The room I stayed in was OK, but I had to upgrade for an extra 200THB per night to get a decent room. The first room I was shown to had ants everywhere, gaps in the floor boards and under the door and the bathroom was almost larger than the bedroom. I ended up in an upgraded room that was comfortable and didn't have any ants! Klong Nin Beach is really nice, there are lots of restaurants and bars along the beach and some nice spots for swimming, but a lot of the beach is really rocky and you can't tell unless the tide is out. So, I do recommend being careful when entering the water or scouting the beach during low tide to find a safe, rock-free spot. Also, the resort is a bit farther down the beach from the restaurants and bars, so be prepared with a flashlight when you go out for dinner. It gets dark really fast and there's no lights on the beach in front of the resort.

The property looks much nicer in the website pictures than it actually is. The beach is close and looks beautiful and inviting when the tide is in, but when the tide is out, you can see that it's actually very rocky. The resort is actually not right on the beach, you have to walk though a kind of courtyard to get to it. Outside, around the rooms, it smells strongly of sewage and trash. The neighbour frequently burns garbage and the wind blows it directly into the rooms closest to his property (mine was one of them). My room was not cleaned once during my five night stay, no clean towels were delivered and I had to buy my own bottled water from the 7/11. There are absolutely no amenities at this "resort": no pool, no restaurant or breakfast service, literally nothing but the rooms. Additionally, my first impression was not a good one, as they refused to let me pay by credit card, despite the website saying they accept Visa and Mastercard. They originally told me to go to the 7/11 to get cash, but when I complained about the room and was upgraded (for additional 200THB per night), they agreed to let me pay by credit card, but charged me an additional 3% on top of my room rates. I ended up having a comfortable stay, but I don't recommend the standard rooms and I would also warn you not to have a very high expectation. The property looks beautiful on the website, but it's a very small "resort" and it's very basic and nothing like the pictures.

The beach was very close by

They never cleaned the room before we asked for..after 3 nights!!! Same towels, same dirty coffee cups, no maid service

The location is not bad. Next to restaurants and shops. But with a scooter it is easy to get around and stay at a nicer place.

The room was a lot worse than on the pictures. So was the property. The bathroom was disgusting with shower aimed directy at the toilet bowl such that it always gets wet when you take a shower. No curtain or door to separate. It smelled like sewage on the property. The mattress was hard as a rock. So were the pillows. Couldn't speak to front desk people. Zero English. Stay away!
