About the hotel: Novotel - what can one say. Its grand entrance, pools and seaview are amazing and create for a wonderful stay in a resort located a stones throw from the heart of the shopping/dining strip. The rooms were clean and cosy and maintained twice a day.....Buffet breakfast was quality and offered something for everyone. Did I really not try those scrumptious pastries!!! Who could fit in all the glorious food that was on offer. The staff at the Novotel are the diamonds in this fine establishment. They deserve a big mention and an even bigger thank-you. Always at your service, smilin, warm and ready to assist in any way they can. From the ladies attending the rooms to the waiters, pool boys, gardeners etc. Well done to all at the Novotel a truly memorable stay and holiday in Phuket!!! PS. for those looking for a fabulous nite out food & entertainment, you can t go past the PORT restaurant. Located next to Haagen Daaz Ice creamery on the main road in Phuket-directly across from the beach. Offering both Thai and Continental, top quality and the entertainment - believe me once wasn t enough. Would visit Phuket again just to experience the food and entertainment at the PORT.
About the reservation service: Excellent, very easy to use, responses are timely and very secure and safe.
About the hotel: Congratulations to Novotel Phuket. Very kind team. Impeccable service. Perfect room service.
A nice place to go with the family.
Best Regards
Julio Soares and Family
About the hotel: My husband, six year old daughter and I enjoyed our 2-night stay at Novotel Coralia. We had an initial hiccup - getting a room with an overflowing toilet, but the staff were helpful in resolving this by changing our room. The scenic views from this property are amongst the best on the island as it is situated on the cliff. However, not all the rooms have a seaview. The hotel is separated from the beach by a road, but you can walk and reach the quieter, northern part of Patong Beach in 2 minutes. Novotel Coralia is charming with touches of Thai in the overall architecture as well as the furnishing in the rooms, but could do with a bit of renovation overall. If you are travelling with small children or do not like to climb too many stairs, then I would advise that you ask for a room close to the lobby - room in the 300 & 400 series. There are no lifts since the hotel is built on the hillside in tiers and if you are in the rooms farthest from the lobby, restaurant and pool areas, this would mean having to climb atleast 4-5 flights of stairs.
About the reservation service: Excellent!!! I was a bit apprehensive of booking online, having just had a bad experience with another travel site which confirmed a room in phuket and then reverted 2 days later saying that the room was not available. Sawadee with its quick response time and excellent service, restored my faith in online bookings and last minute deals.
About the hotel: This was the second time(last year at the same time of year) that we ve stayed at the Novotel. We originally picked it for their 3 pools which cascade down onto each other,the all inclusive breakfast and the fact that it is about a 20min walk out of the main shopping area.
All of the above remain true for this stay. Staff are very friendly although most can not help with specific enquiries due to the language barrier.Excellent security.I was fairly disturbed by house keeping refusing to believe that a hair dryer was cutting in and out depending on how you held it. At first they refused to replace the dryer telling me that it was OK. I really had to push the point that the dryer was dangerous. As the attendant went to change the dryer with another one,a part of the dryer fell off and hit the ground!
I would probably look at accomodation in other hotels near the Novotel next time to see what s on offer. A lot of hotels are nearing completion around Patong. Be careful booking a trip to the Phi Phi islands...it sounds like a great trip but bare in mind that the isalnds are 40km away from Phuket and unless the water is like glass and at low tide, approx half of the people on the boat will be sick. My partner and I picked a trip where there were 4 large outboard motors rather than trips which had only 2 motors in the hope of a faster and smoother trip. WRONG!!!Many people were sick including my partner as the boat was basically air borne on a 3 to 4 foot swell(which isn t that big). We met many people who did the trip with various forms of transport and all of them got really sick.
If you choose to do so, a tuk tuk ride in or out of Patong to the hotel was 100bht. Settle on the price first or go to another tuk tuk.
So yes I d definitiely go pack to Phuket and the Patong area but I d look for alternative accomodation.
About the reservation service: Fine, no problems. Prompt return of enquiries was very helpful.
About the hotel: i do travel all over asia almost every other week. So I know the standard of hospitality business.
My experience at the Novotel last week was the worst. I will never stay there.
I am wondering how they survie the competition..and who added the comment below..they must be own staff..
About the hotel: Great hotel with friendly staff, and a very tasty breakfast buffet. Location is also great, just a short walk from Patong beach and nightlife. And also easy to walk to Kalim beach if you just wanna relax and avoid the crowds.
One minus tough. Rooms are clean, but they are not good with cleaning the balconies. We actually had a big terrace on the ground floor, but the funiture was dirty and the tiles where growing... Would have been nice with some private sunbeds on the terrace?
About the reservation service: Great! But the hotel had some doubts about the so called eVoucher upon check-in. Also hotel tried to charge us for pick-up at the airport altough we prepaid it.
About the hotel: Great location. The breakfast is pretty decent. I would avoid using the car service from the hotel. It will be cheaper and easier if you just reserve a car at the airport (around 550Bht).
The fitness facility is pretty good. Since there are three pools, you will never feel crowded.
About the reservation service: Excellent as always.
About the hotel: This is my second time staying at Novotel and I will probably come back again. The hotel is in a perfect location right next to Patong Beach but yet just far enough away that it is nice and quiet at the resort. The staff are very courteous and friendly. I can t wait to come back again! Thank you Novotel!
About the reservation service: Wonderful service as always. I use Sawadee.com for most, if not all of my bookings. Keep up the good work!
