Herbert W. Fong 2009-06-26	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach My 3rd stay at the Thara Patong Resort. The property is still an excellent value, with good location and all the facilities of a major resort. I stayed in a Superior room and the room was in decent condition. However, the bathroom tiles can use some strong cleaning of the mold buildup..	No complaints. Exellent service as always!
Carol Leow 2009-06-19	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Very good service. They allowed us to checked in early even without prior notice. The buffet breakfast was good: great variety and the local selections changed daily. Also near to many other shops and eating places. The staff are friendly and welcoming. However, rooms are a bit small if you want to include an extra bed. The balcony is a bonus for that late night drink or simply for tanning. Highly recommanded if you want value for money!
Roy Barber 2009-06-10	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach My wife and I just spent the first few weeks of June at the Thara Patong, and (overall) were thoroughly impressed. We booked into one of the cheapest rooms, anticipating that we wouldn t be in it much so we wouldn t need too swish a room just for the two of us. It was very comfy with a nice balcony overlooking the outdoor, open-air massage parlour, and had all the usual basics - bar-fridge, aircon (thank God - as it was so hot and humid!), TV with some english-speaking channels, nice shower etc. Of special note was the maid-service which was brilliant, with clean sheets and two lots of towels daily so we could take one set onto the beach and yet have a new set when we got back - excellent. Overall we were very happy with the room, say about 7/10, and the service in the hotel was as to be expected, although we were surprised at the ok standard of english for most of the staff (with the exception of reception.) It is very hard and confusing to sort anything out on the phone in Phuket! There were two lovely pools which were always very clean and warm, and each had a nice bar for refreshments and food, although the lack of breeze and the super-warm temperatures meant sunbathing was a sweaty affair! Breakfast was FANTASTIC, and the bars were good, although the restaurants seem to get expensive and not-as-tasty in the evening. We ate out most nights. Overall though, we were VERY happy with the hotel, and the close location to the beach and all the nightlife was absolutely SUPERB (you are right next to all the action, although the hotel is strangely serene and the gates are locked at night so it is safe.) Would we go back? Absolutely. What we would ask for next time though, is one of the rooms higher up - mainly the top (third) floor (high heels sound very loud from the room above!) Otherwise it was a great place and is an awesome location for exploring Patong Beach - which was pleasantly surprising - clean and full of action like jetskis, parascending, bananas, bars etc.	Sawadee was EXCELLENT - and the website was the best I have seen for phuket hotels. Highly recommended and good prices - we would use Sawadee again!!!
Suresh Aggarwal 2009-05-29	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Rooms allotted to us Room No.s 1337,1338,1331,1332 A/C was not working properly but on complaint they kept on trying to fix the problem to no avail. The staff kept on trying to tell us that the A/C are working OK. But when we said we are going to check out we were offered room no 1114,1116,1117,1118 which were good. Rest everything was perfect but they need to tell their staff to take customer complaints seriously rather than to try convincing customer forcefully.
Noel Davis 2009-04-26	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach My wife and i have no complaints about our stay at this resort. The gardens and pools are great, and the outdoor massage i had was very professional. The quality and range of breakfast foods was first class. Our room was older but very well cleaned every day. We have stayed at several hotels and resorts in Thailand, and believe that for the money, this was an experience to be had again.	Booked on the net, and had no problems.

Swiss Family 2009-04-25	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach Very nice clean hotel, close to vibrant night life and beach, very friendly staff, clean rooms with good beds. We have got a free upgrade to the next higher room category. Good for families as the pool is nice. Good facilities with fitness center and always enough chairs at the pool (although don t know if this is case in high season). Would go there again.	perfect

Ronnie Van Veen 2009-04-18	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach We had a wonderful time at the Thara Resort. We had a pool access room which meant the we could walk out the door and jump straight into the pool. Lovely. The only issue I had with this was the balcony/sitting area was small as we had a corner room. But that was the only issue. The bathrooms were a little tired and the drain in the shower was slow in removing waste water. The location of the resort allowed us easy access to the hustle and bustle of the main road in Patong but far enough away to not be disturbured by the noise. All shopping and restaurants were within easy walking distance. The breakfasts were very good with a great selection of foods on offer ranging from fruits and cereals to cooked Aussie full breakfasts but no vegimite :-(.	Booking on line was a breeze. Everything was as we booked and checkin/out went very smoothly. I would do that again when teh time comes to book a holiday.
Riku Kulovesi 2009-04-10	Thara Patong Beach Resort & Spa, Patong Beach overall good hotel with nice stuff. Rooms are clean and pools are fabulous. Very relaxing place to stay and near Bangla road etc. Next Phuket visit I use this hotel again. Small minus is WiFi which hotel charge ridiculous 200thb/30min and no free internet even in lobby.	good and hassle free booking
