"The hotel is definitely a 5 star resort. The grounds are very tropical with fish in several ponds and birds chirping. The restaurants by the ocean are great, and the food was very good as well. Had salmon and shrimp tostada on two occasions. The room with the balcony and hot tub was nice. Great view from the room. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The gym is very good, and the spa is very tranquil with skilled massage therapists. Security is tight with guards checking all incoming vehicles. The only 2 drawbacks was my room was further towards the back of the property and you could hear road noise from time to time. Also, there are no chairs directly on the beach for this hotel. You either had to sit by the pool chairs that have chairs facing the beach or you have to walk down about a quarter mile to rent a chair for 100 bhat which was fine. Lastly some of the beach had some plastic bottles and such on and off the paths, and the flags were always up and red which prevented swimming. I took a cab further down to kata, and Karon beach further down to swim. All in all a great stay about 10 minutes by cab down to Bangla if you wanted the night life and about an hour to the airport. "
