Aloha Villa, Patong Beach, Phuket, Thailand

Aloha villa (rat-u-thit), was 2000 a night, 300 joiner fee advertised, rooms very average and TV had about 3 channels so was stuck with CNN for my 20 hour shaking in my bed sessions

The Aspasia Phuket - Kata Beach
I stayed there already 3 times, one of my preferred hotels,

very quiet in low season, 2 great pools with view down to the beach
easy walk down to kata for eating
free internet access in any room, over rj45 network, so your notebook can be online all the time, or wlan access in the pool area
there is a big free business center as well, where you can do internet

rooms are very spacious and breakfast is great
no problem sitting on the terasse on a rainy day
easy access from the parking, enough space for parking car

free dvd player for your room and a large collection of dvds

some rooms are owned by farangs and rented by the management, so some have different styles of interior.

the standard rooms are really big,
the forest edge suites have two rooms with a/c and a kitchen area

Baan Laimai Beach Resort and Spa

I stayed there in May-05 and Nov-05 Never had a problem taking a girl back, no joiner fee & they didn't even have to leave their ID cards behind. It's a great hotel with a lovely pool. Totally recommend the place
Also I e-mailed Baan Laimai before I booked and they said "No joiner fee, promotion" - print the e-mail & take with you just in case

Baan Sukhothai Hotel and Spa Phuket, Patong Beach Thailand

baan sukothai is given off in a lot off flight + hotel packages in oz. they throw in patong merlin and baan sukothai on most packages, 1 cheaper than the other.

room i had was small, and not that good in the aircon and bathroom areas.
yes close to the action, noise not a real problem, 1000 bt joiner when i stayed there, phone calls at 0730 in the morning to get your BG out of there before the normal people arise and see BGs leaving the hotel.
if you can change your package to flights only, or with a couple on nights there, then your own accom worked out, do that.
most unfriendly hotel i stayed at in los

It is a great property, but there are 3 different standards of rooms. The basic is the "standard" wing which is as you would expect, standard and backs onto the main drag, so it is noisy.

The other wing is the "deluxe" wing down the back, not too noisy and rooms better.

I have only ever stayed in the "water houses" which are really nice, and very quiet, but expensive. The bathrooms alone are about the size of the standard rooms, well not quite but you get the idea.

And it is definitely NOT GF or even Thai friendly. Had to go to reception so our Thai male friend could even enter the premises.

I stayed there last year. I found it be a good hotel; noise wasn't an issue & the staff were really friendly.
However, it is not guest friendly. The mongering crowd is not their "target audience" so to speak & they make that pretty clear.....so fair enough it is their prerogative

()changed to Baan Yin Dee Boutique Resort, Phuket, Patong Beach, Thailand

Ban Yin Dee is very, very gf. They will treat your girls like fully registered guests. One of the best hotels in Patong IMHO, only downsides are high cost and rather remote location
(Gildas 05. Jan.2006)

i am a regular visitor at baan yin dee, and its magnificent!
as long as you are discreet, and not loud, you will have zero problems, and more importantly, they give no attitude whatsoever to any girls.
my 1st 4 times ive stayed there, and they were all at least 1 week stays, it was always with the same girl, so they knew her as much as me.
this last trip, i butterflyed, had a different girl every night and never had a problem.
the owners and the staff are great.
also, a great place to have a nice romantic, classy dinner. if your into that

Banglabungalow

Stayed there last November when moving out of the house. The rooms are small, but adequate. The AC is too bloody cold for my liking. Get a room down the back, as the front ones are too noisy with Soi Lion being just at the entrance. I have no idea how much we paid, as the misses took care of that.
A couple of nice friendly Burmese girls running the place.
Will be staying there again in March. Its just convenient

Banthai Beach Resort, Patong Beach, Phuket, Thailand
just stayed here 2 nights:

one of the worst stays i can remember in thailand.
paid 3700 for deluxe pool access room. nothing special at all
in the afternoon yesterday my gf's friends came over tog o swimming and we treated like criminals, security guard following them and me!! after i met them out front and stated they were there to swim. now, some bm's have seen these girls and they dress very nice, and nothing outlandish. not walking around dripping with gold or tattoos
then everytime i went to sign for drinks or anything my whole stay it was like going through a background check!!
and the worst happened this morning. the phone rang at 7am asking if i check out today, i say yes. they then say they come check mini-bar! at 7am! i asked what time it is, reply was 7am and i then screamed my lungs out and hung up on them
needless to say i wouldnt stay with them again

the only thing nice i can say is there are so many hot jap-chinese girls walking around the hotel

Baumanburi, Phuket

Review to my hotel Baumanburi Resort in Patong (12.03 - 04.04.07)

I´ve stayed in Baumanburi Resort for 3 weeks and returned to Germany this wednesday ...
When I searched for Baumanburi Resort in this forum, I didn´t find positive postings and was afraid before I left for Thailand. But I was surprized in a positiv way. First, staff was really nice and much more female staff worked in this hotel, even in the night at reception than mentionend in earlier postings.
My room was in the second floor to the roadside. It was a very clean room with a doublesize bed, which is much better for two people There was also a deposite safe inside the room which is free of charge. I just gave once 200 Baht to the cleaning woman in the beginning of my holidays and got daily 4 towels. The fee for my gf - know her for long - was 500 Baht/night (regular fee) but I soon could reduce to 300 as the found out that I´m not a butterfly. TV and air conditioning system worked fine. Breakfast was really o.k. although I very often prefered to sleep longer and go for brunch with thai food. The pool area is huge, maybe a bit more space for chairs would be great. In the neighbourhood will be build up a new hotel or complex. But I just felt twice bored by the noise of the working machines, at other days I couldn´t even see them. Once I checked out the spa area. I went for the 1 hour oily thai massage with sauna at the end which was 1080 Baht and very relaxing before I picked up my girl to go out. Altogether for me Baumanburi Resort wasn´t a lemon at all. I could imagine to stay there a second time.

Greetings ... Bernie
