MANATHAI RESORT PHUKET

"We booked a pool villa for 3 nights and have a 15 months old baby so we reserved a baby cot. Upon our late arrival the hotel told us that they did not have one available. They offered us a roll-in bed instead but of course that did not work. In the end we turned around the sofa in the room and asked for extra bed-linnen which took forever to bring and no apologies were made during our entire stay. Our friends who arrived around 4pm had to wait 1,5 hour before their room was ready. The 'pool' was a tiny little lap pool and on our terrace was only 1 sunbed, no parasol no table. Construction work all around the hotel. The room itself was nicely decorated and all amenities were available. Food was nice, however breakfast was average and staff not very smiley or friendly. Unfortunately all of us became ill with a stomach bug. The beach club was very disappointing. Not at all a reflection of the hotel. Old sunbeds and wornout parasols. Overall a disappointing experience. We will not return. " - Laura Vermeulen

"Nice hotel conveniently located for Surin Beach. The pool room we stayed in was in appearance very nice, but there were a few too many flies and other bugs in the bathroom. The private pool was a good addition but there was a regular audience from an overlooking noisy building site which did not really help matters. " - Manoj Parmar

"Excellent hotel, absolutely loved everything about it, especially the breakfast !!!!!" - Andrew Welland

"Probably the styliest place I've ever visited. We also had dinner in the restaurant one night and this had the same class. Surin beach is very ok too chill for couple of days, but the surroundings do not offer too much. Definetly not recommended for singles. Staff very young and most of them do not speak very good English. All very helpful though." - yob dippel
