Perth (PER) to Phuket (HKT)

8.4/10 Very Good! (851 reviews)

We were greeted with warm smiles and a beautifully decorated room for our 30th Anniversary. The room was very clean (although the bed could have been a layer softer / I’m sure if we mentioned this they would have accommodated). Our favorite staff was the pool bartender “Arm” and also Kaheow (main greeter at breakfast) always happy, positive and went out of their way to be sure we had everything we needed! The massages were AMAZING with Vi!!!!!!! Location was perfect! Quiet even though action surrounded us!

Sydney (SYD) to Phuket (HKT)

8.4/10 Very Good! (434 reviews)

This hotel is absolutely beautiful and you'll notice as soon you enter the lobby. There were multiple pools and amenities to relax around. The breakfast buffet had an abundance of options and I like how the options rotate daily. We took a day in Phuket just to enjoy the hotels and shops nearby. The gym and the free workout classes were both great pluses.

Beach was lovely. Good surf. Beware of strong undertow. Found the surrounding area a bit grubby/rubbishy. No rubbish bins.

Karon beach has many hotels offering great accommodation for couples or families. There are also a huge variety of shops and the beach is beautiful and clean.

3/5 - Okay

Cheryl

Karon and Kata beaches are good to view but look out after high tide when all the plastic stuff washes up and they don't clear anything away. Also not impressed with beach dogs who brawled, then mated in front of everyone. Why are dogs allowed on the beaches anyway? No one seems to care. I will also add our disappointment with beach cafes and eateries. A captured audience leads to high priced bland food and generally staff who don't really care. Best place and really good food/staff was Kata food market. Highly recommend this place to any visitor.

5/5 - Excellent
