We arrived in Phuket on 1st April 2025
*nope it is not an April fool joke
We were greeted by an airport staff Ms Hasanah who was very friendly & helpful. She led us to the Van driver which we had arranged with the hotel for an airport pick-up service.
It was a breeze. However the journey to the coastal side of Patong Beach is a 60 minutes ride. The aircon in the van we felt was stuffy and the air is not fresh (stale). The roads leading to the Charm (downtown) is winding and bumpy. Therefore the ride to the hotel was uncomfortable and we had a bad headache by the time we arrived.
Didn't try the food as they were not Halal.
When we searched there were apparently Halal food at the hotel.
Paid for an upgraded deluxe room with pool access and breakfast for my family all paid for but we did not consume the breakfast for the 4 days. That was a waste. As a result we spent more money for transport from the hotel to get to town and spend breakfast and also transport back to hotel on our own additional expense.
The beach is located across the one way street merely 5 minutes walk from The Charm where you can find many food & drinks vendors selling from 8am until late.
We found Halal food there which was fantastic!
Food & drinks prices were expensive but they were delicious & fresh.
The pool is on level 7 at Blk D. However we were unable to use them as all other guests already occupied the pool deck chairs from morning till evening. Sunbathing. We were disappointed.
We were there for 4 nights and throughout our 4 nights stay, we only enjoyed the comfort of our room 4108.
Overall the hotel is clean & comfortable.
The only other comfort we enjoyed was the hospitality of the front desk check in staff, Mr Earn, Mr Hamdan the concierge, and housekeeping services by their staff. They were always quick in delivering our requests.
We are sorry we cannot name them all.
All in all, we felt the hotel rating is overrated.
We will try other hotels for our next visit to Phuket.
