Holiday Inn Hotels in Phuket

This time in Phuket, I chose the quiet and less crowded Surin Beach 🌅, which boasts beautiful sunsets. It's also closer to the airport without being noisy. The hotel facilities are quite good. There's a huge interconnected pool area, complete with a two-story spiral waterslide 🛝. I was a bit hesitant to try it at first 👙, but I gave it a go and it was pretty fun! 🥳 They also have plenty of activities for both adults and kids. I even joined a water aerobics class, which was great – perfect after a day of lounging! 😆 As for breakfast, it looked like there was a good variety, but when I actually tried to pick things, there wasn't a whole lot that stood out. Check-in took quite a while initially, and they even gave me the wrong room. However, when a family member accidentally scraped themselves at the pool the next day, the staff's attitude in handling the injury was very good.

This hotel is within walking distance to Karon beach (~10mins). I didn't explore much surrounding the hotel but there are quite a few eateries and 7elevens nearby. A nice lake/reservoir nearby too for a walk/jog. The hotel itself is very well maintained, clean, has a very nice view from the pool. We got an upgrade so that we have a mini pool and we are ever thankful for that. Thank u to all the staff as well for being so welcoming and friendly (especially Qis, please extend my appreciation to her, she was excellent :)). The hotel has many amenities and services, including an in house spa - which is very reasonably priced and good. The breakfast buffet was not bad, but i was already very satisfied as it was all halal. My hotel room was always well cleaned, and toiletries and towels were always restocked and replaced. The TV is a smart TV so many apps like Netflix and Youtube can be used. One feedback though, maybe install hooks in the toilet or behind the toilet door at least so that we could hang our towels or clothers while changing/showering. Overall, i definitely recommend this family friendly hotel. Will definitely want to book this hotel again ☺️
