In short, I was satisfied with everything. It's not 5*, of course, but I was not disappointed with anything. Settlement of bags at 14-00 and not earlier. If you come on your own, you can settle earlier and even upgrade to a villa. 2 people speak English, everything else - yes, no, tomorrow for any of your questions)) Wi-fi is everywhere and for free.

In short, I was satisfied with everything. It's not 5*, of course, but I was not disappointed with anything.
Settlement of bags at 14-00 and not earlier. If you come on your own, you can settle earlier and even upgrade to a villa.
2 people speak English, everything else - yes, no, tomorrow for any of your questions)) Wi-fi is everywhere and for free. Breakfasts are eaten. Rice, noodles, eggs, cereal, vegetables. From fruits pineapple, watermelon and papaya. If something is over, they will not bring it until you ask. If you ask, they immediately add))
The beach is gorgeous, there are no people, you can always find a shadow. There are not enough sunbeds by the pool for everyone, that's a fact.
The rooms are modest, flat TV and a refrigerator, the furniture is about to fall apart, but there is almost none in the room, you can not bathe)) The air conditioner turns on by itself at night.
Once a day at 11 a minibus goes to supermarkets, at 11-40 everyone is lucky back.
You can’t get out of the hotel anywhere, a taxi to the airport (5 km, 10 min. ) - 15 bucks one way, and if it’s to civilization in the south, then everything will be 40.

Check-in at the hotel was standard, waiting until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The hotel is far away from Phuket, away from the city, bird beach and very calm. So to speak, a bird hotel. Very good location, on the 1st line. True, the hotel is quite old, the renovation was a long time ago, not the first freshness.

Very good location, on the 1st line. True, the hotel is quite old, the renovation was a long time ago, not the first freshness. The room is also old, it did not interfere with the renovation. But its advantage was access to the pool, though it was for extra money. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. A new hotel is being built outside the territory on one side and there is some noise. The beach is excellent. And the food is at the level at which the hotel is located. The big plus of this hotel is its location away from civilization. Who wants a relaxing holiday, then he only here.

Examined with colleagues as part of a promotional tour of Thailand. I must say right away that I really liked the hotel, but there are nuances. Firstly, there is no infrastructure around, it takes 10 minutes to walk to the nearest civilization. 5 minutes walk to the beach, Mai Khao beach. The beach is in the public domain.

I must say right away that I really liked the hotel, but there are nuances.
Firstly, there is no infrastructure around, it takes 10 minutes to walk to the nearest civilization.
5 minutes walk to the beach, Mai Khao beach. The beach is in the public domain.
Beach towels are provided by the hotel.
Types of meals at the hotel breakfast, breakfast + dinner, breakfast + lunch + dinner.
Wi-fi is free everywhere.
There is a 500 baht round-trip shuttle on Wednesdays to Patong, on Sundays to the night market.
We examined the Deluxe pool access room: the room is like a room, there is no mini-bar, but there is a bathrobe, slippers, umbrellas. Water, tea coffee bp every day. Some rooms have a shower, some have a bathtub.
The hotel itself is such a green tropical paradise, in which it will not be boring only for either lovers or people who are very tired of society, who know how to entertain themselves.

I definitely liked the hotel. Service. The staff is friendly like most Thais, speaks excellent English. Any request will be granted. The restaurant is located by the sea, so an amazing atmosphere is created and breakfasts are very pleasant. Despite the fact that breakfast is a buffet, tables are served: coffee is always poured, dirty dishes are taken away instantly.

I definitely liked the hotel.
Service.
The staff is friendly like most Thais, speaks excellent English. Any request will be granted. The restaurant is located by the sea, so an amazing atmosphere is created and breakfasts are very pleasant. Despite the fact that breakfast is a buffet, tables are served: coffee is always poured, dirty dishes are taken away instantly. A pleasant lounge sounds around the clock in the lobby, bar and restaurant. The room is cleaned daily.
In general, the service is excellent.
Territory
The territory of the hotel is well-groomed, large enough and beautiful. Since the hotel is located in a protected area and the elite beach of Mai Khao, the garden is full of rare species of plants: palms, mangoes, flowers and other beauty. And some beautiful birds and a lot of geckos live there.
The hotel has three pretty good swimming pools. The middle one, or the second one from the reception, is located between two buildings, 2 and 3. It has a jacuzzi and a more pleasant area around. Of the three buildings, I advise you to stay in 2 - the most comfortable rooms. We lived in it, on the 4th floor, and had a balcony overlooking the wonderful territory and the beautiful sea.
There is also a spa on site. Go boldly. Reasonable prices, great massage.
Rooms
The rooms are very good by Thai standards. The refurbishment is not the newest, but quite to itself. Our room had a large double bed, plus a regular single bed, although the room was only booked for two. There was also a refrigerator, kettle, hair dryer, sofa, table, plasma, wardrobe, lockers, shelves, a huge mirror with a large and spacious dressing table. There was a wooden table and wooden chairs on the balcony. Towels were changed daily, water, tea, coffee and bathroom amenities (excellent quality, by the way) were reported daily. San. node without any complaints. We had a bathroom and shower.
Slippers and bathrobes are a nice bonus.
Beach.
Access to the beach directly from the restaurant through the last third pool. The coast is steep. The sand is clean and yellow, not white like on most of the island's beaches. Tiny crabs run across the sand.
About sunbeds. They were. A whole bunch, and even with umbrellas. Like this! Although I didn’t see the point in them, since the hotel pool with sunbeds is right on the shore.
You can take a shower and take a towel near the pool.
Infrastructure.
But here everything is not very good. But quite bearable.
There are only 3 cafes near the hotel. The first is outside the territory near the Holiday Inn, there is also a tiny market (but there is still a choice of fruits and clothes). This cafe is the most budgetary, authentic, with delicious food, large portions and low prices. We just liked it.
The other two are located close to the hotel. If you go to the beach through the last hotel pool, then to the right is an Englishman's cafe, to the left is some more. You can still walk along the coast and go to any hotels. It is allowed. Also at some distance, but within reach, there are other cafes. You just need to walk further. And you can also go to a seafood restaurant on the coast of Khao Lak. I have never tried such incomparable seafood in all of Thailand.
Close to the hotel there is a minimart shop. There are essentials and a minimum set of food and alcohol. There are even souvenirs.
Get to Phuket Town or Patong only by taxi, which you call from the reception. A taxi costs 1200. This price includes: round-trip and 4-hour wait (I don’t remember exactly). If you travel together to someone from the hotel, it's very cheap. Such prices for taxis throughout Phuket. And there is no public transport, such as tuk-tuks like in Pattaya.
Nearby is the Khao Lak nature reserve. This is a plus if you buy an excursion there, as the trip will not be so tiring. A trip to Khao Lak is a must.
In general, rest in this hotel is pleasant and comfortable. The real relaxation. What you need for relaxation. But if you need noisy hangouts and parties, you definitely need to go to another coast.

The hotel is terrible. Room cleaning during the most inconvenient hottest daytime. If you land, they will change the towel for the beach. Dirty, unkempt, the beach is full of cigarette butts and garbage. The restaurant is not edible. Tea for breakfast is 2 bags in a teapot of a liter and a half. Tables are wiped with dirty towels.

Dirty, unkempt, the beach is full of cigarette butts and garbage. The restaurant is not edible. Tea for breakfast is 2 bags in a teapot of a liter and a half. Tables are wiped with dirty towels. Dogs run everywhere. The inscription in the restaurant: "Food and drinks from other restaurants do not bring" - says a lot. Dinner in it, as a rule, is one time for everyone. Then you have to go in search of food. The choice is very poor: the nearby hotel 5 is expensive and not very tasty. The cafe at the Korean and the Englishman - they work as they please, the assortment is not rich, there is no special effort, because there are a lot of people who want to. Prices, if you choose something decent, are not cheap at all. You can walk 15 minutes to another 2 hotels 5-kam, along the coast - already through an absolute garbage dump. Flies are not measured everywhere. Not far from the hotels there are stalls where there is a small selection of fruits, they also cook food there, again in complete dirt. The only store with a minimum set is very popular, because it takes about 40 minutes to drive to any small retail outlet. Moscow taxi prices. Prices for fruits and anything in the store are not very small.

the hotel is far from everything, shops, restaurants, etc. , only the Holiday Inn hotel is nearby, it is unlikely that anyone will have a desire to ride for an hour every day to have lunch or dinner in some normal place. the hotel restaurant in this regard is just awful, what they cook is a nightmare! ! breakfasts are extremely poor and monotonous.

Shops are also a 30-40 minute drive from the hotel. there are a couple more places on one and the other side of the hotel near the beach, but the one on the left side, between Piraya and Holiday Inn, doesn’t always work, we didn’t get there, because outwardly the establishment didn’t make us want to have dinner there. on the right side in the direction of the beach there is a small restaurant, we called it "at the Englishman", we must give him credit, he turned out to be the only alternative, they cook there medium-stably-normally, I would say this is his advantage. but there is also a drawback - it cannot accommodate all the unfortunates who have managed to settle in our hotel. to which we also belonged. in the same place every evening from about 18 o'clock it was possible to observe a continuously stretching chain of hotel neighbors, who could no longer accommodate this small establishment. In general, this is the main problem of this hotel.
about the beach, before the trip I read different reviews, and that it was dirty and that it was clean, not true, the beach turned out to be clean, but "wild", it's just a beach, without sunbeds, service and other joys that most tourists want. this fact did not upset us very much, because the absence of crowds of tourists and the shady beach with its trees suited us completely. the hotel also has 3 swimming pools, also almost always empty.
about the room and the cleaning in it, we got the room of average wear and tear, so to speak, in the second building, on the third floor. there were no special complaints about the room, we basically only spent the night there. cleaners were left 100 baht daily, but at the same time they often forgot to put something in, from shampoo to toilet paper)) all rooms overlook the pool, but it seems to me a dubious pleasure to live on the 1st floor with access to the pool, otherwise we would Every evening was entertained by bored guests of this hotel.
I even find it difficult to say which category of vacationers could recommend this hotel, neither to the elderly, nor to families with children, nor to young people. if they improved the situation with the restaurant or if there were more alternatives in this regard, then this hotel could be recommended to lovers of a relaxing holiday, but not yet. although the beach is pretty good when compared with dirty patong))

My husband and I flew to Phuket for the first time. We always choose tours very meticulously, until we read everything, look at it, analyze it from all sides - we don’t decide where we won’t fly. There is something to compare, many places went to rest, including Europe. The hotel was chosen so that it was quiet, calm, comfortable, in order to relax and completely disconnect from the metropolis in one word.

There is something to compare, many places went to rest, including Europe. The hotel was chosen so that it was quiet, calm, comfortable, in order to relax and completely disconnect from the metropolis in one word. There were no complaints about the hotel, check-in, staff, rooms - everything was in order. Breakfasts are modest and monotonous, but you can drink coffee with something in the morning, that was enough for me, and you can also eat for breakfast, and my husband never went at all, because he slept at that time. Internet catches in the rooms. Everything was arranged absolutely, they were very satisfied with the rest, the beach, the ocean - everything is great, the husband hung out on the waves for three or four hours, did not want to go out. There are at least two cafes on the shore on the beach, side by side, for 1200 rubles for two for dinner, plus beer - you could burst, so then they took only salads and one dish each (they cook deliciously), two cafes from locals at the exit from the hotel (if you walk 10 minutes to the right). Plus, once we went for a change for dinner to another beach, we didn’t like the food or the atmosphere categorically, we realized that we were very lucky and didn’t even go anywhere else to eat. In general, it’s super in Phuket, we took an excursion (waterfall, monkey mountain, elephant riding, rafting, etc. ), well, honestly, how happy the children were! Thais are very friendly. Even upon arrival at the airport, they surprised us by returning an expensive phone to the tourist, opening a photo in it, and while we were all passing through the control line. they looked for the owner on the photo and returned it to him, he was shocked! We also went to the Central Festival (taxi is expensive, it is better to catch the bus from the hotel). Have a nice holiday!

We rested with my husband and a child of 4 years in December 2011. In general, the hotel is a 3-ku. We arrived on December 28, settled quickly, there were no problems. Breakfasts are standard: vegetables, fruits, sausages, rice, broths, jams, coffee. The child has something to feed, if not very picky. There are cafes at the hotel where you can eat, but we rented a motorcycle from the locals for 2 weeks and drove aimlessly))). For us, the hotel is not the main thing on vacation, but to spend the night. I am writing for those who go to this hotel, to dine in a hotel on average 1000-2000 rubles, and in a non-hotel 500 rubles without alcohol, we usually buy it in a dutik. Approximately this is the calculation for food, there is a shop at the hotel (ice cream, juices, water, etc. ). Fruit bought in the markets, a large selection and prices are much cheaper. At the airport after customs in Phuket, the girls offer SIM cards (free of charge), do not refuse to take them, then replenish and call, at that time the call cost 9 rubles per minute. It is better to change money in the airport exchange office, the exchange rate is normal. The beach as a whole is not bad sandy, at the time when we arrived, it was almost deserted, but by December 31 people began to catch up. Room cleaning daily. We went on excursions (on elephants, to the zoo, to a military base where turtles are bred, to a butterfly park, to waterfalls), we went shopping ourselves. The weather was good, it rained at night, yes, it poured. Waves were observed for several days, but my husband and I swam along the coast, and the child ran along the coast for us)))). The locals outside the hotel are very friendly, very fond of children. In general: A hotel for those who want to relax away from civilization. I hope this review is useful to someone. Have a nice holiday!! !
