The Kris Resort

“It was just what we wanted”

I really enjoyed our stay in one of the private condos. The chap that met us there was friendly and the price was good and fair for what we got.

I really enjoyed our stay in one of the private condos. The chap that met us there was friendly and the price was good and fair for what we got. The place was tidy and clean, a little patchy with things like unmatched wallpaper and discoloured grouting but not anything that was going to worry me on a holiday with a mate. We used all the facilities at the main hotel including the rooftop pool everyday we were there and had a great time. The pool and surrounding areas were well maintained and kept clean. The staff were friendly and as helpful as they could be, more often than not they we leave us to ourselves, which was grand. I would stay again with friends but it's not the kind of place I would take my girlfriend to on a romantic get away. It's also a bit of a walk to get about, fine if you've got the time and energy but not for everyone. We found out way more walking around and talking to people than we did on any of the tours!

“clean, modern rooms, short walk to the beach”

our room was very bright and clean, everything you needed in the kitchen cupboards. Pool tiles were green, which made the water look green which was off-putting! lovely sunloungers round the pools, hardly ever anyone in the pools. Nothing happening in the hotel, new looking restaurant always seemed… more

our room was very bright and clean, everything you needed in the kitchen cupboards. Pool tiles were green, which made the water look green which was off-putting! lovely sunloungers round the pools, hardly ever anyone in the pools. Nothing happening in the hotel, new looking restaurant always seemed empty. Short walk to the south end of Bang Tao beach, where there are loads of restaurants and bars, and a couple of mini-marts. 20 minute walk to Hat Surin beach, which was beautiful, but not to our tastes, wall to wall sunloungers ten rows deep. I hadn't been to Bang Tao beach in 10 years, when only Laguna Phuket existed, now it is over developed, and over-run. Pity.

“Not horrible but not what I was looking for”

Let's start from the beginning.....this place could be awesome depending on what you are looking for. Unfortunately, it wasn't really what I was looking for. The high points are as follows...*close to the beach with out being on. Walk way to beach can be sketchy depending on the tide. *Clean wit… more

Let's start from the beginning.....this place could be awesome depending on what you are looking for. Unfortunately, it wasn't really what I was looking for. The high points are as follows...*close to the beach with out being on. Walk way to beach can be sketchy depending on the tide. *Clean with modernish appliances. *Provided towels, one role of toilet and one sponge for dishes. *Nice pools *Close to a lot of restaurants and shops Now let's talk about the low points.... *I had my "maid required sign up for the last three days and have received no service *There was no dish soap, extra toilet paper and the bed is ROCK hard (made my sciatic act up like crazy so if you share the same problem as I do, DO NOT book this place) * I had to pay for electricity which is absurd (that should be included in the booking price) *Back restaurant was under construction so if you are trying to sleep in, you can't. Would I stay here again, probably not but I'm not unhappy I stayed here. Now all these limitations may be because I rented through a third party, Rent a Villa Phuket but I will never know. The driver that they arranged for me was very prompt and nice so that was a plus. Again, not disappointed, just not elated.
