Hotels in Phla with Swimming Pools

Nice hotel, mainly for locals. I was here for one night to quickly get to the airport in the morning. Beautiful view from the window, good restaurant, excellent breakfast.

We booked this last minute based on its high reviews for the location. Overall it’s well passed its best and in dire need of updating. The room was pretty dirty and showed little sign of having been cleaned or updated in a long while. The bathroom fittings were all rusty and the grouting mouldy and in a terrible state of repair. The large fridge was empty and dirty. The kettle was full of dead ants and the patio furniture looked like it was made from old pallets. The ashtray was dirty, we don’t smoke. The railings are dangerously low and a child could easily slip through, or something could be kicked or dropped off the balcony directly onto diners on the pool deck area. There were dirty stains on the bedding too. We ate at the bar restaurant and service was painfully slow, my wife’s food had a hair in the sauce and the staff couldn’t be alerted so I had to tale back myself. The bar is heavily patronised by typical longterm expats and this seems to be the mainstay of the establishment. The decking around the pool is poorly repaired and could easily injure anyone not wearing footwear. Lastly, obviously not the hotel’s fault but the beach was dirty and littered with plastic and fishing debris.
