The resort design works well - to have the pool right outside our patio was lovely, the bed was large, great bathroom. The location too was excellent and we loved how the beach space was decorated in fairy lights, swings and hammocks, adding to the luxurious feel.

A piece of paradise in coronovirus nightmare

The foyer is misleading as very dark and dismal. Get through there and the pool rooms are amazing. The door opens straight onto the most amazing pool which is really clean. Opens onto a lovely beach which is empty. Service in hotel is lacking but due to poor English rather than apathy. Overall would go back and would recommend

All three swimming pools were very dirty, which meant we were unable to use them. The water was green and you could not see the bottom. We asked if cleaning would take place and we were told it would. However, although there was some attempts to clean one of the pools, this took four days and was still being cleaned when we left after 7 nights. We did send an email to the hotel but received no response.

Property Needs a facelift

The overall experience in Dvaree Mai Khao was alright, not exceptional. The property is big but not well maintained. The beach is nice and quiet, unfortunately this was the season of jellyfish in Andaman Sea, so get rashes on the body. This property has 3 pools, but not well maintained, water looks yellowish, even though we see daily cleaning by the staff. The service staff was overall friendly n warm. Breakfast has room for improvement. Outside hotel has a mini mart, 5 restaurants, few souvenirs shops and fruits stalls. They even provide laundry services at reasonable rates. The property is very secluded n quiet, and we find peace and relaxing moments. With some upgrading of the property, it surely be a paradise.

On the beach is a bonus. Bed was a bit firm for my liking. Goof wifi, good breakfast. Room clean with pool right outside the door. Close to the airport is handy. Staff helpful, friendly. Travelling on my own, felt safe.

Tucked away far from anything

I was looking for a hotel which was away from business and shopping, and I found the place! This is DEFINITELY NOT for you who wants party or a lot of things to do. This is the place to relax, rewind and stay away. The hotel it self is a bit dated, but still quite ok. The rooms are big, but the bed a bit too hard. It is right on the beach which is not crowded. There is a (small) gym, restaurant, spa and a small conference room. Outside the front of the hotel I a mini-mart and,... that’s it! The service is excellent and the people very friendly. Only for those who wants solitude!

We stayed here just for an afternoon so we could experience Mai Khao Beach before catching a late flight home. We found the staff and service to be excellent, warm, and accommodating during our brief stay. The hotel itself is quite beautiful but not well maintained. Most everything is old and a bit rundown. There is this sense of faded beauty about the property, which can have it's charm, but this doesn't really extend to the rooms themselves. We did not find the room to be particularly nice, though it was clean and the bed and linens were comfortable enough. Very rough around the edges generally. Also, bizarrely bad lighting. With proper investment, this could be a pretty amazing property, but it's clear that ongoing maintenance or renovation is not a priority for the owners or managers. A plus is that it is right on Mai Khao Beach, which was one of our favorite beaches in Phuket. (Very peaceful, pristine beach. Though there are many resorts in this area near the beach, none are visible from the beach itself.)

The condition of the place is a little dated, but still can't beat the beachfront location for that price. Breakfast buffet was alright, but most options weren't available as staff couldn't replenish food fast enough for the amount of guests present. Overall, it was a decent stay and very peaceful.
