PHUKET - the Hotel

so.

this is where we stayed.


Phuket Island View Hotel @ Karon.

It wasn't half bad really... in my opinion it had all the makings of a fab' holiday resort...

- Huge, spacious Hotel grounds



- Standard rooms which make for cheap, comfy accommodation (comes with pretty lil things all around the Hotel room and grounds too)


- Plenty of pools with cool water features


- Fab' location right across from Karon Beach (woohooo!!)
- Decent buffet spread for brekkie
- Near the shops yet not right smack in the middle of town where you'll be caught in traffic, crowds, noise and booze

But i am sOOOoooooo not going to stay with them again.
EVER!!!
The service was just B.A.D. Bad! The staff at the Front Desk were rude... the ones in Housekeeping were too!
YF made bookings for a twin-sharing room for 3 pax but at the point of check-in, they accused us of trying to trick them and made us pay for an additional bed. We didn't need one (cos we were comfortable sleeping on a Queen together) but they practically insisted! We had to pay an additional 70sgd per night wtf.
So after we agreed to pay, they had their Housekeeping come round with the additional bed which they set up with awfully grouchy-looking faces. wtf! We were paying for the Goddamn Roll-away Bed ok?!
And and and, the stupid woman changing linens and amenities refused to give us extra towels! Hellooooooooo you blardy eejit! We're paying for 3 so when no towels for 3?! wtf.wtf.wtf!!!
The pool. Sigh :( Huge, yea. Lounge chairs, check. Cool water features, check. But the water was blardy DIRTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf. cloudy max. yucks yucks yucks! And we saw soiled diapers by the pool! Eeeeeuwww! Oh and ciggie butts all ard wtf.
So...
Yup.
I am so NOT going back there.
Ends rants with pretty piccies :)
