The location and ambience of this property are wonderful! It is the quietest place we have ever visited in Phuket - away from shopping, nightlife, and busy piers. We really enjoyed the solitude.

Very nice hotel with great private rooms
Stayed by chance after we missed last boat to Koh Yao Yi, however it was a great place for 1 night. The villas were very large and spacious with an incredible private jacuzzi and double bathroom. had a 12 hour sleep on the lovely bed. Staff were friendly and respectful and I would recommend to all others who want to spend 1 night before taking the boat to the islands.

Great location
The hotel has stunning views and a nice infinity pool. Access to the beach is great and is close to the Grand Marina if you are chartering a yacht. The hotel was pretty much void of guests due to the low season and as such, small things were left undone, such as removing dead cockroaches from our room and a giant spider from the toilet. When we asked to use the bicycles the hotel offers, they had no air in the tyres and the attendant seemed reluctant to fill them until we insisted. Bikes were also of poor quality. Restaurant did not serve everything on the menu due to the lack of guests too. Overall, it was fine for one night, but I am unlikely to return.

Place needs a makeover
None of the staff spoke any English so it was challenging to communicate. Our room was leaking from the rain and they gave me some dirty towels to wipe it up. There was 1 bath towel in the room on arrival for 2 people. No hand or wash clothes. This took several calls to resolve. The restaurant had no white or red wine but again couldn’t communicate this. I was finally offered a bottle of sparkling but had to buy the whole bottle. There was no bar or minibar. We did not see one other guest in 24 hours. The whole place is run down and dated. Would not recommend.

Peace and quiet
We stayed in villa 111 for 6 nights, found it very peaceful and comfortable. Pool villa had great views was generally clean, although maintenance was just average. The only issue we had that really does need improving is the breakfast, we could not eat it as was very poor and budget food just catering for the Chinese guests. Enjoyed the stay but would not return

Disgusting resort
We chose to stay in this resort for 1 night due to it's proximity to the Ao Po Grand Marina, affordability and relatively good star rating on Expedia, google reviews, and yelp. Our experience was TERRIBLE. We arrived to be told that we were "upgraded" to a suite with a pool. On first glance we were excited until we started looking around. The resort was basically deserted. The staff spoke next to no english. The 2 tvs in our room were broken. The ceiling in the bathroom was collapsing from water damage. The faucet literally fell off the sink when touched. We chose to suck it up and spray ourselves down with bug spray before we went to bed because we arrived too late to find a new hotel only to wake up at 2 in the morning with food poisoning from the food we ate from their restaurant the night before. My husband got rushed to the hospital for a bacterial infection caused by the food poisoning and both of us needed antibiotics. This hotel looked like it could have been nice 10 years ago but was probably hit by a tsunami and never fixed up. Do not stay here - not worth the money AT ALL.

Relaxing and quite paradise
Chandara is a place to go to meditate and enjoy nature. The Rooms are large and set in a Tropical forest setting with the sounds of wildlife all around. Also located nearby in the Ao Po Marina which is a nice place to visit and enjoy the dockside bar.

Unhurried and relaxed retreat
The resort consists of discrete villas spread about the central amenities complex and pool overlooking the ocean. The place is really quiet and relaxed - plenty to do around Phuket or do nothing at all.... Really friendly and competent staff, great restaurant, clean and well presented accommodation with WiFi (if you forget you are on holidays).

Save your money and go elsewhere, very out dated now
Pontless upgrade to shift us in to a poor room, requested original booked room. Old hotel in dire need of refurbishment, this hotel gets rammed with tour busses morning and night and hundreds of tourists make their way through the hotel to access the tour boats, the hotel has made a temporary pier out of oil drums to accommodate 30 or more tour boats and this is rather noisy in the mornings and evenings. NOT so exclusive or relaxing, an old hotel trying new tricks to make cash, not recommended at all, try another hotel.

Quiet hideaway on busy Phuket island
Stunning location on North East side of the island for rest and relaxation. Very well furnished and spacious rooms. Friendly staff with high service standards. Ideal location for tours into phang-nga bay from Au Po pier only 5 minutes taxi ride away. After a comfortable nights sleep one of the highlights for the day was the morning breakfast looking out over the bay - a simply stunning view. We enjoyed a fabulous four nights with our family and would love to go back.

Wer Phuket weg vom Massentourismus geniessen will, ist im Chandara genau richtig. Das Resort ist landschaftlich -traumhaft gelegen. Das Personal immer freundlich und sehr bemüht. Wir haben uns 2 Motorbikes für die Zeit unseres Aufenthaltes gemietet, so waren wir immer mobil & konnten auch die verstecktesten Winkel & Wege entdecken.Das Resort bietet einen Transfer for free nach Phuket-Stadt an.Die Villen sind sehr geräumig und durch die tolle Gartenanlage kaum einsehbar.Leider ist die Anlage ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen. Es sind einige Sanierungsarbeiten fällt.(Dächer ,Sanitär e.c.) Im Restaurant Eclipse haben wir sehr gut am Abend gegessen.Das Frühstück war nicht so abwechslungsreich. Alles in Allem fühlten wir uns sehr wohl & würden gern wieder kommen.

のんびり過ごすのに良いホテル
GWに5泊しました。STUDIO POOL VILLAからONE BEDROOM POOL VILLAへアップグレードして頂きました。 部屋へ到着後、ウェルカムワインのボトルとオードブル、フルーツが部屋へ届きました。 部屋はとても広く、快適に過ごせました。備え付けのアロマポットのオイルは毎日補充され、部屋のプールも清潔です。ベープマットも部屋に装備されています。 各VILLAの入り口やホテルのエントランスなどには水面に浮かべた花びらのデコレーションが毎日入れ替えられていました。 ホテル敷地内には見たこと無いような花々が咲いていて見て歩くのも楽しいです。 スパの部屋は綺麗で技術も良いと思います。 レストランはタイ料理は美味しいですが品種は少なめ。西洋料理のお味は今一つです。英語の判らないウェイターさんもいました。 売店は基本的に鍵が掛かっていて、近くにあるフロントの人に身振りでアピールすると開けてもらえます。 ホテルスタッフは基本的に素朴な印象ですが応対は好感が持てました。 このホテルはアクティビティーツアーの船の発着場になっているようで、朝夕はツアー参加の大勢のロシア人がホテルエントランスに溢れます(何故かほぼロシア人)。 宿泊客は欧米人も若干はいますが中国人が殆どでした。次いで韓国人。 ホテルのビーチはあまり広くはありません。海水の透明度は低いです。干潮時はかなり水が引き、ぬかるみが現れるようです。プールでごろごろ過ごす方が良いと思います。 このホテルは静かなエリアにあり、周りの徒歩圏内にはかなりローカルな売店兼飲食店が1件くらいあるだけです。 パトンやプーケットタウンなどの大きな街からも遠いので、ホテルでのんびり過ごしたい人向けです。

ローカルホテルならば妥協できるが
空港から近く、東海岸に面している雨季でも海は穏やか。ホテルの状況は写真の通りである。NHKも受信できるし、部屋のWiFiも十分なスピードである。ビラの入り口の花を毎日取り換えるなど、従業員は純朴で、ホテルの努力は認められるが、料金相応のサービスレベルかという点には大いに疑問が残る。私が経験した事実は次のとおり。到着時ベルが不在、自分で荷物を車から降ろす。ビラのリビングの絨毯に前客が食べこぼしたポテトチップの小片がいくつも残存、バスルーム・トイレに髪の毛=掃除がきちんとできていない。給湯温度が上がらず、ほとんど水状態=ローカルのホテルと思えば問題ないが・・・。洗面所のコップに水アカがこびりついている。カーテンにはしみ、テーブルはラッカーがはげた跡だらけ。ちなみに主たる外国人は、中国、韓国人のようである。

また機会があったから必ず行きます!
年末年始に4泊しました。 到着すると、支配人から特別にと、Studio Villaから1Bedroom Pool Villaへアップグレードの上、ウェルカムワイン1本とアペタイザーをプレゼントしてくれました! レセプションの建物から離れていても部屋まではバギーで送迎してくれるので、とても厚遇してもらっている気分を味わえます。 部屋はベッドルームとリビングが別になったタイプで、キッチン、ダイニングもあります。 お風呂は広めのバスタブとシャワールームが別になっており、ここだけでひとつの部屋になりそうなくらいの広さ。バスルームからプールへ行く扉があります。 到着が深夜だったため、空港で借りるレンタカーを翌日で予約していたのですが、翌日に空港まで行きたいとレセプションに伝えると、「空港まで戻るのはお金がもったいない」とわざわざレンタカーやさんにホテルまで運んでもらうように手配までしてくれました。 ラチャヤイ島、シミラン諸島へいったり、食事をパトン、カタビーチで取ったりとかなり動き回った旅でしたが、とにかく部屋は広くて快適そのもの。外からは虫の泣き声以外聞こえてこないくらいに非常に静かなので、部屋に戻ると、本当にリラックスすることができる環境でした。 朝食やNew Year’s Eveにいただいたガラディナーもとてもおいしかったです。(宿泊料金に含まれていました!) 蚊に刺されるかなと思っていたのですが、部屋まで行く道には「夕方17時~18時に虫除けの薬品散布を行うのでご注意ください」との看板があり、実際に蚊に刺されるということは外のテラスでのんびりしている時以外は全く刺されることがありませんでした。 スタッフの方々も非常に親切で、困ったことには出来る限り相談に乗ってくださるし、何よりみなさん非常に温かい笑顔で迎えてくれるので、ほっとさせられます。 レンタカーなどの手段がないと外で食事をしたり遊びに行ったりするには非常に不便なエリアなので、レンタカーを使うことを強くすすめますが、リゾートだからこそののんびりとした時間をすごしたい方は、間違いなくお勧めのホテルです。また機会があったから必ず行きます!
