Tradewinds by Lawana

Did not like the stray animals with fleas sitting underneath the hotel's sun lounges. From around 7pm onwards there was very loud music from a nearby venue - could not sleep without earplugs. Hotel airport shuttle is excessively priced. Spacious room. Lovely grounds. Good breakfast - egg station, salad, fruit and yoghurt, cereal, toast and juices/coffee/tea. Great location - ON the beach on one side and access to shops and restaurants on the other.

Have been visiting this resort for many years and for me its the perfect green Oasis on the edge of the hustle and bustle of Chaweng. Two points for improvement: (1) The breakfast buffet is very basis and boring. Please add some Thai options and a more interesting fruit platter. And (2) please keep the bar open to at least after the sun has set. To close the bar at 6PM sharp (effectively no more service from 17:45) is just spoiling the fun...
