Mae Nam Chinatown Market

Great place with direct beach access. The rooms were big and clean. Staff members are always at hand to help out with any service requests. Breakfast offerings were plentiful, and there's a made to order station serving different egg options. There's a pool to lounge around if one desires, and the convenient location makes it easy to go down to the main stretch of Chaweng. 7-11 sits across the street, and many restaurants are nearby.

Pros: Very clean hotel, well-maintained rooms, and an excellent kids' club. The pool is great (we loved seeing the water quality checks!), and it's just a 5-minute walk to Fisherman’s Village. Friendly staff. Cons: Extremely high poolside prices (3x more than outside; 400 THB for a cocktail) and a serious lack of shade around the pool area.

Overall was an amazing stay. Staff are friendly and the property is well kept. Our ocean view pool villa was just what we wanted. Only 2 things that drop the rating to 4 stars instead of 5 1) wait time to get some items from housekeeping took almost 1hr (just 2 beach towels) - other services like calling a buggy or room service was very prompt and speedy 2) there was a wedding but the notification did not mention anything about loud music from the restaurant. (Only mentioned loud noise from a firework show at 1030pm - which was fine as we expected it) It went on for about 3 hrs. We could here all the music and lyrics clearly from our villa. We understand it is a wedding and a happy occassion but was not expecting the music (if any) to be that loud. If we knew we would have made arrangements to go out to town that night. It did ruin our night and was very unpleasant. We also could barely hear the TV with the music playing. We were about 3 or 4 villa ls away from the Star restaurant where the wedding was held Front office staff was nice and offered an apology meal but it doesnt amount to the 1 night value we lost to enjoy our night and villa. Hopefully the next wedding wont effect the next guests Other than that..amaIng property, great views and nice staff
