The hotel had spacious rooms with a large private outdoor area, perfect for families, though room servicing was late in the day. The location was ideal, just a short walk from the pristine Surin Beach. Dining was nice but with slow food service at times. The hotel facilities offered a clean and less crowded experience.

The hotel rooms were pretty basic but clean and comfortable, fitting our family of 5 perfectly. The 24-hour hotel cleaners were visible right outside the room. The service was extremely friendly, especially with Milo going out of their way to ensure our comfort. The location, quieter and family-friendly compared to Patong, offered free table tennis and pool table. The dining experience excelled, with a good variety of bakery, eggs, fruits, sushi, and amazing juices.

The hotel offers spacious rooms that are decently sized and come with daily refreshments, just a 5-minute walk from the beach. While the rooms are clean and fairly spacious, they could use some refurbishing. The service was attentive, especially towards families, though some aspects were neglected. The location is excellent, near Surin beach, but there were disappointments with the loungers being reserved early in the morning. The facilities offered are top-notch but show signs of wear and tear.

The hotel is a perfect choice for families, with rooms decorated with kids cartoons and bunk beds, including 120 cm wide beds for a comfortable stay. The air conditioning running all day adds a touch of luxury, although not the most eco-friendly choice. The beach is just a 5-minute walk away, making it convenient for seaside relaxation.

The hotel is located in a serene setting, just a few yards away from the clean sea, with adult and kid's zones side by side.

I arrived at the resort at 12 pm, way before the check-in time of 2 pm, and was delighted to find my room with a lovely pool view. The room was clean and spacious, offering a nice view overlooking the pool. The entertainment team organized activities like quizzes, bingo, family quests, and glow-in-the-dark parties, keeping everyone entertained. The staff was working hard and trying to make our stay memorable, especially in the kids' world. The location is perfect for families to unwind after sightseeing, with the added convenience of being near Novotel Surin. Despite a few overcrowded beaches nearby, the atmosphere was relaxing. Even through rush hour at the breakfast buffet, dining was of excellent quality with plenty of kid-friendly options. The facilities were top-notch, with everything from room service to housekeeping exceeding expectations.

The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms, though a bit delayed in preparation, were eventually delivered as promised, being more spacious than most ground floor rooms, yet a bit noisy due to the air conditioning. The service was a mix of helpfulness and occasional chaos. The location, despite being isolated and far from the city, offered a lovely ambiance. The dining experience varied, from a disorganized setup to a vast array of food choices. Overall, the facilities were a bit hit or miss.
