Reviews
We usually come here to celebrate birthdays – book a night, enjoy the ocean breeze, and soak up the energy.
In the evening there’s a beach party with fire shows, great food, and tasty cocktails (highly recommend the strawberry daiquiri!).
There's also a wonderful massage service if you're looking to relax a bit.
The location is unbeatable – right in the heart of Chaweng, so you can go out and walk back easily.
The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the whole vibe is festive and laid-back.
Always a great time!
you just can't sleep, our neighbors were partying, shouting, playing the Goblet drum, dancing and singing until 7 am in their balconies, left, right, up and opposite! they were drunk, nasty and they did not care about anyone as if this hotel is completely owned by them.
hotel staff & their security are very nice to deal and very understanding, they felt what we are going through but they couldn't do anything about it.
a day was wasted in God's heaven on Earth, we decided to leave and we lost 2 days bookings, i just wish i read reviews on google instead of booking.com first.
