I'll try to be objective. I chose a hotel two days before my flight, so my options were limited, but I really wanted to get to this beach. It used to be quite deserted, but things have certainly changed.
So, the big pros:
-Proximity to the beach (you step out of your room and find yourself immediately on a stunning beach and a stunning sea).
- Overall, a beautiful place, despite the increasing tourist flow in this area. If you go left, you'll find a picturesque island, and if you go right, you'll take stunning photos with planes landing in the background. There's a functioning Buddhist temple nearby.
- Nearby, there are all sorts of shops and cafes for every taste and budget, as well as a night market.
-Compared to Patong, it's quite uncrowded (for now). Recommended for families with children.
Cons (I'll note right away that I stayed in one room, so the overall picture may be different in other rooms):
-When the hotel says there's a window in the room, they're being disingenuous... it would be better if there wasn't one at all, because it only opens about 30 centimeters, and that's onto the stairs and a piece of dirty fence, and at night, there are sounds going on behind it. Some local squabbles with heart-wrenching screams. Sleeping is so-so, of course...
- Renovations are underway in the neighboring rooms, so stepping and jumping over piles of construction materials and dirty puddles is not very comfortable.
- The linens and furniture are worn out... well, have some respect for the guests, for this price, at least change the blankets...
- Glass front door... I, a healthy guy, probably don't mind it much, but it might be uncomfortable for girls...
- The shower drains poorly, flooding the floor ankle-deep, both near the toilet and the sink....
- The soundproofing is simply unreal... it's like being in the same room with neighbors...
- Overall, it's a bit dirty and unkempt. You walk down the hallway and everything around you is scattered, unkempt, etc....
The receptionists tried their best, but I still have a negative feeling after my stay. Maybe it will be better after the renovation.
