About the hotel:
The hotel is located on very nice & quiet beach. Everyone likes it but there is one room where has problems ; air-conditioned is not cool , so I requested the hotel to change to the new room. Fortunately,there is a room for changing for that night , although new room isn t as clean and new as old room , but it s ok !!. Totally,we are still impressed with this hotel. If there is any chance,I will come back to there again

About the hotel:
The beachfront bungalows were just amazing! An outdoor shower inside the bungalow and a private small pool in the backyard. Never seen anything like it, you could watch the sunset in the early evening. Located on a nice remote stretch of beach in between two rockformations. There was absolutely no one there to bother you. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, breakfast was very good with a wide choice, so was the diner. Stayed there for 5 nights and never left the premises.
The ocean was a bit wild (late august) but you could still enter the water, this was for me the only (minor) downside. Had a great stay and would definetely go there again!
About the reservation service:
Worked just perfect, not much more expensive than booking directly at the hotel and works just fine!

About the hotel:
Andaman White Beach Resort will be a fantastic resort... when rennovations are complete.
My partner and I were very disappointed when we recently visited to find that half of the resort was under construction and the pool was out of order.
Due to it s location, well away from Phuket town and Patong (about 1400 baht return), it makes sense to stay at Andaman White Beach Resort if you are looking for a private break to read in the sun, have a massage and enjoy a bit of R&R. They have other excursions but you re best to head out and spend a few nights at Phi Phi Island Village Resort if you re keen to snorkel etc. Divine.
With half the place cordoned off and no pool, we weren t left with much to do. Also our Sea View Room was really more of a sea glimpse room - quite different to the view posted on the website. However, it woudl be fair to say that the room we were landed with was the dud of about 20 Sea View rooms - some had spectacular views.
However, on complaining that the accommodation was not really what we had lead to believe and our disappointment with 50% of the resort under construction, the operations manager understood our issues and arranged for us to be moved to a beach front suite with our own pool. A very lovely room - highly recommended.
The Thai food was pretty good, didn t sample the Italian. massages in the Spa were also great - although we assume that one of the rennovations was for an updated Spa.
We d go back again. We d just be wary of checking with the resort before we went to ensure we weren t in the middle of a building site again.

About the hotel:
We really enjoyed our stay in this resort. Beautiful quite place, very friendly and service oriented people. The only minor point is that it s located quite far from other activities, so you need transportation or take a taxi. (Taxis are relatively expensive)
For people that are looking for a beautiful and a peaceful environment, I can definately recommend this place.
Restaurant is good, a little expensive (relative to normal Thai restaurants.
About the reservation service:
I find their service excellent, and although it s a virtual Internet company the way they handle it, makes it feel quite personal.

About the hotel:
OK, before our holiday, I tried reading through the reviews to get an idea of what to expect at this hotel. After spending a week at this hotel, I have to say that whoever wrote the negative comments about this hotel must have either stayed at another hotel altogether or have had such high expectations of the top notch resorts like banyan tree or amanpuri with their top notch room rates. Having been to many of the accomodations in Thailand, I think this hotel is really value for money The villa was well equipped and had a nice patio to relax in. They have a nice pool to relax at and from the poolside, you can sit at the deckchairs to view the sea and sunset, sipping your favorite cocktail which by the way is one for one between 6pm to 7pm. There are deckchairs placed at the beach too. The beach is really quite fantastic... very private, clean and scenic. To walk from the villa to the beach is not far.
The spread for the buffet breakfast is reasonable for the hotel of this standard.
Staff at the hotel are friendly and always willing to accomodate in the typical thai fashion.
I would certainly recommend this hotel as it is one of the better ones on the island in terms of beach and hotel facility.
However, if you are looking for the Patong Nightlife everyday, then this may not be for you as it is rather isolated and about 30-40 mins drive to Patong beach. It would be adviseable to rent a car if you plan to explore the rest of the island. Many shopping malls like central, some waterfalls and pub hopping at Patong would require a set of wheels for easy mobility.
About the reservation service:
Fast and Easy. Very reliable. Have used them a few times.

About the hotel:
Wonderful Wonderful.
This is the best resort I ve ever been. In the picture, resort looks sort of worn out, but it is actually not. The place is kept very neat and I was surprized that there were really no bugs or mosquitos!
I ve been to Patong area too, but trust me, this resort might be some distance to get to somewhere else, but if you are really looking for some quality vacation, go for Andaman White Beach Resort!!!! I wish I could attach a picture taken at the resort here..
Food is EXCELLENT too!!!!! I tried some food in Phuket town and in Patong, too, but the resort has the best the best food.
I hope this would be a helpful comment, too. We were actually looking for beach access room but they were fully booked so had to go for sea view. Guess what? I think sea view is better. If you get be3ach access room, you ll probably have to deal with a lot of bugs and some privacy problem because people using the pool or those trying to get to the beach have no choice but to trespass your villa. Distance wise, no difference at all. I say GO FOR SEA VIEW VILLA!!!!
+
We have also went for Phi Phi Island tour provided by the resort for 2900Bht. If you re really looking for snorkling and some adventures, I suggest go for some other package. But if you re more into tour, I guess it could be a good choice for you.
anyway, I d give 100% shot for Andaman White Beach Resort, if I were you.
(massage and spa are a little costly, compared to other places downtown by the way)

We enjoyed our five-night stay at this hotel: very charming, beautiful sea view from our superior room, wonderful staff. Too bad we experienced a problem with the room door that wouldn t lock. This happened every day despite our repeated complaints. Also, the food was too expensive.
About the reservation service:
Good. No problem.

About the hotel:
It’s a cute little resort tucked away in a jungle-looking area right on the beach which gives it a feeling of wilderness. Our superior room was cozy with a lovely view of the sea and a beautiful bathroom.
Unfortunately, the resort is old and its wooden structure and furniture are run down. The vegetation in the resort and the beach are neglected: half burned leaves, areas with a dead lawn, lots of empty bottles, broken pieces of wood, abandoned sandals, even a florescent light tube washed away by the waves. I noticed this trash on our first day there.
Even worse, when we checked in, and after four hours of having to wait in the lobby, we found several problems in the room. Our room was Number 200. The problems were: (1) AC blowing warm air, (2) room door didn’t lock, (3) pillows filthy.
Regarding the door lock, we complained about it every day of our stay there (5 days out of 5). The first time, someone came with a screwdriver to try to solve the problem. It didn’t work. We told them again. Same result. We complained again, nobody seemed to care. We demanded to see the manager on the third day who then promised us that a new lock would be installed the following day, our day 4 out of 5. Nothing was done about it! In the end we just gave up because every time we talked to them about the problem was stressful to us. It simply was not worth the effort and frustration.
We would NEVER stay in this resort again!!
