My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although not very clean, was spacious with a balcony offering a side view of the sea, exactly as I requested to be near the pool or beach for my elderly companion. However, the price was a bit steep for the overall experience.

The hotel is an old gem located right by the beach offering spacious and comfortable rooms, though showing signs of wear and tear with the pricing. The service lacked attention to detail and language proficiency. The sprawling location boasts numerous facilities, while being a bit out of the way for some.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was clean and nice, but I had to ask housekeeping to clean it properly after checking in. Although it was a Superior deluxe room, it would have been better if breakfast was included. The view was supposed to be of the garden, but it could be improved. The service was a bit inconsistent, with some staff members being kind and helpful, while others were not as accommodating. The location was good, overlooking the swimming pool and the sea, but it was quite far from the main PD attractions. The hotel offers a wide range of facilities, from a fitness center to a private beach with water sports, but the dining options were not up to the standard for a 5-star hotel.

The hotel rooms have some issues like faulty refrigerators and low water pressure, but my room was decent after being cleaned by the housekeeping manager.

The dining experience was disappointing with recycled food, but the Thai dishes were okay. The facilities are acceptable but could use some improvement.

The room I stayed in was supposed to be ready at 4 pm but unfortunately, it wasn't. Although I booked a room with a garden view, it looked more like a garbage dump site. The room seemed to be in a much better condition; however, there was no plug for the bathtub which was a bit inconvenient.
