Nice quiet property with nice views and pool, but not convenient.
Pretty far from everything, need to rely on a shuttle to get to your room as the property sits on a steep hillside, the shuttle doesn't run if it's raining and need to walk up a tone of stairs

Lots of stairs, so not ideal for elderly or less mobile people.
Brilliant swimming pool. Great staff, very helpful.
This is the second time i have stayed and will stay here again.
Was a little disappointed that they only do the buffet breakfast during peak season.
Would be great if they could get the lift working again instead of using Golf carts.
Over all a very good resort that i will use again.
4 out of 5.

Awful location and service
Service was terrible. Rude manager. We requested a room with king bed but upon arrival she told us they do not have any rooms (the type we booked) with king bed and that hotels.com is to blame for this misinformation, when in reality they input the information.
Location is terrible, 15 minute down hill walk (then uphill back) to get anywhere. Beach far, and cart from hotel only every hour and must schedule pickip (which they were late for).

Ikke bra
Steinhard seng. Fikk ikke kingsize seng men to singel senger. Aircondition kan ikke være på når du ikke er på rommet. Så når du kommer hjem er det 40 grader inne på rommet. Det tar LANG tid å bli kaldt. Kunne trengt en oppussing. Bassenget var nice men helt syke priser i pool baren i forhold til andre hotell vi har vært på i omerådet. God frokost

Consiglio
Il resort è veramente bello, le camere sono ampie e pulite. La piscina è a sfioro e ti permette di vedere un bel tramonto.
Il personale è sempre stato molto disponile.
Lo consiglio vivamente per un soggiorno a Phuket.

Fin utsikt, excellent service och trevlig frukost
Trevligt bemötande med välkomstdrink vid incheckning. Bra frukost. Trevlig poolbar. Poolen är väl i behov av att renoveras men utsikten är oslagbar. Ligger högt upp, så en liten väg att gå från restaurang och strand. Men inga problem för en frisk person. Vi fick även låna strandhanddukar fast vi hade checkat ut.

Toller Ausblick und coole Lage oben am Hang
Die Aussicht ist prima, der Pool ideal für Sonnenuntergang Fotos und die Mitarbeiter sehr aufmerksam. Einzig das Bett war für meinen Geschmack etwas zu hart und die Kissen etwas zu dick.
Man sollte aber gut zu Fuß sein, da es viele Treppen gibt.

Avslappende og god service
Utrolig hyggelige og behjelpelige.
Fint bassengområde, god frokost og god service med skyss til og fra stranden.
10-15 min å gå til sentrum med alt tilgjengelig.
Behagelige og renslige rom.

Hyggelig og hjelpsom personale. God frokost. Godt brød.
Bassengområdet var for lite. Fikk ikke alltid plass og måtte gå derfra. Hotellet ligger i en fjellside og passer nok best for yngre gjester. Mange bakker og trapper. Hadde el- biler som kunne kjøre deg opp og ned.

Das erste Mal Thailand und unser erstes Hotel.
Damit haben wir alles richtig gemacht.
Die Anlage befindet sich etwas Abseits vom Trubel der Innenstadt auf einem Berg, der Strand und alle Restaurants sind jedoch fußläufig in ca. 10 Min zu erreichen. Man kann relativ sicher sagen, dass es sich um die schönste Anlage in Karon handelt.
Angefangen mit dem wahnsinnig netten und hilfsbereiten Personal, das mit der offenen und herzlichen Art jeden Wunsch erfüllt. Die Zimmer (allesamt) mit Meerblick sind sehr schön und ausreichend groß, wenn auch nicht die saubersten. Der Geruch vom Abfluss im Badezimmer lässt sich leider nicht ignorieren.
Das Restaurant ist groß und bietet zum Frühstück eine große Auswahl am Buffet mit Live Cooking.
Die ganze Anlage ist mit Pflanzen und Palmen übersät und wirkt wahnsinnig gepflegt. Das Highlight ist der Infinity Pool mit Ausblick über die komplette Stand und mit direkter Sicht auf den Big Buddha. Hier lässt sich einer der schönsten Sonnenuntergänge im Leben genießen. Gepaart mit einer Beachbar und guter Musik.
Täglich gibt es einen Hoteltransfer zum Strand, kostenlose Handtücher für den Strand und einen Fahrservice zum Zimmer (Anlage ist relativ steil am Berg).
Wir können das Hotel nur empfehlen und würden gerne wiederkommen.

Bonne expérience, l’hôtel et les équipements sont très agréables mais l’hôtel est ancien et cela provoque de légers désagréments dans la chambre ( bruit du climatiseur, manque de prise électrique, ventilation de la salle de bain)
L’hôtel mérite un 8,5/10

Ein absolut unvergesslicher Aufenthalt! Der atemberaubende Ausblick von unserem Zimmer aus war einfach spektakulär und hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Das Personal war äußerst zuvorkommend und freundlich, was unseren Aufenthalt noch angenehmer machte. Der Infinitypool war definitiv das Highlight unseres Urlaubs. Wir können dieses Hotel nur wärmstens empfehlen.
