The only two cons I have about this hotel is the housekeeper.. she was honestly the worst I’ve come across doesn’t clean the rooms properly doesn’t change the sheets and leaves the floors dirty and it takes her forever to come and clean your room she’s so slow. The property is still having work done to it so there’s noise from around 1am-5am and it’s very loud like if you have small children they’d be woken up so on that note I wouldn’t stay here again. ##### Keauna Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yannick 10 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Parfait Très belles chambres et personnel formidable !!

Below is few comment. 1) Worst is shower no hot water. Found water leaking to the electric water heater and the electrical cable at the facility room. Not sure this water leaking will cause electric shock problems to our guests. 2) No spa and no massage service in the hotel. 3) Advertise photo hotel is different from the actual hotel.

We didn't that we haven't been informed in advance that spa is under construction and is currently not working. Apart from that the rest was good. ##### Toni ### 6/10 Okay #### Casper 2 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service #### Inget vidare När vi besökte hotellet var det en byggarbetsplats mitt uppe i fullskalig renovering. Ingen resturang öppen. Provisorisk reception och ingen vidare hjälpsam personal. Det var inte vad vi förväntade oss av ett hotell med 5 stjärnor. Dock var rummen fina och rena. När renoveringen är klar tror jag det kan vara ett fint ställe att bo på. ##### Casper Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tony 31 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Would come again Areca is a great place to stay for those who want to do their own thing and explore by own vehicles. It is 15min drive away from patong which is perfect for those who don’t want to hear the music and hassle all the time. We found it great value for budget travel. At the moment they are renovating the other building of the hotel, this however did not disturb the peace at all. Great breakfast and big parking. Would come again! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/18EFB6C0FA763FB0FCD2F13B19DBC58CFA7F418A1672475746187.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tony Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Julius 13 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Renovation going on at the hotel, didn't disturb me because my room was on the 2nd building. Air inside the hotel moist and still, in the room air-con was ok. Spa was closed, swimming pool ok for kids maybe. Gym was minimal. Breakfast in a cafe next to hotel, was ok but small. ##### Julius Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stefan 21 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bra beläget hotell Hotellet ligger centralt på Phuket med närhet till många besöksmål. Dock ej strandnära. ##### Stefan Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex 15 Jan 2022 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Brilliant staff. The most friendly and accommodating staff I’ve encountered. Nothing was too much trouble. I had a desk, office chair and router installed in my room. Plus I got a bigger TV!
