Pluses:
- friendly staff
- room upgrade to 2 bedroom unit
- shuttle to Karon beach
- free breakfast, reasonable quality
- location is near some convenient shops and small restaurants.
Minuses:
- bed was very hard, enough to bruise my hips. The bed in the other room was softer, should have kicked the kids out of there.
- it took 2 days to get a microwave for the room.
- location is about 20 minutes walk to Karon shops.
- breakfast's not as flash as some of the bigger resorts, selection of Thai dishes plus croissants, omelettes, etc.
Not the resort's fault but it is located in Karon and the best shopping and entertainment is in Patong area. Tuk tuk prices are pretty fixed at 350 baht each way so it adds a bit of cost to your day.
