Coming from Bangkok and Koh Samui it was a bit of a change at Graceland. The front desk staff were great and we had a beautiful welcome arrangement left for us for our honeymoon. I'd say this place is better suited to families than couples. You will want to time your breakfast as it got incredibly busy (and noisy) and the food selection wasn't great. Also try to avoid the main pool where the kids play, the scent of pee was pretty strong there. There is another pool down one of the sides of the hotel which has a pool bar so it is probably much better (didn't get a chance to use it). We got rained in while having some drinks at the hotel bar and it resulted in having some really, really good pizza. If you have had your fill of Thai food and want a quick taste of something else I can recommend it. It is well located, away from the nightlife so you won't be kept up by the noise, but close enough that you can walk to it. It is also right over the road from the beach which is nice. It's a little expensive for what you get but it was the best deal for a place we knew we wouldnt be bothered by outside noise.
