Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was so disappointed by this hotel. It wasn't definitely not worth the money. The don't usually write bad reviews unless I have to but the hotel was sub standard and I found the staff rude and unfriendly. I wish I had researched the hotel more before booking as I can now see the many have had a similar experience. It's not hard to be nice, friendly and provide a good service but they failed. The photos also do not live up to the experience when you get to the hotel. Koh lak is a nice place but the waters isn't. They must do better and I will not be returning nor will I recommend to anyone to go here!

Would be a great family location

This resort would be absolutely ideal for families with young children. The number of pools and access from the water access apartments is ideal. The rooms are just starting to show their age a little and some areas could benefit from a deep clean and recondition, but overall this place was great and the staff were brilliant.

Great hotel

This is a lovely hotel with pools everywhere! It's definitely worth paying extra to get a room on ground level with direct pool access.We were there in off season and they were reasonable value, they look pretty expensive in high season though. Unfortunately the main pool was empty when we were there as they were renovating the pool and surrounding area which ruined the experience somewhat. We would ould given 5 stars if the pool was full of water 😀 The staff were very friendly, we appreciated an early check in, and the included breakfast was reasonable. There are loads of restaurants, bars, and massage places within 5 mins walk.

The hotel was noisy, music around pool, loud music at night, building works despite their assurance this would not be the case. The hotel overall is pretty soulless
