The shower floor is polished marble. It is nearly impossible to move without slipping and falling. The wood around the bed is a hazard. Banging one’s shins is nearly guaranteed. The bath towels are kept near the television because there are no towel bars in the bathroom. A creepy man will follow you around and continuously smile for no reason. The glassware in the kitchen smells like mold. I could go on and on….

Our overall stay was not bad. The room was spacious, clean and had all the things required. Staff was available immediately when we messaged them. Areas around the hotel do need some renovations but if you’re there just for the room it’s not bad at all. Unfortunately, breakfast was not great. I would save the money not get breakfast included and just go out to eat at one of the many great restaurants. There’s a coffee shop called Shade at walking distance. The beach is not for swimming very shallow and rocky. If you rent a car pay attention to make the correct turn because both Apple Maps and Google Maps will make you turn too early. The actual turn can be hard to see.

The good: amazing room. Very spacious and the bed was super comfy. Very clean although the AC leaked a little. Great shower and good size bathroom. Kitchenette was very clean and had good appliances etc. Location is OK as long as you don't mind a walk down the beach to the main Lamai Beach strip. On a scooter it would only be about 5 mins to the main shopping strip with all the bars, restaurants etc. Lovely pool and plenty of seating/days beds etc. Pool bar shut :-(
The bad - it's obvious that this resort has fallen on hard times, because of Covid and is trying to claw it's way back. The grounds are neglected and some areas are completely fenced off. The dining area is very small and we had breakfast included in our rate, however, the 'hot' dishes were cold as it seemed no one knew how to use the bainmaries. We did try to ask/inform the staff about this but they had such limited English, they didn't understand. Instead they came to ensure us that the hot water in our bathroom was working!! The drinks and meals were very expensive and we chose to eat out. There are so many places along the beach offering competitive prices for cocktails and drinks, Beach Republic is really pricing themselves too high.
The ugly - one whole part of the resort is fenced off and has been used as a dumping ground over time. It's a shame as it is unslightly. Daily special offers are a joke once they add tax and surcharges to the bill.

Sadly this resort is a shadow of its former self post covid.
I’ve been going there for around 12 years and it was always fabulous.
The website is EXTREMELY misleading and still has photos of it in its former glory. Do yourselves a favour and do some me research if your thinking about staying here. The new management are still charging top dollar for absolutely minimal return.
CONS
No beach club area- that is now derelict and forlorn looking.
The breakfast was very substandard: same food items day after day with little choice.
The beach in front is full of litter, the new management do not clear it daily.
The rooms- now are looking very tired and worn. No fruit on arrival as a welcome like they used to and they’ve taken away snacks and alcohol for purchase in the rooms also.
Honestly if you’ve stayed here before when it was pre covid and you have good memories of it then please do yourself a favour it and save yourself the disappointment and trauma of the state of it now.
There’s also tacky signs stuck on walls warning you not to bring food and drink by the pool or there is a 2000 baht fine. Hardly welcoming. Yet they do nott provide WI-FI by the food for you to order online and have it brought to you….
PROs- if you haven’t been before and are looking for spacious rooms then that’s a plus. They also still have nice private pool villas.
If they had have been honest on the website about the changes then this review would not have been necessary- it’s very sad!

Hi, DeborahThank you for sharing your thoughts. While I understand your frustrations, I believe it’s important to recognize that many resorts are facing ongoing challenges in the aftermath of COVID-19. Changes in management can lead to adjustments in operations, and it’s a learning curve for everyone involved.Regarding the condition of the beach and the breakfast options, I hope the management is aware of these issues and is actively working on improvements. Feedback like yours is crucial for them to make necessary changes.As for the website, many businesses are still updating their online presence to reflect current conditions, so are we. What we don’t currently offer, we have already removed to avoid misunderstanding with customers. But we understand that you are a loyal customer with us, so you may have expectations.While your experience reflects significant changes, new guests might find value in the spacious rooms and private pool villas that you mentioned. It’s always a good idea for potential visitors to consider both recent feedback and their own preferences when planning their stay. Thank you again for your input, and I hope future visits lead to a more positive experience!Have a great day.

Lovely hotel / villa by the beach
Posted 3 Aug 2024 on HotelsLovely hotel / villa by the beach. Location was great as it was not noisy. Stayed in a suite which was spacious, clean, comfy and very relaxing. Breakfast selection was very simple.
Housekeeper came into our room herself despite us putting the ‘do not disturb’ sign. And we were quite disturbed by her.
Tropical villa definitely needs maintenance and cleaning as there were lots of stains.
Pool by the beach was quiet. There are few small cabana to lie in. Nice place to chill and relax.
Overall was a pleasant stay. And thank you to the lady (sorry didn’t get name) who assisted us for room change - definitely made our stay much more comfy.

Both rooms booked were amazing, location not so g8
Posted 20 Jul 2024 on HotelsWe booked a private villa with a pool and a suite for our daughter. didn't really need a suite as it was huge!!! and she didnt really use the facilities as she was at ours all the time. The pool and courtyard was fabulous, only complaint was that the pool was not refreshing as it was like a sauna, so better to use in the evening,when the temperatures are slightly better. The courtyard is completely private. Breakfast was lovely. Can order cocktails to your room, using the app. Staff not overly helpful, which was a shame. Not a huge choice of restaurants within walking distance though. Would definitely stay again
