Summer Luxury Beach Resort and Spa

Summer Luxury Beach Resort is a strange place. It features a mid-century Americana Motel design but doesn’t quite pull it off. The rooms are huge and spotlessly clean, all featuring big balconies or terraces. Unfortunately the pool isn’t very pleasant and during our stay was overrun with very noisy children - this is more of a family hotel than a chilled adult place. The food in the restaurant is ok for lunch and dinner, but really bad at breakfast. There are no covers on the food, meaning lots of flies all over everything, everywhere else in Thailand seems to have plastic covers, why not here? Another design flaw is the hotels position on the seafront. There is no beach at this point, just a rocky point but you can walk to the beach very easily. I was amazed that the architect didn’t make more of the seafront position by adding a pool or at lease giving more rooms a sea view! Anyway, we escaped the din of the pool by walking 5 minutes down the beach which has a collection of chilled out bungalow operations. It’s a nice beach though very shallow and not great for swimming. Food was better at the backpacker bungalow than the hotel.
