This hotel is fine for a night or two if you're just kind of waiting to get to the airport and wanna chill by the pool. But if you want to see phuket, this hotel is not a great location at all. There is loud construction right across the street and only a few restaurants nearby. Also, there is no shopping or salons or movie theatre or anything within walking distance. You can get to Kammala beach but it's a bit of an inconvenient walk down a busy road with no sidewalks. The lady at the front is SO NICE and constantly asked if I wanted an extra beach mat, wanted to eat with her and her husband, etc.. So I mean if you are just gonna chill there it's totally fine but like I said, not much to do around the area at all.
