Chilled-out hotel with what is effectively a private beach. It's really quiet, but positioned for easy access to the party spots of Chaweng and Lamai. I had a room with a balcony overlooking the beach which was really nice. The roooms have aged a bit since the photos, but are fine. The restaurant, and bar, which are right on the beach, are excellent. Amazingly for Thailand the wine is seriously good - expensive, but worth it. I would say that the biggest asset is the personnel who are exemplary.
