Quiet, beachy vibe, staff was lovely, food was good, pool was nice, locals can pay a daily rate to visit but that was fun because my kids made friends. Bed set up was perfect for a family with 2-3 kids, everyone had their own bed. A solid hour from the airport but not inaccessible, 40 min into ChillVa market. Night life wasn’t for us so not an issue. Overall lovely stay, only slight downside was mosquitoes in the shower area which is open air. A fan would have been nice to keep them at bay while using the bathroom area, but we didn’t have any issues otherwise.

Too bad.... The location, food and staff were great, but our room smelled of cat pee!

They tried to cover it up with air freshners, which had us fooled the first night, but by the time we returned from our day tour the next day, the bathroom in our room smelt so bad, we had to keep the door closed and remove all of our things. We had to brush our teeth in the main room, and hold our breath to use the toilet!

When we complained about this, they did not offer an acceptable resolution or compensate us in any way for the inconvenience. This lack of attention to the client experience, especially given that this is a health concern for anyone staying in these conditions, was unacceptable.

Room 78 had AC that was not working properly and the ceiling fan sounded like a truck that was about to lose an engine. The receptionist did not want to move me and the \"engineer\" had to come a fiddle with everything. It was an unnecessary, time consuming, and unfriendly process. But, they decided to move me to room 70 which was perfect. The only hot water in all the rooms is in the shower. The sinks have only tepid cold water. The food is top notch and the beach views are excellent while dining. I don't recommend walking on the beach because there is a lot of broken glass in the sand. Thai people told me that they would not swim in the water. Nice to look at but go to another beach to swim.

Loved the hotel. We had a suite that was on the beach. We were able to sit on the patio and watch the sunrise. One night the hotel did a Thanksgiving dinner. We are from the US so we really enjoyed it. The location is a little off the beaten path (the west coast) but we enjoyed the peace and quiet. They have a very nice pool area that is a step away from the beach.

The staff arranged another room for me and gave me a complimentary Massge but it was disappointing. The beach here is not a swimming beach and it was well away from rawai so not much to do apart from hang out at the pool and use the health spa

This is a nice hotel in Phuket’s south with a beautiful beach view. We enjoyed the delicious complimentary breakfast and the evening live music by the pool. The rooms were extremely spacious and clean. However, there was no WIFI connection in our room, and the amenities were quite dated. The shower was comprised of a shower head sticking out of the wall, our safe didn’t work, the bathroom lighting was very poor, and finally there was a strange stale smell when we first checked in. This hotel was in a relatively quiet pocket of Phuket, however, it was at least a 40 minute drive to reach any notable destination. Which I wish we fully considered before booking.

This property is in a stunning location on the beach just outside Rawai. We did not have transport and that was an issue as the property was on an extremely busy road and miles from anywhere in every direction. After the first night attempting to walk to Rawai unsuccessfully we used taxis throughout, some turned up some didn’t as the place is out of the way a little. With transport I’m sure this would not have been a problem. The pool, beach, bar and staff were great. The standard room that we chose was not so good as described in previous customer reviews. I’ve stayed at remote locations before and there has always been a curtesy bus service to the local town, I think this would go down well if introduced ( just add it to the cost of the room). I’ve given 3 due to the above as we did like the resort overall. I hope the comments are taken in the spirit intended as I think a few tweaks will make significant difference to the overall experience.

We walked in and walked back out, as the property was unclean and potentially unsafe. Dust, stained sheets and stained walls. Nothing like advertised. Spa? Joke.

We contacted Expedia straight away and told them we were leaving and were promised that we would be contacted the next day via email as they were unable to contact the hotel that night. We booked accommodation as a consequence of being told that we should.

We were not emailed and the hotel was not contacted. We went back to check six days later to be told there had been no contact.

We have made a formal complaint with Expedia. We were left without accommodation that night until we found one of the very few hotels (our family had to stay in two different rooms in different blocks with in the hotel for one night before finding a wonderful place called Rawai VIP Villas (staff were great and good value for families with children - would highly recommend). Our children did not eat until midnight and even then all I could find was microwave pizza.

We were so lucky. Instead of losing only one day we could have lost half our holiday (after travelling from Krabi - which again was lovely and good value for money).

For the short while we were there we had to get an engineer to check air con due to smell and a towel being wrapped around a joint on it, only to be told that it was a wet moulding towel causing the smell. Doesn't that say it all?

Almost Perfect

Upon arrival we were a bit disappointed as the sea was out and it did not look like the picturesque photos we had seen. This is not a 4 or 5* corporate hotel belonging to the big chains but it had its own distinct feel to it that made it feel like a real holiday paradise. The room was spacious and quirky with the bamboo style ceiling and outdoor shower. The electric shower was in fact the only negative thing as the power was not great but sufficient. The room was clean and comfortable. The quirkiness continued in the outdoor area with the ornate Thai sculptures and pictures. The pool and the view was nice during the day. The table service breakfast made a nice change to buffet’s that seem to be the norm nowadays, although I have to say the portions were on the small side. This hotel seemed to cater for small groups of fitness clients and there was a small gym. The location is not the greatest with the beach offering nothing and a little sore on the feet with the small shells, but it was lovely to stroll on with appropriate foot ware. It’s also a 2 min walk from a busy main road, although you would not know it from inside the hotel. There is nothing of note there except for a couple of bar/restaurants and a convenience store. If you walk up to the main road and turn left, walk about 50m, you’ll come across a delightful street food restaurant. It’s a shame there is no shuttle service to nearby towns as it cost us 300 baht from the port 3km away. Overall it was almost perfect

The room was lovely and the price couldn't be beat for having beach access! Great views... the restaurant was very expensive and only so-so. Location was decent, but rather far from many of the popular destinations. Hard to communicate with the front desk plus. limited hours. Also, I didn't like the tours they were trying to sell from various vendors.... many of them were part of scam tourist agencies, overpriced and allowed for unethical tourism!! For a resort that is boasting eco-friendly, wellness center it's sad they promote tourism that is bad for Thailand.

Relaxed atmosphere, but be prepared to move rooms.

When we arrived we was informed that we had booked for six days rather than the fifteen. This was soon sorted out, but it meant that we had to change rooms three times during our stay to accommodate us for our duration of stay. For this we were given five complimentary massages (one for each of our party), realistically when travelling with children this inconvenience is not what you need, nor are massages.
The rooms are spacious and reasonably equipped and the hotel staff are personal and friendly.
The hotel in general has a nice relaxed atmosphere and is set away from the hustle and bustle of Phuket life.
As this hotel was booked at very short notice due to the insolvency of our previous agent, we were pleasantly surprised with it.
Our experience with the room moving did not seem to be uncommon during our stay because you would see other people moving rooms everyday.
The other thing is. When you order food or drink from the bar, whether you collect it or it is brought to you a 10% service charge is added.
If you order a Taxi from the hotel then the Hotel put a commission on it. There is a local smart phone app called GRAB, which is very similar to uber to order taxi's by and are usually 30% cheaper than ordering from the hotel.

Beach resort for relaxation

Friendship beach is perfect for those who just want to relax. The wellness section offers several types of massages at a reasonable price (starting from 707 baht with tax and service charge for 50min). The restaurant has a wide range of dishes with international foods as well as delicious thai classics, smoothies and healthy options, all reasonably priced (dinner, depending on what you eat, was around 500 baht/person), and big portions. Breakfast selection OK and plenty.
The staff was always very friendly and helpful.
Nice garden with pool and sunbeds. Beach is just one minute from room, though not much to see at low tide.
Gym is quite well equipped.
Despite the low season the weather was OK with a few rainy days only, otherwise nice beach weather (I was there at the end of July - beginning of August). There were quite a lot of families with smaller children.

If you are looking for vivid nightlife and nearby shopping possibilities this is not that hotel, but was perfect for relaxation.

Suitable For A Short-Term Stay, Nothing More

The best way to describe the hotel is 'off the radar'. There's not much to do on the property except swim, eat at the restaurant, exercise or go to the spa. Oh, there is music on Fridays, if that's your thing. The pool is amazing, the restaurant serves good food with happy staff and a lot of options from healthy foods to American favorites. The gym is quite small and has under 10 pieces of equipment - so one can run into the challenge of all the equipment being in use. The spa was disappointing. It's way overpriced for Thailand and condition of the facility. This was a first for me -receiving a spa treatment in a room full of mosquitos!

The room I stayed in was not clean and I was skeptical to sleep on the bedsheets. The bedsheets had stains, the bathroom had hair around the sink and the tables had smudges. I feel the room was nice and spacious, but the negative aspects were the focus during my stay. The check-in/check-out staff can be better, but they are helpful. What was odd to me, they asked me far too many times what time I was going to check out. And when I did check-out (on time), the front desk woman cheered. Seriously.

The hotel is good for a short term stay. I wouldn't stay any longer - there are far better places to stay that's cheaper, have better service and is cleaner in Phuket.

Bliss and serenity at Friendship beach

Friendship Beach resort and atmanjai wellness centre was Ana amazing experience. If you seek peace and serenity at a peaceful beach away from the crazy beach crowds that popular tourist spot Patong beach in Phuket has Friendship beach resort has it. It's right next to the beach and you can feel pamapered by the polite and amazing staff.
The rooms are beautifully furnished and there are lots of space as they are like apartments where there is a kitchenette area for cooking your own meals should you choose to. The rooms may not be as luxurious or modern as those more expensive resorts but they are clean and very comfortable and gives you lots of space especially wardrobe space to put your clothes in.
The Cafe at Friendship beach resort also serves amazing delectable food for those health conscious. They serve normal food or 'raw' healthy food. Delicious dishes like raw zucchini pasta with pesto and cashew cheese sauce to Pad Thai where instead of normal noodles you have strips of papaya in replacement if you're watching your carbs intake.
Next to Friendship beach resort rooms is the Atmanjai wellness resort where you can do their detox programs, participate in their early morning yoga sessions, pamper yourself with their massage or facial cleansing programs or their fitness programs where lovely trained instructors are there to take good care of you.

Overall it's a very reasonable priced resort, I recommend it if you're looking for peace and quiet in Phuket

Other than the location which is some distance from the usual tourists area like Patong, its a good relaxing place. We attended a 3-day eat well program at Atmanjai and that is an interesting experience. Recommended for those who want to learn how to develop a healthy diet and body.

It was a good stay. Quiet place.

Should have been great except for the open bathroom where mosquitoes can get in.

Beach Front Hotel with good service

The place is located in the beach front but water is not too clean with a little of trashes around the area.
The room is clean, big and the staffs are nice and helpful. The swimming is nice and clean. The hotel is located in a quite area but not too far from Rawai where all the family seafood restaurants, cafe and massage reside.

one asset

service was poor tables left with dirty dishes for long times,we were at bar drinking with few other people present at about 10pm we ask for drink told bar closed so we got our own alcohol from room and sat outside noticed others at bar being served . It rained heavily one day and our rooms flooded and dirt from pot plant in outdoor shower was every where, shower broke twice and other issue with breakfast booked for 7 got breakfast for 5 ? . the only shining light was DARLING cant think of thai name been there for years makes it pleasurable when she is there things go smoothly when the cats away the MICE will play open your eyes Star

Nice if you want peace and quiet

It was a nice small hotel and the food was above average. Rawai is away from the main action and beachs so if that what you are after i'd stay in one of the main areas (for me Kata family friendly and still losts of shops and very nice beach) but if you want crazy noise and nightlife the stay at Patong.

Der kom udendørs kommende ind for at benytte poolen og restauranten, der havde mange børn, de blev ikke opdraget til hensyn til andre, virkeligt ringe, de tisset ved bassinet og hoppet derefter i vandet, kom lige fra standen fyldt med sand og direkte i poolen, kastede bolde efter hinanden og på andre som de ikke var i selskab med. Utilfredsstillende.

Honestly this place is amazing if you know what you go in expecting. It’s definitely not luxurious, but it is a cozy, very friendly place, located right by the beach. The staff and the vibe of the place made it great :)

Dejligt sted med gode værelser. Vi havde en lejlighed lige ud til poolen.

Stranden er ikke god, så vi brugte poolen. Vi så ikke ret mange bruge stranden.

Omkring hotellet er der ikke noget at lave, men det var let at få en taxi med Bolt app’en og så var man hurtigt på tur.

Lite mysigt hotell i härlig omgivning. Personalen va mycket trevlig arr service minded. Stranden som hotellet låg vid va inte badvänlig pga sumpig botten. Men den va ok att ligga o sola vid. Rummet vi bodde i va fint men det va bara sovrummet som hade ac. Frukost som ingick va kanon, beställdes från menu och utbudet va bra. Poolområdet va lagom för hotellet och det va lugnt o sjönt kring poolen med dennfina utsikten mot havet. Vi tog en bolt varje dag för att åka till Kata beach tog ca 1520 min kostade mellan 220-400 bath beroende oå tillgänglighet och tid. Det fanns inte jätte mycket restauranger nära hotellet utan det va antingen vid rwai pier eller vid kata som hade bäst utbud. Middagen på hotellet va ok, lite smaklös även om man beställde spicy.

Struttura molto bella e pulita , il personale è disponibile ma sappiate che non si può fare il bagno in mare . Presente quasi sempre la bassa marea e fondale ovviamente melmoso.

Dejligt sted med strand lige til hotellets kant. Men ikke bade venligt. Ved lavvande skal gå 300 meter ud for møde vandet.

Really good resort for the price.

Our room was pretty big and was equipped with everything you could need (big fridge, microwave, water cooker, smart tv, locker). The staff was always very helpful and polite. The pool is amazing, which is nice because you cant really swim in the sea because the water is really shallow for a long distance from the shore. The view from the resort across the sea is also really nice. The restaurant and breakfast were amazing too (free main dish, juice and coffee for breakfast). The only downside of staying here is the distance to Phuket town or other tourist places, but that’s something you know before you book so its not really a problem.

All in all we can only recommend the resort and will definitely come back if we can!
