I really liked this hotel, the appartments were really big, well serviced, the staff were very helpful and always happy to help. The location is good, Surin beach had really strong waves so good for bodyboarding, bang tao beach was great for families as it's less wavy (but still good bodyboarding). It was easy to arrange taxis to nearby attractions such as waterfall, fantasea, patong, temples, mini golf, etc. There are small local restaurants within a couple of minutes walk, and a great Thai boxing place which offers private tuition.
