We were in a deluxe pool view room which was lovely, great size, beds were so comfortable. I’d seen photos before arriving and decided to bring our own hangers to hang more clothes as there wasn’t a huge amount of wardrobe space for all 4 of us. Housekeeping kept the rooms tidy and clean everyday and replenished bottled water. I did think the area would have had a bit more around but there were enough little shops, convenience stores and restaurants within walking distance. Food in the hotel restaurant was mostly great, some dishes were small portions but most that we tried were very tasty. Breakfast had a lot to choose from, all sorts of dishes and options. Was a shame the beach front restaurant was under construction we didn’t realise this before arriving but we could still still by the beach for dinner and drinks. Pool is big and we didn’t usually struggle to get a sun bed. The spa pool was under construction too which we didn’t realise but this didn’t really make much difference to our stay as we could still use the main pool and kids pool. Pool bar staff were brilliant, especially Wut, Fern and Guy, they looked after us really well. Happy hour cocktails from 4-6 was fun, and food at the pool bar was tasty too.

The music on repeat at the pool bar was a bit tedious 😄 the same few songs, occasionally it changed but one is still stuck in my head! Sometimes meals at dinner would come at separate times and some of us had nearly finished by the time the rest arrived, but this wasn’t every occasion.

Amazing choice of breakfast to suit most nationalities. More than enough. Lovely big swimming pools, 5 main pools in the centre and lots of pools around the ground floor rooms. Children's pool toys and inflatables. Play areas for younger children. Music during the evening by a bar. The rear of the resort is right on the beach where there are many beach cafes and bars. The area in this part of BangTao isn't great, some clothes shops a few bars and several massage joints. Numerous massage beds on the beach. Arinara do a twice weekly , all you can eat buffet for 750 baht , which is £19 pp. Starters, great choice of mains and some sweet choices. Arinara is a great family resort with a mix of British, German, Australian and Russian + more clientele. Everyone seemed respectful of another.Staff are amazing, rooms serviced every day, plenty of staff at meal times. There are a few franchise businesses on site where you pay separately for meals and drinks. Walk out back of hotel turn left on beach, there are restaurants and sunbeds (100 baht), first one is great food. Staff are so friendly.

Nothing much really, some of the pillows were too deep, you can get lower ones if you ask. Nothing for teenagers to do. Biggest gripe is the noise from doors, some guests really love to bang a door and at 6.30 am and after midnight it's unwelcome. Some guests get up early and put their towels on sunbeds to claim them at 7am, then you don't see them til 2pm. Meanwhile others can't use them. So don't be a door banging sunbed grabber. None of this is the hotels fault.

We booked a pool acces room, which was huge. The room is really spacious, with two king size beds, a sofa bed, and big wardrobes. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Wide selection of local and international food at breakfast. Direct access to beach and many nice beachfront restaurants. There are many shops and restaurants nerby. Free parking. Very good hotel app.

The bathroom is a bit too small compared to the room size. The pool in front of the room is nice but nothing special. The big pool needs a little renovation (missing tiles, broken parts). A/C is too much in the restaurant, but you can chose to sit outside. The playground is dangerous and not well maintained. Metallic parts are rusty and sharp. Hotel restaurants are overpriced (as usual).

Staff, location and price were great 👍. Restaurant food fantastic, but drinks a little pricey outside of happy hour. Little girl loved the little playarra and kids club staff were amazing with her.

The pool needed work, not as clean as it should be, with algae in the overflow drains with slide and tiles on pool walls, not in the best condition.

Fabulous breakfast. Friendly staff. Good facilities Loved our room very spacious.

Unfortunately the pool was being renovated when we arrived. There was still another pool to use. But it needed doing as there were broken tiles. Will be great once all completed. Was told the laundry was 50bht a bag special offer on. Turns out it was 50 just to buy the Laundry bag. It ended up over 1400bht. Mix up of language and communication. 🤣 I don't think they should be charging for a bag with such high rates to wash.

Great pool, great beach. Tasty restaurant & Starbucks at the beach. Great facilities for kids! Kids club, playground, pools. Our 5 and 2 year old had an amazing time.

The water of the main swimming pool was really hot. We didn’t like to swim in it, because it didn’t cool us down.

Has lots of things to do. We did a sort of activities day organized by Yaya, he did a great job and taught us some Thai boxing. The swim up bar is neat. It's right next to Catch which is a superb restaurant, bar and club. There's a Starbucks!

The pool is literally (!) falling apart. The poor state was mentioned in other reviews but even so I was surprised to discover that one of the walls separating two parts of the pool had developed a giant leak, with water pouring through the concrete between the tiles. It looked dangerously like the concrete itself might crumble at any moment. You guys need to shut the resort for a while and do repairs on the pool! Also you have to pay 600 baht for sun beds at the beach even though it's the hotels private beach, and there are never enough anyway.

This place is fun, friendly, spacious, stunning beach area with amazing staff and great breakfast and our lovely home for the last 3 weeks!! perfect family holiday, we would definitely come again, both myself, wife and two children loved it! New years was off the clock!! best I’ve ever done from all their hard work. Staff working all the way through to make it spectacular for our family! Thankyou to all of you.

nothing to dislike!!! I could complain about a few tiny things like some others have, but then I’d realise how much I payed here! people complaining on these reviews need to pay treble and stay in 5 star resorts!

Location right on the beach was perfect and very chilled.

Beach club had minimum spend of c2-5000 baht which was a waste for me as was often empty. You should be allowed just to order a drink here

Location fab. Breakfast very good. Pool lovely

Having to complete everything on the app was hopeless especially as the internet kept coming & going. Face to face or a hotel brochure would be a great (if old fashioned) way to improve the srevice.
