We stayed in a sea view twin room. The beds were comfortable and room had a very traditional prestigious feel. The hotel gardens and grounds were very large with lots of areas to walk and explore. The pool is the main reason we chose this hotel, it had the option of a quiet adults area as well as the very large expansive main pool. During our stay in December the hotel was at 90% capacity, but there was always a deck chair available. Staff were very attentive and professional. The spa was WONDERFUL! Great gym as well. 10 minute walk town, yet when you were in the resort you felt like you had your own private beach. Read less

Overall a nice property, good facilities for Karon, on the beach, however too pricy on food if you eat at the hotel! Not worth the value for month! Too many Russians who are rude, hog all the lounge chairs, drop their towel and leave it on the seat for hours, same people daily in the same spots! What I found interesting is that the towel station didn’t open until 9am but the Russians all had their towels and allocated on the lounge chairs!! They have no manners, rude and arrogant, to the point t we decide to leave the hotel and go to Kata beach! Read less
