Review of Phunawa Resort
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Apr 10, 2018via mobile
We stayed in a ground floor apartment by the pool. Recommend this. The staff are superb and go that little bit extra. For some reason the bar is infrequently used which is a shame. Good fun bar staff, if you interact. Food very good but took 4 days to get in satay for some reason. Thai green curry was excellent. Well with a consideration.

Reviewed January 30, 2018

We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite, excellent sized bedrooms, and kitchen featuring full sized fridge. Pool access at our doorstep which was perfect for our young children. All staff were always very friendly, helpful & cheerful, the resort wasn't built yesterday so do expect natural wear & tear but no where near the dire comments I read from some other reviewers. Overall excellent value for money and I would stay here again.

The suites have living areas and kitchenette. It was great for families to gather to talk or play board games. We brought Nintendo Wii and it was good fun too. Price is reasonable but interior feels tired.

Our family of 4 stayed here for 6 days. We had a 2 bedroom suite with a king and queen bed and kitchen.

The pool is large and good shallow area for kids to play all day. The hotel is a 3 mine drive to Karon Beach.

Pros: shuttle to/from Beach, not many people use the pool, massage was good, big suite, clean, good shower water pressure.

Cons: not enough shuttle service times, would not arrange for taxi other than own shuttle to airport, food was disappointing but is convenient when kids are tired, deferred maintenance around hotel, beds were uncomfortable (hard) for us.

Immediately upon arrival we were greeted by the staff and offered a welcome drink. We were then informed that we were being upgraded to a different suite which we certainly appreciated. Grabbed a bite at the onsite restaurant which was actually pretty good. Breakfast buffet was plentiful and decent. Location is pretty good also- 15 minutes max walk to town. The staff was exceptionally friendly and eager to help at every turn. Biggest complaint is that the facilities are just flat played out... paint is needed everywhere. Rooms were spacious and clean but just worn out. Shower faucet was duct taped(although perfectly functional)and walls in need of serious paint, etc. If ownership/facility management were to pay attention to some of the little details, it would make this a truly fantastic place to stay.

Phunawa Resort located a kilometer away from Karon Beach was supposed to be a luxurious stay at a 4-star resort but the experience was not so good. Though the property is well developed it is in need of maintenance. We had booked two rooms-the Two Bedroom Grand Suite and the One Bedroom Nawa Suite with Private Jacuzzi. We arrived to leaking faucets and a refrigerator which refused to cool. We had to complain several times to get the air conditioning working in the grand suite. The washrooms were very basic with no luxurious feel as promised and did not even provide necessities like bath robes, slippers or even toothpaste. The bed linen was also dirty and housekeeping would leave the floors dirty. The Nawa suite was slightly better but the Jacuzzi was anything but private with anyone having access to it and no pool cleaning whatsoever. Even the lights were broken. The less said about the staff the better-they were very rude and not courteous at all. Will definitely not revisit or recommend.
