PPeter DavidWe took a courtyard view room. It had a spacious balcony and drying area, but you do look out onto other balconies, so if you value privacy go for poolside views. It was spotlessly clean, perhaps recently decorated, with a shower extension added to the bath tub. Breakfast is delicious with full Western and Thai choices. Stroll through the ground floor passing the swimming pools to reach the beach with its sunshaded seating area. Cha am beach has a nice atmosphere. Not overcrowded and beach food was fresh and tasty. Lots of Thai families staying at the hotel. We keep coming back for the pools and location.
