8/10 Good
"Breakfast was great! Beautiful view of the ocean and good selection and service. Rooms are dated and mosquitoes are everywhere on the property. Outlets were in odd positions in the villas. Needed to request an extended power bar, which they accommodated. AC works very well though. Beach isn't the best for swimming. Too shallow. Pool was nice and deep and now has brand new loungers around it. One day bed at the pool has a broken. Awning that needs to be fixed but overall comfortable. Staff were friendly and welcoming. English ability of staff is a little lacking for a 5 star resort. Depends on the staff member working. Some staff were more friendly and sincere than others. Special shout-out to Keen, Party, and Alice. Location: right near Lamai night market so easy access to great options for food. Crystal Bay right around the corner. Nice little beach area though it can be crowded and have some sharp coral. If you are more looking for the party scene or centre of the action, Bophut 30 minutes or so away. Not too bad with a Grab. Overall, It seemed like there were a lot for trainees so maybe some staffing problems. If you are looking for a true 5 star, might be better elsewhere. However it was comfortable and staff were accommodating."
