Andrea Engel 2009-11-02	Manathai Resort, Surin Beach Very good place to stay in Phuket. Great architecture of the building. Good mixture between thai and european style. Very clean rooms and very friendly staff.	very good
Vibeke and Bjorn 2009-09-19	Manathai Resort, Surin Beach Beautiful boutique hotel, and very friendly and helpful staff. We booked a deluxe room and was upgraded to a studio, with compliments from the check in staff. We did not see the deluxe rooms, but have read some earlier complaints. I noticed that there is an older and a new wing. Anyhow, the studio was spacious and chic, with a private balcony with a fan. We were even upgraded to a duplex room when we had some minor trouble with the toilet (that didn t flush). Bigger end even better. We love the interior! This is the low season, and the staff seemed to do whatever to make our stay memorable. We definitely would go back. We paid 2700BHT and think that is great value.	Good service and quick replies from Sawadee.
Tim 2009-04-14	Manathai Resort, Surin Beach A good hotel in a very good location close to beautiful Surin beach. It s a pleasant 150m stroll through a little park to the beach, where Manathai has a cooperation with one of the beach chair rental shops - towels, deck chairs and umbrella are provided free of charge. The hotel has two pools, both rather small, but nice. I can not recommend the Deluxe rooms - the ones we were shown on ground floor were dark, with a dark and old fashioned room decoration The hotel staff admitted that they are receiving a lot of complaints about these rooms - no good value for money! We were upgraded to a higher room category, which was a beautiful and comfortable room. Friendly and helpful staff, free internet - a good place to stay at, even though not as pretty as Manathai Village in Chiang Mai.	Very good room rate, very good service - thank you!
Lori Trujillo 2009-01-07	Manathai Resort, Surin Beach Very nice boutique hotel with tasteful decor and a convenient location across the street from Surin Beach. The hotel staff was always friendly, and despite many of them not speaking perfect English, they were very easy to communicate with. We very much enjoyed our room and every aspect of our stay and will definitely return in the future (unless of course the Manathai raises its rates to the ridiculous highs of other resorts in the area). Thank you!	Faultless as always.
Mariann Bertram 2008-11-15	Manathai Resort, Surin Beach I sayed 3 nights at Manathai in Phuket. We were upgraded to a suit which was just off one of the 2 pools. We had a sitting room and bedroom and very small bath. The room was attractive but had too many decorative objects taking space that a traveler needs for suitcase, toiletries, etc. Also there was no task lighting, just very dim lamps in the bedroom and sitting room. I needed a flashllight to find things in my suitcase after dark. All the rooms are different, so that problem may not be encountered in other rooms. The breakfast was excellent, the ocean beach club was convenient and well staffed and the public areas were nicely furnished in a traditional thai manner. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The happy hour complimentary snacks were excellent. I would stay there again but would ask to look at a couple of rooms before deciding.	Sawadee did everything they promised.
Joakim Wallin 2008-02-18 until 2008-02-26	Manathai Resort, Surin Beach A beautiful hotel. Small but the interior is wonderful. We stayed for 8 nights and are overwelmed. The staff is friendly and helpful. The only thing that was a bit negative, was that the barprices was extremely high, but nevertheless, you can go elsewere to enjoy a drink.	Nothing else but good.
Andrew Pullar 2008-02-11 until 2008-02-12	Manathai Resort, Surin Beach This resort is fantastic and definitely worth a stay. It is a beautifully decorated, traditionally Thai-styled resort with excellent service. The staff were lovely and really helpful. My partner and I really enjoyed our stay here. We doubt you will be disappointed if you stay here.	The booking service with Sawadee was excellent. There was regular communication and the whole process was uncomplicated. Thanks Sawadee.
Claudia & Helmut 2007-12-13 until 2007-12-22	Manathai Resort, Surin Beach Wow, what a nice hotel! The holidays in Thailand were superb and the stay in the Manathai at the beginning did its best. Rooms are a little bit small but who stays in rooms during holidays? Staff always and everywhere helpful, food upper standard, but the bar is very very expensive (reason why nobody was visible there?) All in all: 100% to recommend; for us in the future a top address on Phuket island	from the beginning to the end perfect! everything what a customer expects from a professional: quick replies, reliability, perfect organisation! Great, go ahead with that!!
Veena Krause 2007-12-09 until 2007-12-12	Manathai Resort, Surin Beach Manathai Phuket is an excellent hotel. We stayed there from 12/09/07 to 12/12/07. We booked the Superior Double room type through Sawadee.com, which was a very good value. The lobby ambience is a cozy and relaxing traditional modern Thai style. The old wing we stayed at has a nice Zen type of courtyard that features a soothing waterfall, white cushions and pillows with sheer white cloth canopies and a small, but inviting, swimming pool. The staff was cheerful, courteous, and very helpful. Breakfast was of good quality. Our room was comfortable, but lacked useable surface/space to store or set things down on. Lighting in the room was not adequate to read books or see maps. But we slept well with an excellent bed and good air conditioning. Last, but not least, DO NOT let them check you into room 111!!!! Avoid it at all cost. We felt insulted that they would think that anyone would want to sleep in a tight corner room right next to the breakfast restaurant. It smelled like an Indian restaurant when we first walked in, it has an old beat up screen sliding door, it has a vent fan in the bathroom that was constantly ON, and there was only a bathtub with no real shower. When we mentioned our concerns to the receptionists, they promptly moved us to another room. We also loved the beach side chair/towel service at their facility on Surin beach. We will definitely return to Manathai again and will recommend it to our friends, but with the exception of avoiding a 111 type of room.	No problems.
Muensterer Bernd 2007-11-11 until 2007-11-14	Manathai Resort, Surin Beach Simply great! Would stay at the Manathai again.	Excellent!
