Thavorn Beach Village & Spa

I booked in resort after a lot of research in and around Phuket. Initially I was wondering if its worth of price. Location - Beach front ,close of Putong beach/Bangla Road (15-20 mnt drive) Rooms - Clean, well maintained & ... wonderful Staff - Friendly & quick to respond (few exceptions though) Breakfast - Continental, Thai dishes , Juices Bread , Fruits & Tea/Coffee. In summary...it is more than enough. Pool- Awesome.... In/around - Plenty of greenery, Nature .....ideal place for morning walk ( you can walk of beach front too) Pricing - Water is expensive in house (500 ml cost THB 60,; You can buy good brand 6 Lt outside in THB 50) . Normal Dinner for 2 cost average of THB 900. Recommended - see the city ,go around ....in restaurant. You will save worth of money.

This place has pluses and minuses. Considering them all I would recommend this place if you would rent a scooter to travel and ready to swim at the pool most of the time. Pluses 1. Territory is very big and well taken care of. It’s clean and greeny. They have some animals around too kids can play with. 2. Secluded position of the hotel is good for relaxation. 3. Pool is very big and good both for kids and grownups. 4. Nice fitness center. Minuses 1. Food is just horrible. Everywhere. And overpriced too. I’ve read some comments about it and we avoided as long as we can eating here, but during Songkran all restaurants everywhere were closed and we ate at the pool bar and another restaurant. Dog food is better I can say. On the photo you can see what I got. SoNEVER eat here. Breakfasts are the same and not very good too. The thing is, all good restaurants are on the drive distance and you should either rent a scooter( around 200-250 bat a day) or use their shuttle that goes to patong couple times a day. It has no air conditioning and looks like a bus without windows. Restaurants I can recommend nearby are Grill Bill, mamma mia, Salsa Mexacana and Restaurant at Lillo Usland resort. Pim’s place has delivery and good pizza and local food. They have a Facebook page. 2. SPA prices are insane. It’s usually 2 as high as places of the same level. For example at oasis you can get 2 hrs of thai massage for 1700 bat. Here for 2000 you will get 1 hr foot massage So check Oasis Spa (oasisspa.net). They are close, cool and pick you up and drop by for free. When book online you can get 20% discount. 3. Beach is not swimmable most of the time. Half of the day there is no water, another half there is water but swimming is dangerous due to the rocks on it( see picture). So you have to either go to other beaches( eg kamala) or swim at the pool.

Looking out at the ocean from you beachfront room, no crowds, snorkeling in clear water, fantastic breakfast in the morning. The whole package of this resort is a must if you like the quiet side of a resort. Staff was very helpful and courteous and the resort has shuttles in to Patong Beach and Bangladesh rd. Zip lining close by too.

I can't remember when I exactly visited this place but I've stayed here before and will be staying over again in July. If that doesn't say enough already: The place is excellent. Rooms are good. Pools are clean. Food is nice. Authentic Thai breakfasts. The staff are excellent, Visha and I remember John very well for his excellent service throughout our stay. They ensured all things were up to our expectations. Oh and the resort has an excellent tailor who makes really good suits within just a day or two, still one of my favourites for an unbeatable price.

I was very impress the hospitality from the resort, the staffs are so friendly and helpful. The bar manager Mr.Khao is the best barman ever, we would like to thank you for all your help. Khun Apply and Khun Pam are kind and sort out all the problem with no problem at all. They never said NO to the guests. I will come back to your hotel again. Best service ever! Thank you you all.
