Understated quality stay

This resort has so many good qualities about it: quiet, well maintained and friendly staff. The place is only 9 months old so the facilities are brand new. We stayed in the Grand Suite with 2 rooms (1 king bed and another with a queen bed and a single bed). There are two large bathrooms and a jacuzzi tub in the master bedroom. There is also a living and dining space. More than enough space for a family of 2 adults and 3 children.
There are three pools: Beach Pool, Jungle Pool and Fun pool. Personally liked the Jungle pool as it is quieter and shadier but you have to swim past the rooms that have pool access. If you want to have privacy, I would say do not book those rooms. I liked how the Jungle Pool had lounge nooks and lounge deck chairs in the pool. The Beach pool has a view of a small but rocky beach and the road that separates the hotel and the beach. The glass wall is a novelty for those who like infinity pools.
The beach is not much in front of the hotel. But the hotel has frequent shuttle to Jungceylon mall and the Bangla police station which is in front of the Patong main outdoor market street. You can visit the busy Patong beach or do your shopping there.
I liked the fact that the hotel is generally quiet except for some loud tourists in the lobby. Also the restaurant had very good and value-for-money Thai set meals for dinner.
The gym was a good size with ample equipments for guests. They have free Muay Thai lesson for 30 mins on Fridays. They also had daily sport activities.
The kids’ room had some games and activities with a little wading pool outside for toddlers. There was also a TV that showed kid-friendly videos. However, the books and videos were more suited for younger kids. My 8 year old was still happy playing broad games there.
The spa was really beautiful and offered a good deal for 60 min body message with 15 min foot message. It is unfortunate that they close at 8pm (last appointment at 7pm). It would be good to extend the hour
