Originally, I planned to stay for 4 nights. I ended up staying 11 and still found it difficult to leave after that...
This testifies how nice of a time I had.
Lets list the plus sides of this hotel:
- Location is perfect, 3 mins walk from the beach. (It's actually right next to places like the Twinpalm, Chava and DoubleTree resort. These go for about 5 times the rate of Surin Sweet)
- All amenities one could need; nice pool, wifi, international tv channels, hairdryer, thee and coffee making facilities, fridge, nice bar, good breakfast, etc
- Super nice staff
- And all this at a very reasonable price
The down sides:
- It's old, and especially from the outside, this shows. Didn't bother me though.
- Wifi in the room was less then reliable. Lobby/Pool area worked perfect though.
- I stayed in a superior room, which has a view. Cheaper rooms look out on a wall.
- No elevator. So if you have trouble climbing stairs, ask for a room on the lower floor.
The staff is really nice, some nights after hours they go to a bar nearby to shoot some pool, they invite guests to come along too. A nice way to get to know each other and have fun.
All in all I would definately recommend this place. It's one of the few affordable places in Surin Beach. I would love to stay again sometime.
Thanks guys!
