Phuket Orchid Resort and Spa

Bilik berbau hapak, ada serangga kecil 🦟, dan bintik kuning pada cadar sangat menjijikkan, tetapi kakitangan enggan menukarnya! Kami menempah bilik keluarga dengan dua katil untuk empat malam, tetapi kami diberikan di sudut yang paling gelap. Kami ingin menaik taraf bilik, tetapi mereka mengatakan itu sudah bilik terbaik. Untuk menukar bilik, kami hanya boleh menaik taraf, dan mereka tidak akan memulangkan wang. Mereka memberi kami bilik tiga orang dengan katil tambahan yang kecil, menjadikan bilik sangat sempit. Mereka tidak mahu memulangkan perbezaan harga untuk empat malam, sebaliknya mereka menawarkan dua urutan Thai, 481 setiap orang untuk satu jam. Namun, mereka terlalu kedekut dengan minyak urut, dan dua wanita tua itu hanya mengurut saya dan suami saya selama 40 minit sebelum selesai! **Kemudahan:** Teruk **Kebersihan:** Teruk **Persekitaran:** Teruk **Perkhidmatan:** Teruk

Sejujurnya, saya masih ingat ekspresi jengkel di kaunter hadapan. Sarapan hotel sangat tidak sedap. Setiap hari saya hanya makan sebiji pisang, sebiji telur, segelas susu, dan beberapa potong tembikai. Saya cadangkan bagi yang membawa anak-anak kecil, belilah roti atau apa-apa makanan tambahan. Malam pertama saya menginap di tepi jalan, bising sampai tak dapat tidur semalaman. Terpaksa memberanikan diri untuk minta tukar bilik, dan ekspresi jengkel pekerja itu masih saya ingat sampai sekarang. Kononnya ada tempat simpan bagasi, tapi tiada siapa yang jaga, mereka cuma letakkannya di tengah-tengah jalan. Jangan sekali-kali simpan barang berharga di sana. Kelebihannya, pantai hanya 5 minit berjalan kaki, dan ada taman tema air sendiri yang disukai kanak-kanak. Oh ya: Jangan sekali-kali tukar wang di lorong seberang jalan!!!

Makan di tengah-tengah segerombolan lalat, meja depan yang mendiskriminasi orang Cina, dan mempunyai bilik yang diberikan kepada saya di tepi jalan—saya meminta katil double dan bilik di sebelah lif, tetapi katil double itu hanyalah dua tilam yang disatukan. Membayar wang dan didiskriminasi oleh meja depan adalah pengalaman yang mengerikan.

Penilaian keseluruhan: Negatif. Tidak disyorkan sama sekali. Ini adalah hotel terburuk yang pernah saya tinggali sepanjang perjalanan saya ke Thailand, tiada bar. Ia lebih teruk daripada hotel tepi pantai 90 RMB semasa di luar musim. 1. Banyak bilik di Hotel Orchid betul-betul di sebelah jalan. Jika anda menempah jenis bilik yang paling asas, anda pasti akan diberikan bilik di tepi jalan. Bunyi bising dari motosikal dan tuk-tuk sepanjang malam akan membuatkan anda terjaga. Terdapat juga bunyi latihan pembinaan bermula jam 9 pagi. 2. Bilik mempunyai bau hapak yang sangat kuat, bukan hanya sedikit, tetapi bau hapak yang sangat kuat dan tajam. 3. Hotel ini kerap mengalami gangguan bekalan elektrik pada waktu malam. Saya menukar bilik pada hari berikutnya, tetapi masalah itu berterusan. 4. Kerana terdapat ramai kanak-kanak, ia adalah sangat bising, menjadikannya mustahil untuk tidur pada siang hari. 5. Arah penghawa dingin tidak dapat dilaraskan, menyebabkan sakit kepala. 6. Kolam renang mempunyai bau pembasmi kuman yang kuat. 7. Terdapat sangat sedikit restoran dan kedai berdekatan, tidak sehebat di sekitar bulatan Karon. 8. Semasa musim hujan, ombak di Pantai Karon terlalu besar, selalunya sukar untuk berenang. Ia jauh lebih rendah daripada pasir Pantai Kata yang tenang dan halus. Saya cadangkan tinggal di Kata semasa musim hujan, bukan Karon.

Hotel yang bagus untuk percutian keluarga. Perkarangannya cantik. Saya teragak-agak apabila saya menempah selepas membaca pelbagai ulasan, tetapi penginapan kami adalah indah. Sarapan pagi adalah biasa-biasa saja, tetapi kami mendapati banyak untuk dimakan. Terdapat kafe berdekatan untuk setiap citarasa. Kelebihan utama ialah laut berada dalam jarak tiga minit berjalan kaki, dan kawasan air di lokasi adalah penyelamat dalam cuaca panas yang terik. Saya pasti mengesyorkannya.

Perfect location near the beach. I did not expect much but to my surprise the hotel rooms are clean and comfortable .The staff were helpful and accomodating and breakfast is great featuring variety of pastries and local dishes. Everyone in the family enjoyed the swimming pool & the slide.

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was comfortable, and the overall environment was nice and relaxing. One of the highlights was the variety of swimming pools available, with options suitable for both adults and children, making it great for families. The location is also excellent — just a 2-minute walk to Karon Beach. The water was crystal clear and beautiful, although the waves were quite strong during our visit. The only downside was that we noticed some ants in the room. Other than that, everything was enjoyable, and we had a good experience overall.

Our three nights day was stunning. Way better than I expected. As a long time adventure traveler, I tend to be a little cynical about these places, expecting them to be a little commercial and/or culturally “basic“. I booked so that my son could enjoy the slides, but I had a lovely time too. The vibe was kind, relaxed, yet conscientious and principled. The patrons were an international mix; they felt educated; chill, occasionally stylish, yet unpretentious, I’d say. Large sprawling gardens that I got lost in every day without fail, lol; and that big Buddha head with the built-in swim up bar – wow, love! Even the slides looked way cooler than in the photos, with the palm trees behind them – stunning. Our room was very nice with everything one might need including excellent aircon. I appreciated the public sorting bins in the grounds with separate recycling, compostables and landfill bins – a significant yet pleasant surprise after seeing how much this part of Thailand is struggling with plastic /rubbish. From the time we arrived, the staff were so kind and attentive. I had a sprained ankle and they kindly gave me a bag of ice to rest with. Another time we asked for our water to be replenished as we were going back to our room; somehow the water was waiting for us by the time we got there. I’m not sure what sorcery managed that! There’s a Medical Centre on site that was very helpful as my son had just had a cat scratch on Phi phi Island. They arranged a taxi ride to the main doctor surgery for treatment and then drive us back. It cost significantly less than what we’d been quoted on the island. The pool attendants of course are trying to marshal the kids so that they don’t have accidents; they are firm but fair and yet the Scallywaggs still get away with it… breakfast is an international banquet with just about anything you might wish for. Delicious and nutritious. The hotel is very close to the beach as well where there are great sunsets to be enjoyed. The head of the big Buddha can be seen from the beach. Great shops, street eats, restaurants and markets in close proximity. Perfect.

The rooms are basic but comfortable with no amenities. We only stayed for a night so not much of the problem to us. The pool was very busy, maybe due to lots of tourists so no quiet spots. People with kids would love the slides.The in- pool bar only accept cash or card cant sign in ( who carries cash on card when swimming). Waiting area is very hot, no aircon or fans available. Especially when we had a late flight but had to check out at 12pm. Breakfast had a good choice but some fruits finished by the time we got to it. But overall lots of food available. The location is excellent for good food and massage places just across the road.
