Located on a headland between Patong and Karon, this resort hotel is dissected by the road linking the two beaches. The lower section contains the main entrance for vehicles, reception, massage/spa and two restaurants. I was allocated one of the rooms of the upper segment. The hotel provides electric cart transport for the convenience of guests. The entire complex is perhaps 20 years old. Pedestrians risk life and limb crossing this road on foot, so need to be vigilant and be aware of oncoming traffic at all times.
The double room itself is about average in size, with a small balcony. It served its purpose, being comfortable and as advertised, providing an ocean view. Air-conditioning cools down the room within 5 to 10 minutes, there are powerpoints on either side of the queen sized bed and there's a small refrigerator. The wifi signal was good enough and the bathroom was a fairly small open plan affair.
A gym is situated in the upper section and has a very good functioning treadmill, free wrights and some other devices. The pool on the upper section had been drained and under repair. The lowermost pool was open for use. The restaurant/bar opens out to a magnificent sea view and serves quite decent, but expensive food. Their Thai soups and pasta dishes actually very good. Breakfast included and also good with plenty of variety. Booked taxi to airport from reception (1000 TBH). Hotel tariff only $36 AUD through Trip com so not expensive. Plenty of guests staying at the time of writing. If wanting to reach Patong or Karon can hire bike or get taxi. But this resort is a good buffer fron the hustle and bustle of downturn Patong and is a quiet alternative.
