I really enjoyed this resort! It was family orientated with enough space so you didn´t hear the other children while in your room. You could change pools for a quieter area if you wanted. It was just a short stroll to the beach to burn of any unwanted calories. they also have a van that drops you down there for free each morning. The food was fantastic, just love the Thai cooking. There are many things to do in Kata,or you can travel to the more populated areas via tuk tuks. they are also quite cheap to use. The shopping is good though you have to stick to your guns when bartering. If you want to learn to cook, then go to Phuket cookery it is a fantastic day with great food, that you cooked. Fantasy is a great place to visit, though can cost!

Overall this is a good place to stay. Our television was broken for the first day plus. They don´t replenish the soaps after the first day. The food was good, the service was good, the pools were a welcome respite from the heat. It was about 15 mins walk to the beach but very near many convenient shops and restaurants. We would come back.

Good place and good location, it would be good if you made a remark that it is a bit lively in the daytime due to the fact that many families with small kids stay there

Excellent resort but very isolating experience for singles by Ms O´Donovan from Ireland (February 4, 2008)

Loved the location, the apartment etc. However, my apartment was made up no earlier than 4pm each day which was a pain when I returned from the beach to find no fresh towels etc. Also, staff never made conversation with me at all, other than to smile and say hello´.` A complete contrast to Club Med across the road which is very inclusive of singles.
