Secret Cliff Resort & Restaurant

Everything was great except they didn’t have a spa hot tub. they had some construction on at the pool area. The breakfast was so so. The staff was great and the location and views were excellent.

The Hotel was beautiful, views stunning, staff very accommodating! The only issue is its not in walking distance to either Karon or Patong. This is only a minor, we hired a scooter. Food is a little pricey but other then that it was a lovely, clean, quiet hotel & would definitely recommend a stay there!

Secret Cliff Resort is a deceptive bait-and-switch. Booked via Hotels.com, lured by promises of Karon Beach proximity and ocean views. Reality: resort is across a busy four-lane highway, far from the beach, and with no ocean views from the rooms we were assigned. Photos on Hotels.com and their own website showcased amenities belonging to the newly opened Anona Sunset Boutique Hotel, not Secret Cliff. Our "Sunset Villa" was a basic, ant and termite-infested room, with a broken shower and a flooded bathroom. The advertised restaurants, gardens, and panoramic views were completely nonexistent. While there was one pool on the property, it was not the multiple pools or the "Secret Sunset Pool" advertised. Staff were consistently dismissive and unhelpful, refusing to address our concerns or provide manager contact information. Hotels.com provided absolutely zero support, despite our immediate complaints about the severe location discrepancy and the misleading photos. They hid behind a non-refundable policy and refused to hold Secret Cliff Resort accountable for their fraudulent advertising. We were forced to cut our vacation short and leave early due to the unacceptable and unsanitary conditions, as well as the complete deception. This experience was a complete waste of time and money, and exposed the shocking inadequacy of Hotels.com. Avoid Secret Cliff Resort at all costs, and be extremely wary of booking through Hotels.com, as they clearly do not prioritize their customers.

The property description on Expedia is a total lie, 4 min walk to beach is more like a hour plus, if you don't get killed on the very busy 4 lane highway with no sidewalk, also restaurant is across this highway, you better be in good shape to walk to your room, everywhere is on a very steep incline, no staff are the least bit helpful, rooms are very run down, construction all over he place, just avoid this place at all cost.

No

I didn’t think you could go wrong with accommodation in Thailand, but I was so wrong what a horrible place to stay and management was horrible to deal with, my concerns went through one ear and out through the other and they talked down to me, which is not on. The rooms are nothing like what they advertised, there is a bad sewerage smell coming out of the bathroom that stinks out the hole room, not to mention that it’s a construction site with power tool nosies all around, the worst part is my 3 year old daughter found a razor blade in our room and was walking around with it, which just freaked me out, management never remove the razor blade from our room once I showed them the photo and complain, they offered me another room which I went to have a look at it stunk like sewerage as well. The place is definitely not kid friendly being up on the hill to make it hard for the children to get around. We also opted for the breakfast how depressing!!! everything was cold bread was 3days old, hard as a rock. I was meant to stay 8 nights I couldn’t checkout out fast enough, I don’t even think we lasted 12 hours. My best advice is to keep away from secret cliff resort you will feel unwelcome if you have any issues they are deceitful, refusing to respond to any emails from me and the company that I booked with regarding a refund which they haven’t done and will not do

The staff not helpful didn't want to call a taxi down into karon dirty pillows with no covers building work is going on

Nice hotel option in area

Great location, great facilities... However, you often see up to 6 members of staff behind the reception desk, doing what? Try cleaning up the pool area, pick up leaves.. Poorly run, dirty pool area, and seems to be going to ruin. Dreadful wifi...

It’s far from the beach and other restaurants.

amazing sea view、quiet 、friendly reception.

There is a weird animal (crickets type noise) around the property which is very loud

Good peaceful place

Great stay. Enjoyed it.

love the view and privacy!

Excellent location , amazing nature , super quiet and the staff is extremely polite and nice !!!

I’d give it 3.5 star so keep your expectations in tact. The gym; forget about it … it’s garbage! Breakfast is ok but too busy. The restaurant has a beautiful view though. The one bedrooms are on the other side of the highway but they have transportation non-stop.

The location in Expedia is WRONG! It is 45 minutes walk to the beach (down a busy highway with no sidewalk) not 4 minutes away like the Expedia website claims. I called Expedia and they said it is "correct" even though it shows the wrong location in the map and lists that it is close to dining options which it is not. Other than the location being 45 minutes away from the promised location... It was a terrible experience. The beds are uncomfortable, the breakfast was stale with flies, the lunch and dinner are expensive and underwhelming, there is only one shuttle to the beach per day one way... So we ended up spending over $200 in taxies and food. The clothes washing services are 3x more expensive than in town and then it smells moldy so that we couldn't wear the "clean"clothes. (The washed bath and beach towels also smell moldy every day as well). If the resort felt like a 2 star resort... There was no counter space in the bathroom and they wouldn't bring us extra toilet paper until we completely ran out. The AC smells bad and takes a very long time to get going to be cold. Really needs renovation. The location is on a cliff... So walking is not an option... If you are unlucky enough to be across the street as we were... You have to call the front desk to send you a shuttle even just for breakfast which was horrible. I asked for my money back on day 1 and was denied because they say it's the right location even though they admitted that it shows up wrong on the web.

Wow! Definitely returning back here in future! View’s overlooking are simply breathtaking and sunsets from infinity pool fantastic and the restaurant views looking to Karon beach at night are dazzling with buzzing lights etc

Everything was really spot on
