The beach and setting
The resort fronts Bangrak Beach directly and has its own private beach area. This part of Samui's north coast is calmer in character than the main Chaweng strip, and the beachfront position means sand is immediately accessible from the property.
Room style and size
Rooms run between 35 and 36 square metres. Garden views are the outlook in both categories, and the Superior Twin adds a terrace. Bathrobes appear in the Twin; the Superior Twin has a shower and private bathroom.
