Very Good value, Clean and quiet, excellent low priced food and drinks. Neil the Manager was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Other staff lacked English ability but were responsive to our needs. Hotel had excellent working arrangement with taxi service (Mr. Noi #335) who was exceptionally attentive and helpful. He drove us about twice, shopping and sight seeing. About $30 / 1/2 day and provide return to airport service. Location is a bit isolated (5Km either way) between two major tourist areas, but then we selected it for just that reason for quiet and solitude. Adequate beach and good shade, but water not clear enough for snorkeling. Beachside cabins available but we never looked inside. Hillside rooms had lovely ocean sunrise and beach view but over 60 steps up from beach which is very hard on aging legs. Swimming pool clean and adequate size. Rooms a bit sparse on furnishings but had mini fridge, TV, table, 2 chairs and firm large king bed. A/C was very good and necessary, even in Novemeber. WI-FI internet available in hillside houses, but need Pay-Pay to use it. All in all we got what we expected with good service and reasonable prices.
| Efficient and reliable. Good info on their site.
