Phuwadee Resort & Spa

The beach on which you are located is stunning, and there are plenty of restaurants and bars along the beach / in the local square. Air con was very powerful and didn’t need a key to activate.

Staff were not friendly upon arrival. The room was very unclean, paint hanging from walls. Toilet was dirty, really bad smell to the point I had to change rooms. This hotel had the potential to be nice but they obviously have no intentions of doing so. Shower was shocking, freezing cold every single day.

The room was spacious and the bed comfortable, equipped with a fridge which was a big help.

When we arrived at the resort the staff really could not have been much more unwelcoming than they were. There was not so much as a smile, and when we informed them we could not pay for the room immediately, but needed to get some cash out, they refused to give us the key until we had done so. They also demanded a 500 baht deposit for the key. We felt this was excessive, and feel that warning of a fine rather than deposit would be more appropriate. We were put in one of the furthest bungalows from the beach, despite there being almost no other guests. The bungalow had mould on the bathroom wall, and the tv lacked an aerial so didn’t work. There were no sun beds around the pool, and the ones on the beach were tacky and broken, just bare planks. The restaurant was equally unappealing, both in decour and staff enthusiasm. The resort had a distinctly unsociable atompsphere. With a lick of paint, some new sunbeds, a couple of paddleboards (other resorts on the beach had these) and some staff training in how to smile and be more welcoming, this could be a really great resort for its money. However, as it currently stands, it is subpar.
