Hotels in Mai Kao Beach, Phuket

Отель для тех, кто не собирается находиться в номере 24/7. Соотношение цена/качество. Очень приятный и отзывчивый персонал, нормальные завтраки, как минимум, всегда есть рис, сосиски, суп, яйца, овощи, фрукты, минимальные десерты. Всё простое , по минимуму, но нам было достаточно. Номера обычные, ничего ужасного не было, кровати большие, есть холодильник, телевизор, стол, стулья, тумба и вешалки для вещей. Шкафа не было, но и не к чему набирать с собой в отпуск 10 чемоданов) Номера убирают ежедневно, но не так идеально, как хотелось бы, полы только пылесосят, не моют. Полотенца меняют каждый день, постельное нет, но если есть необходимость, можно попросить, проблем не возникнет. Имеется шампунь, мыло, а все остальное нужно брать с собой. Фена нет, брали с собой, но ни разу не воспользовались, так как волосы сохнут сами быстро, хоть и длинные и густые) Бассейн небольшой, но чистый, вечером вполне можно покупаться) Мы были в разных отелях, от самых простых до крутых, но в этот вполне бы вернулись. Но нужно учитывать, что он далеко от всех развлекух патонга и т.д, но зато есть огромный пляж, на котором совсем мало людей. В воде иногда кусает планктон, можно приобрести солнцезащитный крем с пометкой от медуз. При желании можно взять байк, такси и уехать куда угодно, как мы и делали. Через дорогу есть супермаркеты, кафе, лавка с фруктами, массажные салоны, аренда байков.

This hotel does not meet service standards of a Le Meridien hotel. Food quality is far below average for a Phuket resort. The staff are friendly and trying hard but severely under trained. We have visited and stayed at over 5 hotels in Phuket and 10 in Thailand over the past three years. This hotel was by a long way the lowest quality, despite being in the higher cost bracket. A few observations: Buffet food is poor with stale breads, limited selection, limited options (even of Thai food), and low quality cuts of meat. Service stations are understaffed, for example I had to find and then wait for a chef to find a lighter to prepare some stir fried vegetables at evening buffet in the ”J's” restaurant. The food would be overpriced if good, at this quality it is highly disappointing. Restaurant staff are undertrained, and do not complete basic jobs e.g. laying cutlery, cleaning away after guests have left the restaurant, checking on drinks refills. Incorrect bills were presented including charging for bottles instead of glasses of wine. On two occasions we noticed food dropped onto the floor remaining there with ants / insects for the whole of our stay over 1 hour and not being cleaned. The pool area has limited seating and hotel patrons wake early to 'reserve' with towels they have kept from the day before. If you wish to sit by the pool I suggest you wake at 7am to reserve your space. The rooms are updated, clean and well maintained. But there is limited hot water which is very variable. The beach is clean, beautiful and the sea is as good as you will find in Phuket. Unfortunately we stayed through the New Year break and the staff did not remove the tables and chairs from the party for nearly a whole day. Maybe excusable, but the plates of food left to rot on the beach for 12+ hours was for sure not acceptable. I'm including a photo of the toaster as an example of the training / management gaps in this property. For three days there was disgusting melted cheese inside the toaster. I pointed out each morning to the staff but they did not take action. Leaving the property was a good example of the gaps here. I asked for a taxi to be booked (it was not offered), and waited for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes I checked with concierge to be told that they had ”told someone else”. As with many of the gaps in this property there is no chain of command, and staff are not clear on their roles. Finally and not 100% relevant to this review, but we attended the New Year beach party. It was a very funny farce. The MC/DJ appeared to be extremely drunk throughout the night, it rained for 30 minutes - there was no plan for rain - guests sat under their napkins - the buffet food became wet and sodden. The food itself was very poor indeed. The entertainment was two dancers and a miming cabaret act, plus the fire show that happens on every week in the hotel. For $200USD per head, I would not recommend attending an event at this hotel under any circ

This place can be as self contained as you want it to be (as long as you don't want a beer after 10pm. The restaurant serves a great variety at very reasonable prices, and the staff are awesome. You can borrow bikes to get your way into town a bit quicker (about a 1.5km ride), and the pool makes for a great sunset location. Rooms are huge and comfortable. It is a fair walk to get to any other restaurants if you wanted to eat elsewhere (and there are a couple of great restaurants a little bit away, both in ”town” as well as down the road). Also an easy walk to the viewing spot to watch the hundreds of planes daily land and take off.

This hotel is supposed to be a 5 star hotel but we felt like it's only 3 star, cleanliness is poor, we stayed for 7 nights, they never changed the bed sheets and the general cleaning of the room was poor. Also more then one activity was out of service, like the kids zone, the air-conditioning wasn't working also ladies massage and spa was out of service. However we loved the pool.

This hotel set the bar really high for us. The grounds and surroundings are stunning, everywhere is very well maintained and looked after. We had a balcony room which we much preferred to a private pool villa because the main pool area is so chilled and had no trouble getting loungers. The bar staff bring round free smoothies and water all day long- really lovely. The room was spacious, modern and had everything we needed. We got to choose what scent was in the room and what pillow type we would like. The little details of this hotel were superb. They provided sandals, sun hat and beach bags in the room. The bathroom utilities were clean and maintained with a very large day bed and bath on the balcony. The whole room is very boutique- simply beautiful. The staff were all lovely, very helpful and very responsive using the messaging app provided by the hotel. Now, I must mention the food. THE BEST hotel restaurant food we’ve had in Thailand and actually abroad. Every meal we had couldn’t be faulted- it was delicious, well thought out, flavoursome and good quality ingredients. Breakfast was also beautiful, everything you could want and need with fresh smoothies, egg station and all the usual pastries/fruit etc. they have a separate menu if you would like more which is reasonable. If you’re looking for a chilled holiday with tranquility in mind, this is your place. There is the small shopping centre down the road and not too far of a taxi ride to phuket but this is definitely more for relaxing. We went on several trips from here so everything is accessible. All in all, you’d be missing out if you don’t book this hotel. We really loved it, and have enquired to return later in the year.

Checked in for a really quick stay, meeting a friend from the airport. Highlights: - Beautiful villa - Friendly staff - Location right on the beach, with restaurants, massage, convenience store & pharmacy all within easy reach of the hotel entrance - Close to the airport - Entrance to waterpark included - Buggies made getting around the property really easy Could be improved: - Had real trouble with the locks on our patio doors not easily locking/unlocking - Room photos showed a bath, but when we arrived there were 2 showers & no bath in our villa Overall: A lovely hotel with friendly & helpful staff in a good location. I’d stay here again. ☺️

We arrived late. there were two gentlemen who greeted us with warmth and affection. (Perhaps one of them is the manager since he wears different shirt from others.) They are handsome,polite and speak fluent English. What surprised me was that they could feel the difference from Mandarin , Japanese, and Shanghainese. (Our little daughter speaks Shanghainese and Japanese because her father worked at Tokyo.) That means staffs in this hotel are very smart. Also, everyone will say hello to you with smile and be ready to help you at any time. And during our stay, my daughter was bitten by the mosquito, and was hurt. They sent a pro nursing staff to our room to treat the wound. We felt very comfortable in this hotel and got great experiences. Besides, we would like to say sorry that because of our carelessness that we put the tips near the TV casually on 28th April , the staff who was on duty that day didn’t take her tips. But she still cleaned our room perfectly. Back to the hotel, the room is clean and big, everything we need can be found easily. There are two swimming pools. One for adults, which shares a fabulous view of the sea. The other one is for children. Our daughter enjoyed it so much. The hotel has free shuttle bus to the center and free bicycles. But we chose to eat at the hotel. They’ve got 3 restaurants and one coffee shop. Pizza,Pasta or local Thai food can all be tasted here. That’s enough for us. We’ll definitely choose this hotel again next time we come to Phuket and will definitely recommend to our friends.

This is a really beautiful good hotel for those who wanna relax, but for those who wanna clubbing, partying and shopping, definitely not a good place. The staff are really polite and helpful. They clean the room 2 times a day. The breakfast is fantastic, the best breakfast i have ever had in any hotel. Delicious fresh and full of varieties. The pool was fantastic with 1.2 1.5 1.7 2.2 meters depth and a place to sit or stand in the water. Too many beds and umbrellas. ‼️Mindful about the beach, you can’t swim in the sea. There are red flags everywhere !!! But the beach is big and pretty.

The room was clean and tidy, with a slight musty smell, which is understandable. After all, it is a house on the seaside. The reception desk was very small. I clicked the navigation button to get there. It was 10 o'clock in the evening and I couldn't recognize it at all. I drove out and called again. It took some effort to find it.

It is 17km from the airport and it takes about 17 minutes to get on the bus. Since the plane lands relatively late, it is very suitable to be nearby with the elderly and children. The two-bedroom and one-living room with a kitchen is suitable for us. There is a 711 opposite the hotel, but there is no food. There is a supermarket on the first floor of the nearby Turtle Village Shopping Center-1 where you can buy vegetables and seasonings, but there is no seafood. The facilities are a bit old, but the health and service are in line with 5-star standards. The sea is 2 minutes away from the room. It is very clean and there are not many people. The sand is not as fine as Wanning Shimei Bay, but it is still very good. There are 2 swimming pools, one of which is for children, and free popsicles are provided. The children are happy, haha The order does not include breakfast. I only bought breakfast on the first day. The restaurant is not big, so it is okay. The most popular place to eat is the Cafe on the first floor, which is okay, but the wait can be a bit long when there are many people. The price is a 5-star price, which is acceptable. There are company activities here almost every night, and I saw the dance for free The staff's service was very good. I went to the next hotel to call a taxi or mini bus. The driver was good, the bus was clean, and the price was reasonable. A little over an hour’s drive costs 1500🐷. All in all, highly recommended. The price/performance ratio is very high.
