Andara Resort and Villas

I honestly didn't find any disadvantages to this hotel! In Thailand, tipping is not mandatory, but in this hotel when you ask for an amenity at the pool or restaurant, they automatically include 10%! Maybe I didn't see it in the small letters but you can ask. For everything else, you can book blindly 100% recommended! I think if they had an all-inclusive plan it would be the best in Phuket! Another mini disadvantage they have is that they don't have a private beach, but they take you to the nearest beach at no cost :) super!

Breakfast delicious, welcome gift nice. Room is nice. Housekeeper is willing to help. Overall a good experience.

A bit out of town but the complimentary taxi was good breakfast was ok

Very nice hotel nd good service, nice breakfast

Wonderful stay. Stayed in a 3 bedroom with pool villa. Villa was cleaned and well kept. Comes with a big room with king size bed and bigg bath room with deep bath tub. The other 2 rooms are twin beds and a queen bed. Each room has its own attached bathroom. There is an additional toilet at the living room area which is very convenient for big families. They have a huge round dining table. Kitchen comes with oven, microwave, coffee maker, stove, cutlery, plates, cups, bowls etc. No dish washer but you can wash dishes. Dishwashing liquid is given with sponge. They had welcome messages with flowers and towel animals. Buggy service is always prompt in arrival when requested for. Room service is also prompt. Staff are all friendly and help you with every query. Staff can speak English well enough to converse. They will help you book taxi should you want to travel anywhere. There is a shop within the hotel that sells swimming and fashion accessories. Breakfast for me was so so for me, great service but the buffet spread wasn't that extensive. You can order eggs, assortment of coffee and tea from thier menu. Then go to the buffet spread for confectionary, fruits, chinese dim sum, salad and rice dishes. Just next to the restaurant is the hotel pool along with a jacuzzi... you get a view of the sea. Pool chairs are lined up with towels on standby. As my room had a pool we did not utilise the hotel pool. From the lobby you would need to walk up alley and down to the first floor to take the buggy. So for elderly or wheel chair bound guests it maybe a challenge but am sure the hotel will probably provide buggy service from the lobby area for such guests if required. The location of the hotel is near kamala beach. The hotel has a free ferry service to drop you at kamala beach to and fro. Restaurants, shops and massage services are all available. Did not utilise the spa so can't comment. Kamala beach is not as busy as Patong beach so if you like a more peaceful atmosphere the location is fit for you. There is a convenience store about a 5 to 7 min walk away from the hotel. Taxi service is also available just outside the hotel. Patong is about a 20 min ride away from the hotel.

It was a great vacation home. Suite was huge and staffs were kind. They offer free shuttle to Kamala beach, which was very convenient.
