ample umbrellasdinner buffetbrief walk

The hotel features two sizable pools. I observed ample sun loungers and umbrellas near both. every evening, buffet options for dinner were available. the hotel is a brief walk to the beach, set back from the street's activity.

the gym had limited hours, which conflicted with MY schedule.

the staff was very friendly and helpful. the location is excellent, very close to kata beach and a street with various shops. i found two pools perfect for relaxation. these pools gave me options (i appreciated that). i enjoyed being so close to everything.

the room i had was close to the road and the traffic noise was a bit loud at times.

the fitness center was quite dated with some equipment out of order. the website advertised three state-of-the-art treadmills, but only one was functional and did not meet the description. staff responsiveness to requests was also slow, and the tv in my room was not working.
