"We stayed at New Star from late April to early May. The hotel is located on Chaweng Noi Beach, which, in our opinion, is the best beach for swimming, clear water, seclusion, and hotel quality.
New Star itself consists of several small buildings, bungalows, and villas nestled on a hillside that slopes down to the beach, featuring a huge panoramic pool. The way everything is built and covered by lush vegetation is so intricate that even by the end of our stay, we could still get a little lost looking for our room.
The room layout and amenities make for a very comfortable stay, and the housekeeping is excellent.
Breakfasts were perfectly adequate and fitting for the hotel's star rating, with various dim sum options available.
The staff were incredibly attentive, responding to every request instantly and always with a smile. They even celebrated my birthday with a complimentary cake.
There were always plenty of free sun loungers available on the beach and by the pool, and the tree canopies provided reliable shade from the sun.
We visited the gym twice a day; there were enough machines and equipment, and water, towels, and disinfectants were provided.
In summary, we wholeheartedly recommend this hotel if you're looking for a peaceful, relaxed getaway on a beautiful beach."
