Phang Nga Holidays from AU$1,106

This was me and my husband's first trip to Thailand. We had a wonderful experience as a whole. The resort was beautiful and is surrounded by greenery and is well maintained. It's also central to everything with plenty of food options within walking distance. The room was lovely and the private pool was divine! It provided us with the private experience we were seeking. The staff were beyond amazing, helpful and friendly. They were always happy to greet and assist our every question and need. The only minor thing is that I would've liked to see a gluten free bread station at the breakfast buffett like most resorts worldwide do being that I'm gluten intolerant. The staff however were lovely in guiding me to a supermarket that stocked gluten free products which was about 15 mins from the resort. I would definitely recommend the resort and we would come back and stay in the future when visiting Thailand.

Amazing stay at Arinara. The hotel is great, the layout is perfect in the horse shoe shape with the pools in the middle. A beach bar next to the first pool and bar/restaurant further down leading to the beach. The private pools for your room are great I would recommend getting an outside room as your pool will be completely private great for late night dips. The food at the restaurant is honestly 10/10. You can walk straight out onto the beach from the hotel then walk down left or right to various bars and restaurants. I recommend Nomad for the fire show and also the food is amazing. In terms of convenience you have everything you need on the street at the front of the hotel including more restaurants, massage parlours, desks for buying trips, convenience stores, bars. It offers a quiet village feel with cars and bikes rolling past slowly. Honestly can’t recommend this hotel enough and we’re quite fussy and we’re sure what to expect. For trips further afield the taxis are extremely cheap you almost feel bad for the drivers. Just download “Grab” to easily book taxis to your location it gives you the price upfront. You can get anywhere in Phuket for £5-10. Thank you Arinara🙏

I booked this property as a Expedia Gold member for the VIP room upgrade. I was advised there is no rooms available to upgrade, however a quick search online showed they had 3 rooms available! Very shifty and money hungry. They should not join the Expedia VIP program if they have no intention of participating. I wouldn’t of booked this hotel had I known I won’t be afforded my benefits.

Bandara Pool Villas was amazing. The Ao Yon villa was luxurious and picturesque. My family loved our stay in this one-of-a-kind suite. The staff was courteous and helpful. Small hiccups like a malfunctioning air conditioner and ants near the garbage was quickly remedied. Food at the Sumpao restaurant onsite was delicious although priced for tourists. My family would thoroughly recommend this property.

Great location - staff were super friendly. Would definitely stay again
