We stayed as a family (two adults and an 8-month-old baby). The hotel accommodated all our requests when booking—we were given a room on a high floor with a gorgeous sea view (Room 1902 on the 9th floor). The soundproofing was also great; we couldn't hear the neighbors at all, which is super important when traveling with a baby. On top of that, when our friends arrived, the staff had no problem putting them in the room next door at our request—a special thank-you for that! The room itself was excellent, featuring a jacuzzi on the balcony. No complaints about the service whatsoever—housekeeping, along with changing the bed linens and towels, was done daily. The room was spotless, with no ants or other bugs in sight.
There are several pools on-site, all kept impeccably clean. There is a dedicated kids' pool with a depth of 60 cm, while the other pools are 1.2 meters deep.
The location is simply fantastic: just a 3-minute walk to the beach. Literally everything you need for a comfortable stay is right at your fingertips—cafés, a laundry service, scooter rentals, and a 7-Eleven. Right to the left of the hotel, there’s an excellent massage parlor. A quick heads-up for those traveling with a stroller: there is an incline of about 30 meters leading straight up to the hotel. Pushing the stroller up and down this stretch is best left to your husband.
A special shout-out to the staff—they are mega awesome! Everyone was incredibly friendly, showing so much warmth and care toward children. They accommodated us in every way possible: checking us in 2 hours early upon arrival, and granting us a late check-out on departure. For a 3-hour extension, we only paid an extra 400 THB (even though the reception rate states 200 THB/hour).
Regarding the food: breakfast was decent, but there is one thing to keep in mind. The menu is heavily egg-based, so if you're not a fan of eggs, the selection might seem limited and you probably won't enjoy it.
Overall, we were completely thrilled with Sugar Palm Grand Hillside. We loved it so much that we actually canceled our reservation at another hotel just to extend our stay here. Highly recommended, and we definitely plan to come back next year!
