This used to be a luxurious place.
My feelings are very mixed...
The villas are cozy and very spacious (large bathroom, bathtub, shower, large bedroom) with a veranda. They have everything you need: wardrobes, a TV (small and old), dishes, cutlery (except for knives). The induction cooktop or pan for it is terrible; you can't fry anything without a ton of oil. The mattress is comfortably firm. Everything is a bit... old. Housekeeping is by request.
The grounds are large and well-maintained, but mostly empty, primarily just lawn.
There's a large private beach (clean, no rocks, but the sea is shallow if there's no high tide), but you can only access it by walking to the edge of the hotel property or by going down a dilapidated staircase.
There are enough sun loungers, but some are plastic with wobbly legs.
The property is fenced, but wild dogs (a pack of 5-10 lives nearby) run in. Luckily, they don't attack; you could even say they're friendly...
There are 3-4 restaurants within walking distance. At low tide, you can wade (knee-deep) to the main Klong Prao beach, and it's all yours. At the very beginning, there are about 3-4 more restaurants/cafes.
I'm writing so much about restaurants because there's nowhere else to eat :) It's a 20-30 minute walk to the main street. Sometimes monkeys come out onto the road. It's generally walkable, but it's completely unclear why there's no hotel shuttle...
A very friendly and patient lady at the reception helped me rent a scooter (300 per day, 250 for 3 or more). The scooter was delivered right to the reception (and returned there too). You can't rent a car at the hotel.
We actually had a very good rest. The main drawback is that you can't get by without transportation (unless you want to hit your 10,000 steps daily).
