D Varee Mai Khao Beach Resort

The location is too remote, there is nothing! There are not many people, and there is nothing to do at night except staying in the hotel! When you go out, you have to take a taxi, and taxis here are not cheap! We also booked three nights, and I regret it so much! The so-called resort is just a swimming pool, and the bottom of the pool is also dirty! The facilities in the room don’t look like they were renovated in 2023! The most outrageous thing is that there are no slippers provided, you have to go to the front desk to get them yourself, and you can’t lose them. They have to recycle them. They are slightly thicker disposable slippers. If you lose them, you have to pay 300 baht a pair. It’s outrageous!

Everything is beautiful in the hotel, as well as the quiet and relaxation without noise, just far from the shops

It is a hotel with a beautiful view, located by the sea. The staff are very friendly. The food is delicious and not expensive for food in a Phuket hotel. The atmosphere is shady. The swimming pool is beautiful and clear, inviting for swimming. There is a bar on the beach where you can sit and relax and sip wine. The room is clean and the view is beautiful. It is a good place to relax.

The resort is spectacular, right on the beach. The impressive pools. Very pretty, very careful. It could indicate that the location is very far from everything. It's so you don't leave the hotel. And as a complaint: I spoke with them previously, that we were staying there for my partner's birthday, that I would like them to have something special prepared. They confirmed that without a problem, I told them the date of birth and the name. To my surprise, when we arrived THERE WAS NOTHING PREPARED. A disappointment

We were in the same hotel in the last pre-coronavirus spring. Then I also wrote a review here. And so, given the limited choice of destinations available without unnecessary hassles, return to a modest but proven hotel. The main plus is that the hotel is still 1/5 full at best, and most likely even less. Therefore, it seems as deserted and quiet as it was five years ago. Exactly what we wanted - a minimum of human speech, the absence of children's screams, the absence of any entertainment in the hotel, and complete relaxation... We were afraid that the feeling of complete relaxation may not be repeated this year, but it has not gone away, the hotel did not disappoint ... now there were not even the Chinese, who occasionally came 5 years ago to spend the night and disappear in the morning. Accordingly, there are always free sun loungers by the pool, there are always free tables in the dining room, food and fruit do not run out, and so on... The same polite, friendly staff, the same modest breakfasts, but at the same time there is a choice, they will not leave you hungry . What has changed is that the amount of greenery on the territory has decreased somewhat, this is especially noticeable when leaving the reception and on the path from the buildings to the sea. Maybe the new plantings just need time to grow. All rooms in the main buildings have been renovated; the villas are still waiting their turn for renovation. The SPA is also not open yet. The quality of repairs in the rooms leaves much to be desired (in the bathroom, the cracks between the tiles are not sealed everywhere, the pipe outlets are not sealed, the towel shelf looks very unreliable), but so far this is not particularly noticeable. The rooms have become noticeably brighter. Slippers and robe are still included in the room, as well as umbrellas and a kettle with bags for making tea and coffee. From the old - only centralized light control panels. The breaker at the entrance now works only from a card with a magnetic layer; a regular cigarette cardboard does not work. And the cleaning lady constantly strives to take away the second card left for the work of the air conditioner (which sometimes lives its own life and begins to “regulate” the temperature itself), or at least pull it out of the breaker. The location of the sockets is quite inconvenient - almost at floor level behind the bedside tables and behind the TV. And not a single socket in the bathroom at all. So, hair dryer and electric razor users, welcome to the room. Wi-Fi throughout the entire territory, the signal is good, but sometimes it slows down. The connection, unlike what it was 5 years ago, is not lost. It does not require a password. Azur-bar has appeared on the beach, where you can sit on soft ottomans and admire the sunset to the sound of the surf. But the infrastructure around, which was not much before, is completely gone. The site of a small street at the entrance to Le Meridien (ex-Holiday Inn), where there were five restaurants and several shops with fruit, souvenirs, and knitwear, is now a wasteland. The mini-market turned into a micro-market, reducing its retail space and assortment by ¾. The ATM has moved to the Le Meridien lobby. For three hotels (Le Meridien, D-Varee and Melia) there is only one restaurant left on the shore
