The Aquamarine Resort & Villa

Sowawanee(elle) said, "It is a wonderful hotel and great services.Convenient to get to other places."

D. said, "The resort is very well appointed. The swimming pools offer stunning views to the sea below. The website is a little misleading, however, in that the resort has no beach and that you must take the shuttle to kamala beach if you want the beach experience. I was also surprised to find that on two occasions the shuttle didn’t come to pick us up as we had arranged. No big deal, but we had to pay for an overpriced taxi ride back to the hotel. We found the restaurants to offer very good food. The breakfast was good, with a good variety. The service was pleasant in the restaurant, but not so at the front desk and car hire/bell hop desk. They seemed to make you feel as though you were disturbing their chatting or something.I would not stay there again. There are too many other places to stay that offer better value. Too bad that Phuket in general seems to have lost its charm. It’s all about fleecing the tourist of their money. Samui offered us a far better experience."

Peter said, "Hotel looks nice, rooms ok. Service should be improved- for the complete stay we found some dead mosquitos and flies at the walls. No one replaced them! The shuttle service to Kamala overthe day is ok, but last shuttle at 6pmis a very poor service. Also the service to Patong is very poor. Only 10 people can go with the shuttle at 5.30 pm. No return service is offered. Someof the employees are not very attentiveand more interested among each other.We expected a bit more service and comfort for the price paid."

Luigi said, "The Hotel it was fine ,but the service was not at the standard we expect for the money we paid for it.The people do not understand well our request, the food was not super,but the room very clean and the general items more then accetable."

Thomas said, "Very nice hotel, nice staff. Room is very comfortable room and nicely decorated. Hotel is a bit out of the way but this is not a problem, as you have to take a taxi in Phuket anyway to go from beach to beach. White Orchid restaurant just below the hotel is excellent (tiger prawns and black pepper crab are a must). Kamala is a quiet village with nice restaurants, and close to beautiful Laem Singh Beach !"

Thierry said, "Nice Hotel newly built some building qre still on construction, free shuttle to atong and Kamala beach, 3 swimming pool, breakfast with many choice, but location of this hotel is isolated, walk 10 mn to Kamala ( dark during night and difficult to go to others restaurants ), many areas distroyed by tsunami and not rebuilt around. Panoramic view on beach from the swimming pool ( 3 in total and one with jacuzzi ) and pratically all the room as this hotel is on an hill, service and complimentaries were very appreciated ( cup of fruits, free starter in restaurant... )"

Frances said, "We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at the Aquamarine resort. It s a good quality, peaceful and relaxing hotel with friendly and attentive staff who were particularly good with our 7 month old. Lovely pool areas, a couple of good restaurants and a relaxing (though underused so very quiet) lobby bar. The hotel is set a couple of km from Kamala beach on a hill overlooking the sea. The hotel has a free shuttle bus going into town every hour during the day or it s a 200bht taxi journey. Kamala itself is fairly small town with a variety of restaurants, minimarts and tailors as well as a couple of ATMs and a bank."

Mats said, "Everything is topclass, we had a really pleasant stay here and the breakfast was great!I would love to stay at Aquamarine again."

Sophie said, "A truly wonderful hotel! We were there for 6 nights in a standard room and we thought it was perfect. It s a bit out of the way from the madness of Patong, which suited us fine as it was easy enough to get there when we wanted to. The closest beach is a bit rocky but it s no problem to get a taxi to another one. The food was magnificent, the pool delightful (and not overcrowded), the staff faultless and the overall feel of the place was relaxed and friendly. In our opinion, the hotel is not the place to stay if you re in the 18-25 category and want to drink hard and party hard. It s probably not suited to the frail or disabled either as it s built on a fairly steep hill. It is however, suited to anyone wanting a peaceful Thai adventure without the frenzy of the popular tourist spots. We shall be going back for sure!"

Mr.George said, "hotel has very nice pools with great views of the andaman sea. the rooms are nice but a bit on the darkish side with a great deal of polished teak in the interior. rooms were very clean.as the hotel is located about 12/15 mins. car ride to patong, it is quite inconvenient to go to town; (taxi costs around 200-300baht)one way;furthermore, with its isolation, one cannot go for a walk after dinner.the hotel is built on a very steep hill, so unless you are assigned to the block closest to the main building,one has to get the hotel s shuttle bus to go to/from rooms."
