Relaxing Spa Experience

During my stay, I enjoyed the spacious spa room with a jacuzzi that accommodated two people perfectly. The outdoor shower added a unique touch, making it feel like a private retreat. It was a good way to unwind after a day of exploring.

Fantastic Bathroom Layout

The bathroom in our room was fantastic, equipped with a large bath and a separate area for the outdoor shower. It felt very luxurious and made for a relaxing environment after long days of sightseeing. I appreciated the attention to detail in the restroom facilities.

I had a mixed experience at The Old Phuket. The rooms were generally clean and spacious, and I received a lovely upgrade which was a nice surprise. However, the dining options were quite disappointing, especially the breakfast and certain meals. The hotel's location is excellent, close to the beach and many restaurants, which is a definite plus. While the amenities provided a decent experience overall, I felt some areas could use improvement.

We had a brilliant stay at this resort for two weeks! The rooms were massive and very comfortable, perfect for our family. The pool was well-maintained, and the dining options available were truly enjoyable. However, we did notice some issues with the beach cleanliness and an underwhelming kids club experience. Overall, it was a great holiday and we'll definitely consider coming back.

I had a wonderfully relaxing holiday at this resort, tucked away in a quiet area. The beach is just a short stroll away and the local Thai restaurants are worth exploring. Although the air conditioning could use some attention, the rooms were spacious and clean, and the breakfast offers a nice variety. The pool area is lovely, but it could benefit from more loungers as they get reserved quickly in the morning.

Rooms

The rooms were bright, spacious, and clean, featuring comfortable beds and a unique bathroom layout with a sunken bath that overlooks the pool. Rating: 9

Service

The staff were helpful, polite, and friendly, making our stay enjoyable despite minor issues with the air conditioning. Rating: 8

Location

The resort is positioned nicely, just a short walk from the public beach, which adds to its charm. It's also a pleasant stroll to the nightlife in Karon. Rating: 9

Dining

Breakfast had a wide range of tasty options, including a fresh egg station, but the on-site restaurants may get repetitive for longer stays. Rating: 7

Facilities

The pool area is well-kept and inviting, but there seems to be a shortage of loungers during peak times. Rating: 7

I found this hotel to be a lovely gem with friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was quite good, and the pool was a perfect spot to cool off. However, my last visit was disappointing as the room quality declined, and I encountered issues with air conditioning and cleanliness. It’s clear that the hotel is well-maintained, but the recent experience did not meet my expectations.

7.6/10

This resort offers beautiful surroundings and a spacious pool access room that I really enjoyed. However, my experience was marred by issues with the overly aggressive security, which made me feel uncomfortable as a solo traveler. The dining options were good, but there were some annoying charges that felt a bit excessive, especially during events.

Rooms

8.0

The pool access room was spacious and nicely designed, allowing easy access to the pool right from the patio. However, the room's decor was a bit stark and cold for my personal taste.

Service

Service was hit and miss. While some staff were friendly, the security's aggressive behavior really dampened my experience, and the front desk didn't handle my complaint well.

The hotel is situated just a short walk from a beautiful beach and a few minutes from a variety of restaurants, which made for a convenient stay.

The pool area was unique and well-maintained, providing plenty of options for relaxing. It was great to have pool towels provided to our room daily.
