Amazing experiene

Reviewed By L9281HLjenniferc

Hubby and I booked our 10 night stay with Mandarava through Luxury Escapes and stayed an additional 2 days. We had the most amazing stay at Mandarava. The staff there were amazing and so helpful. Duke made our check in very easy (even at 10pm), Judi was helpful in our wish to upgrade our room and Mr Beer makes the most amazing Mango Daquiri's! We first stayed in a Panoramic Deluxe room for two nights and the last 10 nights in a Sea Pearl Private Pool Access room. Both were amazing in their own way. The surroundings are lush and tropical, the air even smells sweet thanks to all the flowering plants. It is about a 10 minute walk to the beach but the lush surrounds of the jungle outweighs the beach being a small distance away. Yes, there is a bit of up/down hill to get to rooms, pool, restaurant - but the team is always very helpful and ready to give you a ride to your room from the reception area. You can also call them to request a pick up from your room if the downhill walk is not your forte. It's a pretty fun ride in a tuk tuk type vehicle. The pools are amazing and very well kept. They are beautiful and the perfect depth/temperature. There are pool towels available and lots of sun lounges to choose from. The restaurant had a great buffet breakfast with a pancake/waffle station, soup station, hot foods, omelet bar, cereal, toast and pastry, and fruit section. The view from the restaurant is quite lovely. We had two very relaxing massages (thank you Apple and team). We also enjoyed the floating brekkie and afternoon tea which we took in our private pool access. Definitely a worthwhile experience. I highly recommend Mandarava for you next stay in Phuket. We are definitely planning on booking there again. It is a very beautiful and relaxing place to be.

Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort

Unforgettable wedding atmosphere at Le mèrridien

Reviewed By Patiphon_pc

The first time we thought of getting married we already planned to have a beach wedding, it was our dream venue. We went around looking and comparing hotels who arranged beach weddings. The first time we went in to look at the venue at Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort, we really liked it and it seemed like the ideal place. After we went in to have a conversation about the prices, it felt like we wouldn’t be able to afford it and won’t be able to arrange our wedding there. So arranging our wedding there was out of the picture, and we didn’t think about it, as it seemed impossible. But luckily after a couple of weeks we got to have a chat with Khun Nuch, to which she told us about the possibility of us being able to arrange our wedding there. After which it felt like there were a lot of things which might be possible for us. We were really impressed by her hospitality, as she was trying to help us with a lot of the things. It felt like we could trust her. We could contact her at all times about our queries and she would always be there to clear them. To which we are really thankful to her as she was there for us from the beginning till the end. We are very thankful for her services. After we signed the contract, we were introduced to Khun Ging, she was also very cooperative with every single part of the wedding, which made it even better than we anticipated. We are really thankful towards her as well, as she was there till the very last moment for us. We are really glad that we got to get together one more time after the wedding to have a chat about the event and have a feedback about it. It felt like we were recalling the whole event from the first day when we started planning about it till the very last day, which felt like she was actually really helpful and supportive towards us. During the conversation afterwards we could really feel that Khun Ging was genuinely happy that our wedding was a success and went as smoothly as we planned. Once again we appreciate it a lot. Another person that we want to thank is Chef Pok. Thank you for adjusting the menu according to our preference. Thank you for the kind gesture of presenting us with a roti when we were stressing out about the event, that sweet gesture really boosted up the aura. During the wedding day, we understood that you were probably stressed out due to the rain and also because we decided not to switch to plan b and stick with the original plan of arranging it on the beach, we are very grateful that you didn’t lose hope and gave your best to make the wedding as perfect as possible. Lastly we would like to thank everyone in the management team who gave their best to make our wedding perfect. The outcome was way better than we expected. It was even better than what we had dreamt of. It was the ideal wedding. We will definitely be back to stay at Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort as it has now become a place close to our heart. Thank you all once again for everything. With Love, Lily & Moss 03/06/2022

My husband and I stayed here from 12th March to 24th March 2022. When we first arrived, we were put in a room we had not booked, that did not look like the photos. However, we got an apology and they explained that there were other people in that room, and that we could go in to the correct room from 1pm the following day. This was all done smoothly. The rest of the stay was great. The corner room on the 3rd floor has an amazing view of the beaches and you can see the sunset. It's truly amazing to wake up to that view everyday. There's a shower and bath (great) however limited storage for clothes (not great). Also, our room was cleaned every single day without error and towels were always changed, water always replaced. They even tidied up my desk and put my make-up in a tray, so lovely. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The pool is great! We spent a few evenings in the infinity pool and it also has a great view of the sunset. Overall, apart from the hiccup at the start, my husband and I really enjoyed our stay.

Dated property, poor upkeep and horrible service

Reviewed By aanchal81

I visit Thailand with my family 1-2 times every year and always choose to stay at centara. It’s been my all time favourite property in Phuket. However, I definitely won’t be returning to Centara again. Been less than 4 hours since we checked in and I regret booking this hotel. The property is in serious need of renovation. The rooms are dated and upkeep is very poor. Even though they upgraded us to a higher category room, it’s highly disappointing. Termites, bugs, cobwebs and a dirty bathtub are just a few of the things that welcomed us. To top it all, the service is horrible. Perhaps bcoz they are short staffed. The housekeeping was very poor and bathrooms weren’t stocked with face towels or hand towels. Just 2 bath towels for a family of 3. After requesting for a thorough cleaning of the room and extra towels, still missing hand towels. To top it all, ever since we’ve checked in… we can’t reach the hotel staff. Needed extra towels in the room and a buggy to go to the reception but no one is answering the phones. We’ve tried reaching the concierge, housekeeping, in room dining, reception…. ANYONE who will answer our calls but to no avail. Absolutely HORRIBLE SERVICE. Do NOT recommend.
