GGuest UserHotel Location: The hotel is approximately 1 km from Phuket Airport and offers one complimentary 24-hour airport transfer (either pickup or drop-off). You can arrange the timing with the hotel via Ctrip.
The hotel is somewhat secluded, with no restaurants, bars, or massage parlors nearby. The nearest 7-Eleven is about 800 meters away.
Luckily, you can rent a scooter from the owner for 300 THB/day. Here's a tip: there aren't many traffic police checks within 10 km of the airport; Patong Beach to Karon Beach is where you're most likely to encounter them.
With a scooter, you can freely explore the island. You can head to Nai Yang Beach, about 1.5 km away, to watch planes land, or go swimming and snorkeling at Nai Thon Beach, which is 7.5 km away.
Having a scooter allows you to fully experience the charm of a tropical island on Phuket itself, even without booking an island-hopping day trip.
Hotel Service: The couple who run the place are kind and friendly, and you can communicate with them smoothly in English. Their daughter speaks excellent Chinese and can provide a lot of useful information.
Hotel Facilities: The hotel has a rustic resort style, consisting of several single-story, independently built units. Lush greenery, trees, flowers, and fish ponds are planted between the houses, creating a vibrant, natural ambiance.
The rooms are spacious, clean, and tidy, offering a refreshing and pleasant stay.
At night, the chorus of frogs lulls you to sleep. Sometimes, there are lightning, thunder, and heavy downpours, allowing you to experience the unpredictable moods of nature – an experience you wouldn't get in a city hotel.
Summary: Honestly, when I visit Phuket, I usually stay in popular Patong because of its vibrant nightlife. However, I had an early flight at 7:35 AM the next day, so I had to settle for a less conventional option. I didn't have high expectations, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised by so many things.
