I was originally worried about this hotel and wanted to cancel, but the merchant wouldn't agree, so I reluctantly went. However, the result was surprisingly good! The hotel and the seafood restaurant seem to be part of the same establishment, owning a long stretch of beach. The atmosphere at night was excellent, with live music. The food at the seafood restaurant was delicious, and the staff and owner were incredibly kind. They patiently used a translator to help us order and explained things, even though our English wasn't great. The hotel had none of the negative issues I'd heard about (like smelly rooms or loud noise). There was no strange smell at all; in fact, it was quite pleasant, and the air conditioning was always on, making the whole stay very comfortable. The sea at Bang Saen is indeed a bit disappointing, with the water smelling a little. If you're going specifically to see the sea, it's really not worth it. The hotel provided us with complimentary welcome drinks, which were delicious and had a great vibe at the pool bar. However, I don't think it deserves a 5-star rating from Trip.com. I feel 5 stars are more for luxury hotels; this one is more suited for a 4-star rating. It's a relaxing, local, small resort.
