The location is great , the beach is nice and within walking distance of the best part of Chaweng Beach . It’s exceptionally clean , the staff is great ! I will stay here again !

Jerry United States of America

Clean, all amenities that you would expect from a 4 star, efficient check in, nice comfortable room, beautiful clean pools, drying rack. Chairs on balcony. We didn’t eat at restaurant as we were only there one night but meals we saw being delivered to other guests around pool looked great.

The property was extremely well kept and every employee there was nice, greeted me with a smile and was very helpful in answering any questions

Michael Thailand

Room is clean. Staff is nice. Value for money. Resort is next to the beach.

First of all the location is great, right on the beach and in the middle of Chaweng. Good music all the time, gives an excellent party vibe. Food is great, you can get pretty much anything. There are plenty of staff members(extremely polite and joy-full) all the time, so you won't have to wait long for any order. Our room and bathroom were a good size and with good facilities. The bed was extremely big and comfortable. Overall all the facilities were in good shape and very clean. The night party on the beach is lovely, dancing in the sand and watching a fire show is a must do. There is a currency exchange right near reception 1 with one of the best exchange rates in Chaweng, so you don't have to go far when the money runs out. I definitely recommend Ark Bar and this is why they are getting my first 10 on Booking.

Sivakumar Hong Kong

Excellent location everything you need is walking distance, very nice & helpful staff ,clean rooms ,Nice food with sea view ,the best night life at Ark Bar beach club .

Ahmed Bahrain

Everything was great minus the noise sometimes but it’s the hottest place in town so obviously it gets noisy during parties. But if you’re looking for the place to party and have a smashing time without having to stumble more than a few feet to you room than this is your place. Haha. Good times and perfect stay here!
