything you are going to write a review about - but they are fine and varied and not too bad. The restaurant at the beachside pool is very yummy if a bit expensive. Don't miss dinner there with the trio of young ladies singing and the fireshow - lots of fun.

The pools were the highlight of the trip! We were happy to be in one of the poolside family suites and it worked really well for us.

The downside as others have mentioned were the folks at the front desk - perfunctorily friendly and absolutely unhelpful - don't ask them for anything, don't lose anything, don't have any special requests because it's not going to happen. They may acknowledge an issue, but they won't actually do anything about it.

Having said that - it's a nice place with nice people - you'll enjoy it.

The pool on the ocean side is small and has a small bar cafe. The staff were nice.
We previously stayed at the Marriott Resort and Spa on Merlin Beach in Phuket. This property is much more basic.

I have NO CLUE how this was rated wonderful. The place smells of mold and kids run wild unattended yelling and screaming in the hallways. There was nothing relaxing about it at all. I had to use my inhaler because I was having difficulty breathing and was wheezing and had horrible headaches, itchy watery eyes and nose only while in the room. I sleep on the porch. Continually brought to the attention of front desk and security and housekeeping and when we checked out. We asked what the smell was and were told it was mold and I already knew it was mold.

Great stay despite poor initial impressions

We liked this place a lot more after the first night. On checkin, the hotel seems a bit run down. The staff had stained shirts, the folio with the paperwork looked like it was 20 years old, the welcome drinks were not good. Fortunately, everything improved significantly from those first impressions.

The rooms were comfortable, though the kids beds are about as hard as you could possibly make them. Literally like sleeping on a board. Fortunately our kids can sleep anywhere so it wasn't an issue.

The AC was super strong and it took a few hours for the AC unit to remove the humidity in the room and moisture from the floors - so if they're wet when you first get there, don't worry. Give it a few hours.

The main pool you see when you checkin is fairly meh. It's a large and clean kids pool with some average water slides. The real pool is close to the beach and much, MUCH more picturesque. We spend most of our time there.

We also loved the location of the hotel. From the beach side of the property, it's a 7-10 minute walk to the shopping area and along the way there are a bunch of cute seaside dining and drink options. The drink stand closest to the hotel sells very cheap drinks, but unfortunately, the offbrand liquor (including tequila made from rice alcohol!) made for terrible drinks.

The beach is very close and fairly clean, and it's only a short walk to the longtail boat dispatch hut where you can grab a boat to Railay beach (highly recommended).

Great hotel

Overall, the hotel was great. We booked a family room with pool access and the room was clean, spacious, and worth the extra cost to have such wonderful access to the pool - which was huge! Beach access was great too. I knocked off a star because when we checked in, the hotel said I couldn't have my 18 and 17 year old stay in the room with us even though it clearly states on hotels.com that the room sleeps 4. When I checked in, the hotel said that I could only have 4 if the other two are under 12 but that was not stated anywhere in the fine print and wouldn't let me check in until I paid extra. I found that unsettling, especially when I found an entirely separate room for the two bunk beds that ended up being a perfect setup for my children - who at 18 and 17, COULD have a separate room (and we've booked plenty when needed) but being in separate rooms naturally creates distance and I wanted us all together for this family experience. The cost wasn't prohibitive and I didn't let it ruin my experience, but since it's not high season right now, it was a little off-putting.

Rooms have very thin walls. The daily fire show is absolutely pointless as you are sat on a beautiful beach with beautiful surroundings. Then all of a sudden some people turn up with the loudest speaker playing the worst music burning kerosene. Not needed and about as entertaining as a broken leg. Onsite singers also not particularly entertaining as can’t really sing. Some ambient vibes would be better. Breakfast hall too small for the amount of people. Lovely people but wouldn’t return.
