Really good Dining Experience

The restaurant at Arinara Beach Resort serves the best breakfast I’ve ever had at a hotel! From delicious pancakes to a wide variety of options, every meal was a delight. The dinner buffets are also worth trying—especially the lightly salted red fish that still brings back memories. The staff was attentive and the food was always fresh, making every meal nice.

Kids Loved It!

My kids had an absolute blast enjoying the indoor playroom and the small outdoor area. The pools, especially designed for children, provided endless fun while we relaxed nearby. The availability of pool toys was a huge hit, and it gave us much-needed downtime as they played safely.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is convenient with beautiful beach access, and the pool area is lovely. However, the dining options weren't as great as I expected, and I faced some issues with service. While it is a clean and spacious property, certain aspects need improvement, especially regarding the food variety and staff hospitality.

Rooms

The Junior Suite was spacious and adequately designed, featuring good air conditioning, but lacked blackout curtains, which made it hard to sleep in.

My stay at Arinara Bangtao Beach Resort had its ups and downs. Firstly, the location is excellent, just a stone's throw from the beach, which I absolutely loved. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a decent variety and quality, possibly matching 5-star standards. However, the pool area was often overcrowded with not enough sunbeds available, which really dampened the experience. The service left a lot to be desired, especially during the New Year Gala dinner where I felt misled about costs and service quality.

Rooms

6.0

The family room I stayed in was spacious, but the mattresses were too hard for my liking. There was a noticeable lack of sound insulation, making it difficult to relax with all the noise from the corridor.

Service

5.0

Service during my stay was inconsistent. While I had some friendly interactions, particularly at breakfast, the reception and gala dinner staff were lacking in politeness and efficiency.

Location

9.0

The location of the hotel is fantastic, with the beach just a few steps away and plenty of great restaurants nearby. It's very convenient to explore the surrounding area.

Dining

7.0

Breakfast was varied and delicious, though getting a table could be quite the challenge during busy times. The New Year Gala dinner was unfortunately disappointing both in terms of food and organization.

Facilities

6.0

The pool area was beautiful, but heavily crowded, making it hard to find a sunbed. Additionally, other amenities were right in reach, with many dining options outside the hotel.

I had a delightful stay at this resort, which boasts a prime beachfront location and spacious rooms. The swimming experience was enhanced by having a swim-up room right next to the main pool. While the breakfast options were good, there were some areas that could be improved, like providing better basic amenities in the rooms. Overall, it was a relaxing getaway with convenient access to local eateries.

Rooms

The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, featuring a swim-up option which made our experience unique, although I was disappointed that there were no slippers or robes provided.

Service

7.0

The staff was mostly friendly and eager to help, though the service felt a bit disorganized at times due to apparent changes in management.

Location

The resort is directly on Bangtao Beach, which is perfect for a relaxed vacation. However, it's quite far from the lively Patong Beach, which may not suit those looking for a party atmosphere.

Dining

7.0

Dining options were decent, with a good variety available, although I found that the breakfast could have had more choices.

Facilities

The large pool area was well maintained and the direct beach access was fantastic. However, I wish there were more amenities offered, considering this is a resort spa.

I had an incredible stay at Arinara Resort, where the staff truly went above and beyond to make our holiday special. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the location right by Bangtao beach couldn’t be better for beach lovers. The dining experience was mostly enjoyable, especially at the pool bar with delicious meals. One drawback was the limited options at the à la carte restaurant, which could use some improvement. Overall, it was excellent value for money, and I can't wait to return.

Rooms

7.0

Our room was spacious with a nice balcony overlooking the pool area. However, I found the decor a bit dated, and the bathroom could use some renovations.

Location

The resort is perfectly situated on Bangtao beach, making it easy to enjoy beach activities. However, it's quite far from Phuket's busier spots like Patong.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying the lovely area and beautiful beach access. The rooms were spacious but felt a bit outdated and could use some modernization. The dining experience was good, especially the breakfast spread, but there were some issues with staff communication. Overall, it served well as a base for our holiday, though some aspects could definitely improve.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms are spacious with super king beds, but they are somewhat basic and in need of updates. Some furnishings and repairs would elevate them to a higher standard.

Service

7.0

The staff was generally pleasant, but I had a frustrating experience when they made light of a serious situation involving my son, which left me quite upset. However, they were attentive most of the time.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location is lovely with direct access to a peaceful beach; however, it's a bit remote from more bustling areas, which might be a downside for some. That said, it adds to the tranquility and offers a few cozy nearby eateries.

Dining

8.0

Breakfast was a highlight with a great variety of options from Thai to Western dishes. However, the coffee situation could use improvement since there was only one machine available, causing long waits.

Facilities

7.0

The pool area was well-maintained with a beautiful layout, though I noticed some cleanliness issues on certain days. Ideally, more sunbeds would be great during peak periods.
