Found the Alpina via this website and our travel agent. Very nice resort. As mentioned previously, the reception staff have minimal english skills, however we had no difficulty checking in and dealing with them over the 8 nights we were there. ( We do not speak Thai, but a bit of patience from both sides went a long way to... more

The good -nice hotel with clean and spacious rooms -travel desk which helps you with booking tours and day trips is pretty helpful -if you get the Pool Access room - the balconly has steps that go directly... more

Ok my wife son and I stayed at this resort in September 2009, First appearances were WOW, this looks great. Checking in was a very slow process, language difficulties were apparent. Having got the key (and they only give you 1), electronic card of course, open the door said wow, this is nice. Being a scrooge, i always fill the... more

Just returned from staying at this resort for 10 days. My wife and I both found the hotel to be as good as most people say on this site. Our stay was made more enjoyable by the pool bar tender who is a real laugh, along with the very friendly band that plays music at night. On the downside the... more

I believe all the rooms overlook the pool. There is a massive pool, plenty of sun lounges and very nice setting.There is an hourly shuttle to Kata beach,... more

The pool was fantasic and the rooms were more than big enough too. The service is excellent and all of the staff are super friendly and can't do... more

While we did get a rate that is way below their high season rate, we still weren't that impressed considering the values you can find elsewhere along Kata or in other parts of Phuket. The power went off for about an hour (granted it was during a storm), and this also caused the water (toilet and sink) to turn an... more

The Alpina was a fantastic choice of hotel to stay in Phuket. I got really confused by all the recommendations on sites and in the end just picked one that I thought met our needs and went with it.... My other half agrees that it was the best decision that I made!!! Location is spot on- down the road from... more

After flying London to Dubai, Dubai to Bangkok, then straight on a plane to Phuket, we needed some R&R. That is exactly what we got. I actually booked this place by mistake, having turned up to the hotel i thought i'd booked in Patong and double checking my reservation. What a mistake to make. Patong was a dive. Kata on... more
