The staff are very friendly and helpful, breakfast fine, excellent location straight into the beach although the hotel is at far end of the beach (Man Thai beach) away from all the local services. A Grab bike/taxi ride or minimum 15 minute walk away from somewhere half decent to eat.
The major negatives for me were the 'music' and propaganda announcements on the beach from 5am until 11pm and inadequate sound proofing from the windows. The sound is so loud that it's distorted.
Also, more disturbingly, smoking (and extremely noisy, disrespectful neighbours) is permitted in the room by the placement of an ashtray next to the 'no smoking' sign. No fine for smoking in the room. This allows the disrespectful neighbours to smoke in their rooms with the main door open, and for smoke to waft into my room. I used the dressing gown at the bottom of the door to try to stem the flow of repulsive smoke into my room. The management are seemingly fine with this.
