the staff helped with arranging transport to phuket airport for a reasonable price. it removed some travel stress. the rooms were very clean (i always appreciate this). the room was also spacious with nice decorations.

my room faced the street, it was quite noisy. there was no pool, only private pools for certain rooms. the location is also far from everything (you definitely need a scooter here).

A Stay with Mixed Feelings

nice staffnoisy roomstrong tides

The staff were quite nice, and the breakfast was acceptable.

My room faced the street, and it was very noisy all the time. The tides are strong. The beach is practically nonexistent. I think I should have considered a room with a pool instead.

Good features, but some drawbacks

helpful stafflocal beacheseasy transportnoisy roomsmall roomstreet proximity

The staff was very kind and accommodating. They booked transport from Phuket to the island including taxi to the ferry and taxi from ferry to my room. That was amazing. The staff recommended local beaches that were better than those on travel sites.

I got a room without a pool and right next to the street. It was very noisy all the time. My Grand Superior Room was quite small for three adults. The length of the bed would have been a problem if we were tall.
