The Villa room was very conveniently near the beach. I especially loved the outdoor shower. The bed was comfy. I slept so well! Breakfast had a great array of choices, including delicious Thai food.

It was almost impossible to find a sunbed in the morning. People placed towels early and left them unattended. I wish the hotel had rules against reserving sunbeds.

The hotel has a live service counter at breakfast. It offers eggs, waffles, and pancakes. There was also plenty of fresh cut fruit. The room included a nice large sit-out area, with a drying rack for swimwear. The hotel is at the beginning of a popular strip, so shops and bars surround the hotel.

The bar had basic alcohol and ran out of towels on two occasions.
