"PRO
Hotel location walking distance to beach and close to popular dining places & cafes. Helpful & Attentive staff.
CONS
This is an aging hotel and the maintenance can`t catch up as the years progresses. Our first night was terrible when we found out that the bed is full of bed bugs. The next morning they apologised for the issue and we were transferred to a new room. There always old marks & old stains on the bedsheet, blankets, toilets, walls but might be acceptable for some. No phone in the room, you have to call using your own phone if you want to reach the front counter. Breakfast 2.5/5. Again cleanliness is the issue, bowls, plates, you will find some particles in them. And the food is just average and cold.
OVERALL : Just ok, below my expectation.
WILL I RETURN? : Maybe no"

"Here’s an updated version of your review:
---
This hotel offers a strategic location near a 5-star hotel, but at a much more affordable price. I recommend choosing the sea-view room for the best experience. The room is conveniently located near both the pool and the beach. However, the sea-view option is limited to a king bed for two pax, though you can easily add an extra mattress or accommodate additional guests, making it a flexible option.
It's a hassle-free stay, especially for those traveling with parents—parking is easily accessible. The hotel is also very kid-friendly, making it a great choice for family trips. Overall, it's a comfortable, convenient stay with a stunning view. Highly recommend!"
"This was my second visit here, and this time I brought my parents along. However, this stay was less enjoyable. The main reason was that the swimming pool, which was exclusive to guests during my previous visit, was open to outside visitors this time. As a result, the pool was quite crowded, and it was hard to move freely when trying to swim. Other than that, everything else was perfectly fine."
"Pros:
- The hotel is clean
- The villa was surrounded by greenery, and surprisingly, there were no mosquitoes at night
- Each room has a dedicated parking spot (though there was some confusion upon arrival, we have to park at public parking first then after check in only move to the reserved parking. )
- Water park looks good
Cons:
- Facilities are very old
- Bed springs were noticeable and uncomfortable.
- Bathtub had visible cracks.
- Showerhead and towel bar were rusty.
- Beach area had overgrown grass.
- Breakfast staff were unfriendly.
- Food was average."
"The room got rat, the kids fall sleep so we dint ask to change room but come to catch the rat.
Thanks the team come to help us catch the rat. Even the room is sanitised but rat still there.
From the play pool to the beach very far, walking distance need 5min. So we prefer play at the pool as close at 6.45pm sharp.
Restaurant outside is nearer to the beach and easy to clean up also, so we continue beach play after dinner.
Overall the kids like the pool."
"first ever trip to cherating and decided to give this place a try despite mix reviews by experienced guest. here's my take:
we are 6 pax staying at the forest semi detached villa with private pool. the resort is indeed old already and need proper maintenance. insects are plenty in the jungle so repellent is a must to bring. hotel cleanliness is not up to my expectation - for the price we paid for this 3d2n trip. the private pool is nice, but needs a proper cleaning at the pool water. staff attitude is great. hotel breakfast is slightly above average as well, considering the location at cherating where food options are rather limited dining out."
"Room was clean but could still be cleaner. Breakfast for a small chalet type hotel was good. Hotel has no restaurant, pool, bar etc, so if you want a beachfront hotel simple simple plain holiday, it's actually quite good. But the sofa in the room sinks to the floor so we have to ask for 4 extra pillows to sit on. They should throw the sofa away as junk, quite frankly. The beach was quiet and nice. Staff service was good."
"Very nice resort with excellent service. The staff are very helpful. We need to take buggy from either car park or lobby to go to the villa and the waiting time was super fast in fact no need to wait the moment u enter security area and park yr car the buggy is there waiting. Food for dinner was nice. Breakfast spread was OK. Overall very happy with my stay . Highly recommended for families or couples t9 stay in this villa when in cherating is exclusive ."
