"Our top floor ocean view studio had huge but unusable balcony / sitting area but much too hot to sit out there due to overhead roof and confining walls, more like a tunnel than a balcony. Some sort of fan desperately needed. Hotel is beautiful. Staff wonderful, especially Big, probably not his real name but BIG is the name on his badge. A real assett to this hotel.
Not a lot to do in the area, best and only local restaurant is Pran's Corner. Good value, good food, friendly staff, live music Friday - Sunday.
Five 7elevens in the area but bicycle or taxi needed. Just one 7eleven within 'walking distance' if you have a couple of hours to spare and wear lots of sun cream. Hotel restaurantbis expensive plus 10% service and 7% tax, we tried it twice during ourcstay and dissapointed each time. Avoid the lasagne, had to teturn it to be reheated but still very low quality, poor value for money. Sheraton hotel next door, has La Luna Pran restaurant, similar prices but far better quality food.
Overall we liked this hotel, the breakfasts were terrific. The grounds and facilities spectacular. Bicycle hire 50tbt per hour, ideal for a quick 7eleven shopping trip."
