Phuket Hotels

[Harry Dude]

Like Red Hawk I enjoy a nice luxurious hotel every now and then. I just stayed at Impiana for a week, and it has a great location. Directly on the beach, and 5 min walk to Bangla.

However I wouldn't classify it as directly Girl Friendly. I would say they are Girl Tolerant.

1. There is a little poster on the receptionist's desk stating quite clearly that unregistered guests are not encouraged.

2. There is a 2000 Baht joiner fee per night if you do bring in a guest. When checking in, you have to sign a separate form specifically to make sure you understand this.

3. There are guards at all entry point into the hotel (through the restaurant, through the main entrance and the beach-side entrance) , so it is very hard to sneak a girl past them unnoticed.

I had a girl there for four nights, and I went ahead and added her to my reservation as a guest. This resulted in no joiner fee being charged, but you have to be careful: This means she can actually come and go as she likes when you are not there by asking for a key from reception. So if you do this, be careful.

Hi all,

Just to update you with GF situation of the mentioned hotel.

I'm the sort of guy how likes comforts and can afford them. There was no way I was going to stay in a shit hole just so I can monger. There was chatter about this hotel that you have to pay a joiner fee of 2K.

I thought sod it. And booked. I arrived today.

When the reception mentioned that there would be 2k free I refuded to pay. I said I'm on holiday and there is no way I'm going to pay you to bring a guest in. I said go ask you manager. He came back and said we will need to see I'd card but we will wave the fee.)

I didn't even really cause a fuss so don't let them screw you.

Its a nice hotel, my room is very close to the beach. Only 10 min walk to Bangla road.

Have fun guys

Had a great 7 days stay in Kata at the Chaba hotel recently. 800 baht per night for excellent clean rooms, nice grounds and pool, free breakfast and internet. Can't recommend it enough, and Kata has excellent choice but is much more relaxed that the madness of Patong nearby. You can always rent a bike and take a run up there in 15 minutes or so. Avoid the Tuk-tuks in Phuket though. They're all bad news, likely to hustle you and just as likely to get their mates to help them beat you up if you complain.

If you stay in Kata or go near there drop by the RickNRoll around the corner from the Chaba for a friendly bar (not girly, just a regular bar) atmosphere and nice folks. And the bike rental place outside Rick's place are super helpful, has the best bikes and excellent tour suggestions if you want to do more than mongering.

The girly bars are all a short walk away on the kata beach road. Most have interesting talent and you can get short time for 1000, and often long time for the same. More on that in a separate post in the regular Phuket forum.

Hello, Mate. Is this hotel GF?

Had another stay at the summer breeze recently.

Again, staff, food and service was exceptional.

The only complaint I would have is that the televisions are old cathode boxes, not new flat screens.

The use of bbs pool was limited because of some construction work and I don't know if the pool will continue much longer.

Visited the yorkshire hotel for a meal and a beer. Top hotel to watch sports and good, if a little expensive food. I like the owner of the yorkshire, he knows how to take care of his customers. One thing I don't like about the yorkshire is that they add vat to their goods after the displayed price. So your 80bt beer costs you 84bt when you pay.

Done to ensure the customer leaves a tip from the coins every time.

Has anyone stayed at the Blue Ocean Resort or do you guys know if this place is girl friendly?

Thanks. EB.

Hi,

Any one stay at the Thara Patong Beach Resort lately? Is it GF? Any other suggestions? My budget is $150 and must be walking distance to Bangla.

Reading the posts and some research online, I narrowed it down to the following hotels:

Thara Patong Beach Resort.

K-Hotel.

Andaman Beach Suites (I doubt this is GF)

Patong Beach Hotel.

A. P. K. Resort (This one seems a little far)

Any help would be appreciated.

[Fistmaster]

I stayed at the Hotel K last year and was fully satisfied, nice big rooms, hudge showers, no extra charge for visitors, quiet but close to the main action road called bangla 3 min walk and the small bar next to it named point6 is a great place if you missed the breakfast from the hotel.

I have a friend (couple) that were staying at The Holiday Inn. It doesn't appear to be guest friendly. A guy that checked into a Villa said he has no problems but he was with 1 girl only the entire time so I don't think that counts, but I did witness a guy bringing a girl back around 5am and security stopped him from entering. Not sure what happened after that.

Hey I loved the Holiday Inn. It is guest friendly. All you have to do is give the guard 200 Baht. That's what I did (LOL). Great location just across the street from the beach and a great pool and breakfast! It was just under 200$ day total which is a little much.

For people thinking Summer Breeze is a five star hotel it isn't. However it is the cleanest, friendliest 2-3 star hotel you will ever find. Not a better staff anywhere, and the pool IS open and Sb supplies free tickets.

Good to see they have fixed the pool situation.

Ah, ok. But in this case it would be of little use, because the owner has almost no english at all, so you will need to come in person. It's about 1 Km from Bangla road.

Actually, it is not permitted to post personal contact information, but it's OK to post the phone number(s) and email address of a guesthouse or a hotel (provided that it is not spamming nor self-promotion, of course).

BKK Dreamer, posting numbers and emails is not permitted by forum policies. But you can always use PM if in the need.

They don't have transportation but at 150 B. for minibus that is hardly a concern.

any phone number, email address ?

How far from the beach and how far from the popular discos ?

any airport pick-up / return to get away from the taxi mafia ?

thanks for the info

If you leaving Phuket airport turn right as you go outside and you will see a hut where you can get a meter taxi to take you to Patong.

It depends on where you stay but the beach is starts at the end of Bangla road.

From what I can remember there are a couple of discos on Bangla road
