If I had one word for the appraisal it would be AWFUL. We did not
have a great expectation, because it was quite low priced, but that
hotel is a nightmare. Primary we booked a gardenview room, which was
dirty, mildewed and even the towels where holey. Then we moved to
a bungalow which was nicer but a bad value for your money as well
(for a lower price we had a really nice accomodation in another hotel
in the past!) . Everybody has only one towel and it was not possible
to get a small second one for my face (not possible was the explanation
...). Probably because the guests use the room-towels for the beach,
because the hotel does not provide beach towels (by the way the 1st
hotel in asia, which does not have that service...). Beach is dirty
and the staff is not even willing to put away bottles, plasticbags
etc.). Further there are not enough sunbeds (no umbrellas, but no
need, because there is a big tree for shade). Everything is difficult
in that hotel, if you would like to have anything from the depositbox,
you have to wait. If you need toiletpaper, because the maid did not
made their job, you have to wait. If you ask at the reception to make
a reservation in a restaurant, you have to pay for. FAZIT: never again!!! |

The hotel was so-so only but staff friendly & helpful, food fresh
& cheap. Nice swimming pool, good location! We couldn’t get the seaview
room nor hut hence stayed in a garden view room. Verdict : NOT fantastic
[probably a Sea View room or hut might be better choice, there was
no telephone in the room, therefore no room service, poor shower].

On a positive note, the owners have clearly invested in the swimming
pool, which is very nicely done and looks attractive in the photos
on the website. It is a shame that the same cannot be said of the
hotel rooms which are very tired indeed. We stayed upstairs with (so
called) Garden View. The garden was a patch of neighbouring wasteland
that looks set for development. The decor was non-existent and funiture
especially drab and cheap. The shower room, though functional, was
basic to say the least. The restaurant area is sparse and featureless
and did not seem to attract any evening diners. The location is ok,
but overall, The Palm Island needs to be at least 25% cheaper to represent
fair value for money. |

first of all. there was a confusion when we first check in. sawadee
did not fax them our payment even though sawadee already charged my
credit card. the hotel staffs treated us with attitudes. they said
it s not their responsibility to call sawadee and confirm these things
but ours. luckly, about an hour later, everything is straighten out.
secondly, the seaview rooms in this hotel are misleading. the rooms
are facing the sea, but you cannot see the sea. the view is blocked
by the garden and the pool. therefore, seaview is pretty much the
same as gardenview. other than that, this hotel is alright. the rooms
are a little old. but at least you are not surrounded by little flies
when you are eating in the bar or hanging around the pool |

The Rooms were clean and big. The garden is very well kept and the
pool is nice. The Beach was a bit disapointing. When it s low tide
you can t swim in front of the Hotel. We had to walk down to the end
of Chaweng every time we wantet to go swimming. Because it was always
low tide in the daytime. The Hotel staff was not helpful and friendly
at all. I would not stay here again. |

The hotel was lovely. We stayed in the main hotel block on the upper
floor and found both the rooms and the pool extremely clean and bright.
Being upstairs and away from the pool and beach also meant the rooms
were very peaceful. The hotel is at the quieter end of Chaweng beach
but was all the better for it. Our only slight criticism would be
of the bar and restaurant which could perhaps do with a bit of updating.
However, they were perfectly adequate for breakfast and basic thai
food. All in all, we had a fab holiday and were extremely happy with
the hotel. |

The room was as to be expected though the furniture was a bit damaged
and the room could use a fresh coat of paint all in all it provided
a good quiet location on the beach close to the main section of chewang
but far enough away to be quiet and comfortable, breakfest was inexpensive
and simple, the swiming pools were in good shape, the ocean is shallow
about avg 3 ft deep up to 1000 ft out in the area of the hotel which
was unusual, the beach was clean and uncrowded and the staff was helpfull,
all in all It was a nice place to stay and I would consider staying
their again. |
