The overall stay was very good, staff was very nice and happy to accommodate for us. However pool side bar was not open at all, which was a little disappointing as it was advertised when we booked. Also the water temperature for the shower was not the best, had to have quick showers. Overall stay would be 3.6/5!

Need improve for the hotel
The hotel is still under renovation. Below is few comment. 1) Worst is shower no hot water. Found water leaking to the electric water heater and the electrical cable at the facility room. Not sure this water leaking will cause electric shock problems to our guests. 2) No spa and no massage service in the hotel. 3) Advertise photo hotel is different from the actual hotel. Please don't advertise the hotel if the hotel is not ready condition.

Stay Away
The pictures are fake! Stay away from this place. No spa, no restaurant, no lobby, no reception, no pool. Only kids pools are available. Nobody speaks English. They have a bar with a very loud music opening late night and till morning. It's not possible to sleep till 4am even in the 2nd building which is pretty far from this bar.

The most friendly and accommodating staff I’ve encountered. Nothing was too much trouble. I had a desk, office chair and router installed in my room. Plus I got a bigger TV! Highly recommended.

The staff was unfriendly and did not want to help us when we asked them something. They lied about the gym. We could not use it there was mold EVERYWHERE! Furthermore this is definetely not a 5 Star hotel i dont know why expedia has listed it like that, if you google it it only has 3 stars. Which also is not correct if you would ask us.

Inget vidare
När vi besökte hotellet var det en byggarbetsplats mitt uppe i fullskalig renovering. Ingen resturang öppen. Provisorisk reception och ingen vidare hjälpsam personal. Det var inte vad vi förväntade oss av ett hotell med 5 stjärnor. Dock var rummen fina och rena. När renoveringen är klar tror jag det kan vara ett fint ställe att bo på.

Would come again
Areca is a great place to stay for those who want to do their own thing and explore by own vehicles. It is 15min drive away from patong which is perfect for those who don’t want to hear the music and hassle all the time. We found it great value for budget travel. At the moment they are renovating the other building of the hotel, this however did not disturb the peace at all. Great breakfast and big parking. Would come again!
