“Great Stay, Top Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Our room was clean and the staff friendly and helpful.
The buffet breakfast was excellent.
The hotel is just a short walk to the beach and town centre although we found it a bit disconcerting when we crossed the road outside the hotel as the friendly security guard would stop the traffic for us! Talk about being treated like royalty!
Probably not suitable for wheelchairs as there are two short flights of stairs to reach the lift for the higher floors.
Whilst the construction was solid and mostly soundproof the furniture was made of quality hardwood and heavy. I don't know why but the halfwits on either side of us kept rearranging their furniture by dragging it. Although our room was otherwise quiet we were disturbed by this noise.
With the one exception of the night manager (Romal or similar and I don't think he was Thai) we found the Thai people to be very friendly and courteous.
Be careful with the traders, they're hungry!

Sawadee Krap (Hello/ goodbye from a male in Thai)
Sawadee Ka (Hello/goodbye from a female in Thai)

I'd go back.- Loved the people.

“Holiday”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2011

This hotel is away from Patong Beach. 54 steps before you get to the lift and then if your room is above the 4 th floor more steps. So if you are old or not able to climb up and it is up very steep don't book here. Very quiet in this area a few cafe's not much shopping. Beaches are beautiful. Good for relaxing but not if you love Patong Beach.

Room Tip: ask for beach view but they all look good

“Great location and confortable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 30, 2011

Tropical garden resort

Great stay on Puket Island

This hotel is located at the south end of Kata Beach. The location is great because is
just a street cross away from a good served beach, with restaurants and hotels, but not
too crowded.
Water is hot and clear, just mind the tide, which can make disappear a big peace of
beach in a couple of hours.

We had a sea sight room, big and with a large balcony. It wasn’t really easy to reach,
but we kept in shape going up and down hundreds of steps. Of course there were
elevators to take, but it was faster on foot. The room was clean enough, and towels
were changed on a day basis. When we arrived windows had some fingerprints and
some lips and nose marks on it, but – when I noticed it – they came straight to clean it.

Rooms are quiet and beds are large comfortable. There was also a television with
satellite but I can’t remember which channels we looked. There was something on
English, but I have no idea if it was the BBC or an US channel.

I loved breakfast. It is the most important meal for me and I really enjoyed it. There is
a fresh fruits variety, cereals, eggs, pancakes (with maple juice), bread and croissants,
meat and cheeses,… coffee and teas were excellent, and it is all served on a wooden
terrace in front of the sea.

There is internet and you can ask the receptionists to print something for you (I asked
to print the boarding card) if you give them a memory stick. The staff is very friendly
and helpful.

50 m. from the hotel you find a rent a scooter, which is, in my opinion, the best option
to visit the island. In the evening you can also go on the north of Kata (like a 2/3 km
from the hotel) and enjoy a little bit more of nightlife.

I think I’ll stay again at the Tropical Garden Resort if I’m going back to Puket one
day.

“Relaxing break”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 18, 2011

Met up with the parents here as a break to my backpacking around S.E Asia. Rooms very nice, nice pools & great breakfast. The hotel staff were friendly & assisted us in booking our ferry to Kho Phi Phi to continue our trip south to Singapore.

Kata is a touristy area & caters for a tourist holiday. Have a night out in Patong - it's an eyeopener!

The room quite large, clean and most important is the view from our room facing straight to Kata beach and the swimning pool. We also serve with various breakfast menu.

Room Tip: Choose room facing to yhe pool..
