Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
They called the cops and forced me to pay charges based upon a policy they could not provide the details of despite a clear policy to the contrary. since i signed the check in form that i would somehow know all of their policies, I was forced to give my credit card or be arrested.
The hotel is very clean and the staff are very polite and helpful.
However, as a hotel resident I don’t understand why they apply any charge for a sunbed on the beach. This was very disappointing
I booked an airport pickup through the resort which is far more expensive than halling a cab from the street - not really complaining about this, but they didn’t even book the taxi for me! I show up at the airport with my family and no one is there to meet us!! No refund. No apologies…
The resort also has a scam where you put a card on your door indicating that you don’t need your room serviced that day and they say you will credit you 200 baht per day as a thank you. I expected this to be added onto my bill as I took advantage of this on four of the seven nights that we were there. I was told at the end of the stay that the 200 baht credit note can only be given when requested on the day it happens from the front desk - this was definitely not communicated to us at the time of check-in!!!
Most staff at the hotel are also not friendly and do not say hello when you pass them, which is really unusual in Thailand…
We stayed in building 1 in a pool access room. The room was very old and not well maintained. The TV is literally from the 90’s and the mosquito problem should really be managed. The air conditioning was super old too. The resort forbids you from bringing outside food which is hard when you are traveling with a toddler who likes to snack all day. We did love the playground and kids clubs at the resort, but again, the indoor play structure need to be updated. Although the staff were all very lovely and helpful, I would not recommend staying here.
The room was very spacious and great to have pool access from our balcony (we got the Sun late afternoon in block 4)
Only issue we had was clothes storage - only 6 hangers for both of us and no drawers. We noticed a lot of rooms that did the same as us and kept clothes in the suitcases on the floor.
Apart from that the room was lovely, great shower and lovely beds.
The breakfast was great too with plenty of choices to suit all tastes.
Access to the beach was good too.
We’ve been to Bang Tao area before and love Boat Avenue for shopping and eating out, we went for the Friday market and called a Grab taxi for about £5
Lots of restaurants near by too - our favourite was Crave
All in all a great holiday - we shall definitely return to Phuket again
We really enjoyed our stay at Arinara. We love the staff, the location, amenities, our room everything! We would definitely choose Arinara again when we come to Phuket next.
Our second stay at this lovely place. Loads of sunbeds so no problem getting one any time of day. Super nice staff in all roles. Great room, fab pool lovely breakfast and great spot on the beach next to our favourite places to eat- the Cubar does the best Thom khai with tofu ever had!
Just one thing I didn’t like and it’s nothing to do with the hotel tbh but the poor looking horse on the beach, so thin and ridden so badly even by the owners and then idiots that are way too heavy riding them up and down a busy beach. It would be good if this could be banned, from an animal lover and horse owners point of view.
But back to the hotel - we will be back!
