Laem Pakarang Beach

Our room was upgraded to ground floor pool entry from garden cottage. We were pleasantly surprised. Welcomed with English speaking receptionist. Room was clean and cleaned daily. All staff very pleasant even if they didn't speak English. Breakfast was brilliant. A good mix of Thai and continental. Choices changed daily. We could always fund something different to try or something we liked. Breakfast hours were very convenient. 6.30 - 10.30. I LOVED the pool. Canoes were a little battered but still usable. Pool needed regrouting as several tiles loose underfoot but the cleanliness was excellent. Issues did not affect my use of the pool and my family want to come and stay there also. Would really recommend. Great for families too.

I had a very enjoyable stay at Arinara Beach Resort in Phuket. The location was perfect for me, as it is only a one-minute walk from Bangtao MMA & Muay Thai, where I was training. My room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was good, and the gym was basic but serviceable. The staff were also pleasant and helpful throughout my stay. The only drawback was that the hallways can be quite echoey, so noise and commotion from other guests were easily heard from the room. This did not outweigh the overall positives, however. I would definitely book Arinara Beach Resort again the next time I train at Bangtao.
