We have just returned to Dubai after spending 16 happy days doing nothing more than enjoying the peaceful location of the hotel and the warmth and hospitality of all the staff. Sue and Robin have got it right! The hotel is clean and well organised and has great staff in all departments -always willing to do that little bit extra,... more

We have just returned from staying at The Waterfront.

Like many other people we were drawn to The Waterfront by Trip Advisor reviews. We have been travelling through Asia for many months and usually find Trip Advisor fairly accurate, however I am still at a loss to work out why this place is so popular. Firstly the good stuff. It is very clean, efficiently run and the staff are... more

We stayed here following 4 frenetic days in Bangkok and it was totally the relaxing experience we had hoped for.

By the end of the first day we were on a first name basis with all the staff. The central pool / bar area was... more

We were picked up at the airport and given the tour of Bophut by Robin. We were pleasantly eased into life on the island and when we arrived at the hotel were truly... more

A family run resort owned by a British couple. Sadly we did not meet Robin as he was away but all the emails obviously worked because his son was there to greet us at the airport and take us to this boutique hotel. One could sense that Robin being away had increased pressure on Robin's good lady. Nonetheless nothing was... more

We too were led to this hotel through the ratings on Trip Advisor. The hotel seems to have a great following! There were things we liked and things we didn't. Make your own judgment from there! Here they are: Things we enjoyed: The personal service was great! Robin picked us up from the airport, gave us a tour of the... more

I was looking for an affordable, safe, clean, comfortable resort with great views and good service - and I hit the jackpot with the Waterfront. I was there for 5 nights in April and was very satisfied with my stay. It's not a five star resort, but that wasn't what I was after and was under no illusions after reading... more
