+: This is a difficult hotel to rate as some aspects can be viewed both positively and negatively depending on your point of view. For example, it is located at the bottom of a very long narrow pot-holed track, off a dual carriage way, meaning that it isn't somewhere from which you can comfortably reach by foot. That said, as it is in the middle of nowhere, it is really quiet and serene (hence the name) and the only noise you hear is from the frogs in the lake rather than being kept awake by loud tourists and road traffic as it often the case in Patong. There is a decent size pool and the views over the lake are lovely so if you are looking for somewhere to relax and unwind, this would be a great choice.
-: When we arrived there was no restaurant as it was one of those buildings on wooden stilts and had recently collapsed into the lake! I imagine it would have been a lovely place to eat breakfast before that however. The rooms are clean, spacious, well equipped (with coffee making facilities and a fridge) although they are a little old and tired. That said, the shower pressure was excellent and the beds are really comfortable.
