This hotel is located at the Chewang beach and is surrounded by restaurants as well as different kinds of shops. It is only around 20 minutes walk to the Central Festival shopping arcade and we did not need to take taxi for our entire stay. The beach is okay and it is to my surprise that we can play stand-up paddling there. It is not really good for swimming though as the water is not clear. Had dinner at the Dara Serene Restaurant on the beach and it was nice! To be honest, the food is just so-so but the environment compensated everything. One thing that I was upset about is the construction site just next to my room. It was really noisy and disturbing. The breakfast is okay. Not many varieties but it is fine. They even provided detox juice at the breakfast! Unsure if it works though...
I like the fact that there are convenience stores everywhere in the area. You can even buy some small souvenirs there which is really nice! Shopping on the street is a challenge as they don't list out the price and you have to bargain a lot! I would rather buy in proper shops to avoid all the bargaining which is really annoying.
Seafood is nice and the fresh coconut is great! We had one a day and I still miss it.
