The hype

Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Genuine pet-friendly policy (pets allowed in rooms and gardens)
- Two distinct vibes: Beachfront action (Ocean Wing) vs. secluded garden oasis (Garden Wing)
- Excellent breakfast spread that rotates locations to keep things fresh
Hurtig oversigt: A tale of two resorts: a newer, chic Garden Wing that requires a shuttle to the sea, and an older Ocean Wing that's right on the sand but showing its age.
Anmeldt af @alikainwanderlust: I found the most aesthetic spot in Rayong! The pool is incredible for photos, and the Deluxe Villa was super cozy. We loved watching the sunset from Ecume restaurant, and the fact that it's pet-friendly is a huge game changer for us. Highly recommend for a chill escape.

Reality check
The 'Ocean View' rooms in the Garden Wing are a bit of a stretch—you're looking over a lot of land to see the sea.
- You are traveling with a dog (very welcoming staff)
- You prefer a massive pool and modern room design (Garden Wing)
- You want a quiet, local Thai beach vibe rather than a party scene
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily and thorough; staff are praised for being attentive.
- Bathroom hygiene: Spotless grout and glass, though the open-plan sink design is polarizing.
- Maintenance: Garden Wing is pristine; Ocean Wing shows wear (chipped pool tiles, worn paint).
- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, though bathrobes are sometimes on request only.
- Odors & scents: Fresh, spa-like scent in the lobby; no mustiness reported even in older rooms.
