We spent a lot of time last year thoroughly researching Manathai, as another Surin hotel (Chedi) was closed for renovation. Later in 2011, we were concerned about some of the neg feedback for the Manathai but decided to keep our 3 week booking & make our own decisions. We found almost all staff friendly & helpful even if they struggled... More

The resort was great, the location fantastic. Surin beach is one of the best in Phuket - not to crowded. Main points for the hotel were: The Good * I left an expensive shirt in the room, they sent it back to me in Australia * Very clean * Great pools * Most staff had adequate English * Great Restaurant...

This spa hotel is beautiful, I had a standard room and was more than big enough for me, there is a swimming pool, fantastic buffet breakfast. The location is spot on, it's about five minute walk to the private manathai beach where you get free sun loungers, the beach is out of this world, beautiful sand and the sea is... More

It was our second stay in the hotel as we liked it last time. Don't want to mention the staff and the hotel itself, have nothing disappointing to say. A very beautiful one with friendly and helpful staff. I left my charger there and they sent it to me to another thai province. Plus, we checked out and still had... More

We checked into the manathai in mid January 2012 and found the staff were courteous and esscorted us to our rooms. While they put the air conditioning on in anticipation of our arrival the room itself was average. There were around 10-12 mosquitoes we manage to kill once we got inside, the bathroom was moldy and had an offensive odor... More

I booked the Manathai through Living Social and got a great deal. I have never reviewed anywhere before but I was so impressed with the level of service and the eagerness of the staff to attend to our every need that I felt I owed it to them to write a review. It is a 5 star hotel with a... More

The Manathai is located on Surin Beach, a quiet and less developed area on Phuket. There is potential here but the property is in serious need of maintenance and updating. The pictures on the website are outdated and do not reflect the current appearance. The standard Lanai room was small, hot because of the inefficient A/C and the bathroom tiles... More

I stayed at Manathai for 2 weeks. there was very pleasant stay with wonderful location just 2 mins to the beach. Service standard was excellent. Staffs were very helpful. sure I will recommend this hotel for my friend. More

On Christmas Day 2011 our Manathai hotel room (514) and hotel safe were broken into with all our valuables stolen! We arrived back at our hotel room after dinner at the Manathai restaurant to find our hotel room front and back doors open (there were no signs of damage to either door). We then checked the safe and were horrified... More
