"We had a fantastic stay over a 10 day period, October 2026: Pros: Great pools and bars, breakfast amazing, location close to beach and 7 Eleven, rooms clean with interconnecting option, room service was quick, no undisclosed fees or nasty surprises when checking out, easy to get to Patong via a Grab. Cons: Noisy if you have a room near a pool bar, house keeping arrived very late most days (approx. 4pm), although it can' be helped there was a lot of maintenance work going on which meant noise and access issues, get constantly hassled by hotel workers at driveway to use their taxi's.

Its a 5-10 minute walk from the beach and the main strip but has plenty little restaurants and bars close by (shout out to the Red Chair and its staff - great food there). The hotel is quiet and peaceful allowing you to relax within a short distance of the main Kata shopping and bar district. There's a free shuttle which will take you to and from Kata and Karon (9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm). Breakfast is plentiful.
