Haad San Chao Beach

Highly recommend the Suite (Holiday Sea View)-the view is impeccable. Lots of stairs though, but thankfully staff carries your bags to and from the room. It’s a little farther from the shopping/nightlife, but this makes for a quiet escape.

The hotel is beautiful. The staff is awesome. The facilities and location are great. I would highly recommend it. The one thing to think about is getting off the property for lunch and dinner. The food available in the restaurants for lunch and for dinner, while tasty, is much higher in price without being better than you can get from any number of restaurants within 30 minutes. It was good, but I would get off campus for more meals if I come back. Everything else was completely top not.

Location is a bit walk from Chaweng beach happening areas. But this brings some well deserved quiet as well. The hotel itself is perfectly arranged - everything is in close proximity. Walking from the sea to bar area is a bit walk up the stairs but frankly not an issue. Rooms were practical and well furnished.
