THAVORN BEACH VILLAGE RESORT & SPA PHUKET

My husband and I stayed there for 5 days, everything was great, but i have to say that the resort is really big! We got lost many times at night when trying to find our room, so putting a map or helpful banners would be awesome!! and i think they should put on more lights at night as we almost stepped over a frog twice!

i stayed in the hotel for 7 nights and 8 days to attend a training. The serenity of the place and the soothing sea view are very refreshing especially if you are in a training for the most part of the day. I like the various plants in the area, including an herb garden and an orchid garden. The place is very lush and green and the mountain villas are nicely fitted with the mountain as background. I also like best the Filipino staff and interns who are kind and smiling. in fact, if you will not talk to them, you will not know they are interns as they perform their duties like professional hotel service staff. In particular, I would like to commend the supervisors Kim and Ram. They are very professional and supportive. I also would like to comment the interns Angel (or should I say Angels as there are two of them), Nigel and Aira. They are also very professional in their dealing with guests. i stayed in the hotel for 7 nights and 8 days to attend a training.

I also had great time swimming in the huge open space pool. Lastly, i left my earrings upon check out and the staff who found them, turned them over to management. Thank you Thavorn for the great stay!!!

Hotel pool and grounds beautiful breakfast we found to be excellent great variety we found that all staff members where very friendly and went out of their way to make sure all your needs where meet with a special mention to staff members Kag,Ni,Rum,Oil and Tang for going above and beyond and making our stay that much more enjoyable . We found our room to be very nice clean and very comfortable there is also animals within the hotel grounds (rabbits ,tortoises and birds to name a few ) which is real nice to interact with we really enjoyed our stay here and we will definitely be back

We chose to stay here for a bleated honeymoon in a beach cottage on the beach. It did not disappoint, the views of the bay and sounds of the waves crashing on the beach was magical both after a day our adventure and to wake up to! Slight hiccup with check in but we did arrive 5 hours before hand. Our room was simple but everything we wanted, comfortable bed, cold air conditioning and the location of our cottage was relatively private. We were surprised with a lovely floral bed decoration and during our stay requested some animal towels - the staff did not disappoint! Room was cleaned daily, complimentary water and toiletries throughout our stay. The pool was fantastic, and was always kept in pristine condition. There were a few renovations going on but did not hinder our stay at all. It was quite cool to watch the Thai people work and the effort they put in I'm sure will reflect on the finished product. We dined at the Old Siam one night, beach front lit by coloured lanterns and the food was delicious and reasonably priced for hotel pricing. We had duck and chicken curry in a coconut! Crocodile pool bar was great as was sitting on bean bags over looking the beach. The pool was awesome for a quick dip to cool off then lounge in the sun with a cocktail or fresh coconut. There were baby rabbits to cuddle and a cool old tortoise getting around. The people here really love their animals. Shuttle to Patong was complimentary at certain times or a tuk tuk or taxi cost 400 baht one way. The staff here were fantastic, from the cleansers, grounds people, room porters and a few special mentions go to Kim who booked a tour for us cheaper than their website and was helpful in a few other ways. Ni and Bow in the restaurant were lovely to speak with and accommodating as were Rum and the few trainees they had on in their last week, nothing was too much trouble. We are looking forward to returning with our children very soon! Hot tip! Book direct and you get VIP status, complimentary room with drinks and snacks as well as some other perks including return airport transfers. Breakfast was included and as all we wanted was an omelette and coffee it certainly ticked our boxes. There was fruit and a daily selection of Asian dishes as well as pancakes, juice, cereal and pastries.

Stayed for 9 days in a Pool access room. 2 adults & 1 child. Was warmly greeted by Kim upon check-in and personally shown to our room. She even carried my child's carry-on bag. Buffet breakfast served at Marisa restaurant was ok for some of the Asian dishes served was a tad tasteless. We pre-purchased their 'Half-board' deal upon booking (600 Baht p/p) for a choice of either lunch or dinner and breakfast. The breakfast part was useless as the room deal we got already included this. So we only used it for dinner which was 3 courses. However, BEWARE! Website says drinks included ( juice, soft drinks). You will be billed for drinks!!! We had to argue with them for nearly an hour with a few staff involved, that their website states it for free ( us, showing them what was stated on their website on our phones! ) but they will tell you it has to be an all "inclusive " deal ('''). They mentioned that they will soon amend their website about this but in the meantime you're entitled to what you've paid for! The rooms are showing their age but no big hassle ( although the plug in our spa was broken, won't lift to drain the water hence, only used it once ). Rooms cleaned daily and quite thoroughly with fresh shower & beach towels everyday. Bed was absolutely comfortable and pillows fluffy and nice. Aircon in the room emits a fair humming noise but you'll soon get used to it. The one major downside of this hotel is the price of food! Be ready to spend nearly AUD$50 for a burger, a pizza & 2 soft drinks for lunch ( then multiply that however many times you would eat lunch there during your stay! ). The pool is amazingly huge & beautiful! Surrounded by plants & tropical trees, flowers & ferns ( hence, a pool-guy always in the water collecting fallen leaves to keep the pool tidy ). A few cute shallow pools scattered around for the lil kiddies/babies too. Garden is just amazing!!! Seriously amazing! Beachfront only a few metres away from the pools but rocky. Beach sandals required. Sip your cocktails sitting on bean bags overlooking the beach or have dinner at The Old Siam beachfront. Blissful!!! Special mention to staff that made our stay more enjoyable by providing excellent service, above & beyond their duty: Eco, Ram, Angel, Sinead.
