On arrival, I insisted on inspecting the room first. I've learned these days to always do that before I pay. There is no lift, so we walked up the stairs to be greeted by wafts of **** smoke smells. That sets the scene for this place. The rooms are nice and clean and pretty spacious. They all have amazing sea views. The problem is, there are no non smoking areas. There's cigarette and **** smoking everywhere. You literally can't sit by the pool after lunchtime without getting stoned! And I hate the smell of ******** and we don't smoke so we really did not come to the right place. In the morning, the debris from the parties of the downstairs rooms are all over the grass. Empty bottles, chip packets, cigarette butts, all around the sun loungers down by the pool. We were shocked that the hotel staff had not cleaned it up prior to 9am and us getting to the pool. They say they have a 24/7 service desk but we got stuck in Charong at some expats house, no taxi service availabe, uber didn't work, so we tried calling the hotel for an hour (9:15pm - 10pm) to see if they could organise a taxi for us, but they don't answer the phone. When we finally got back, there's a guy doing accounts or something on the front desk and I asked him why they don't answer the phone. He told me they don't answer it at night. The breakfast buffet is budget. The bacon is kept with the chef so you can't help yourself. The sausages look like floor sweepings (and one bite told me that's the case). There's barely a smile from any of the staff. Really terrible experience. If you're just after a room that's central and clean,and you can smoke **** and cigarettes all you like, but you don't care for the rest of the experience, then this is the place for you. The only other bonus was that there's no kids so the pool while stinky of smoke, is at least quiet.
We loved this hotel, upon arrival we received the complimentary coconut lolly which was amazing after a long day travelling :) a nice touch We ate in the restaurant and left our luggage with reception until we had finished eating. We were both then taken to our room on the electric cart which was fun, We woke up refreshed the next morning, the bed was extremely large and comfortable, the room is well equipped with everything we required ( although a bottle opener would have been the only thing we really needed) Breakfast was plentiful, even down to eggs Benedict cooked to order included which was my favourite, also noodles, breads, pastries and meats on offer, something for everyone. Anyway we knew we wanted to travel the country so spoke with reception and explained we wouldn’t be around for 6 days and that we would be leaving belongings in the room, they were intrigued to know where we were heading and engaged in conversation which was nice, We returned 6 days later from our travels to relax for our last 4 days before we travelled home, upon arrival the receptionist welcomed us back and instantly asked how our travels went, it was nice to be recognised :) . The room again was spotlessly clean upon our return and believe me it was needed after we flew back in from Khaosan road Bangkok, We had a shower and put the provided silk gowns on and just sat on the balcony to reflect on the past 6 days, It’s a hotel to lay around and relax…….. or do what we did and enjoy the beautiful beach of Nai Harn which is 5 minutes walk away offering some beautiful restaurants to watch the sun go down OR travel the full country and go back to enjoy the last few days. It really was a perfect trip for me and my partner, and we would definitely return. A massive credit to all of the staff at this hotel :) they work so hard and it shows here because the level of professionalism from all of them is clear :) Well done Sunsuri Phuket and we hope to see you all again soon , P.s we were in room 1206 :)
