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.
