Lovely resort very affordable and with amazing food and beach.

Pros:
-live reef access off the beach of the hotel
-big swimming pools with lots of sunbeds
-happy hours for drinks in 3 different bars across hotel
- room service has the same prices as the resort restaurants so very convenient if you're not in the mood to go out to eat
-food is delicious, best food I had in a resort this size. Even better than the restaurants down in Patong
-staff service is excellent: Natacha from reception, Tooey from rooms cleaning
-butterfly sanctuary has loads of butterflies to see
-Entertaintment daily keeps you engaged and never gets boring, the singers we saw on Monday 27th at the Beach Grill buffet were very good!
- Spa massages were super relaxing and the girls very professional

Cons:
- drinks are very expensive, about 325 thai baht for a cocktail or a glass of prosecco
- not enough staff around the pool during happy hour, they all tend to gather at the bar
- a funny sewage smell sometimes in the evenings
- shuttle bus is too busy and needs additional times added on schedule + it should always be complimentary
- SPA prices are actually ridiculous, for a massage its almost 10 times more than what you pay down in Patong

Overall we would totally consider coming back to this resort :)
