We vacationed in Thailand in November 2009. I’ll write about the hotel right away, since you are reading this review, probably just for choosing a place to live in Thailand.
I stayed at this hotel in July 2007 and loved it! I would love to spend my next vacation there! The hotel fully justifies its 3 *. It is located on a small hill. But the beach is actually within easy reach - cross the road and go down the hill.
