My family and I stayed at the Andaman Beach Suites in August 2007 for 7 nights. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment family suite. It was very good value for what we paid as it was very spacious.
The sofa bed in the lounge area could have done with a clean as it had a bit of a stinky musty smell, other than that, there were no other complaints. The service in this hotel was very good, always with a smile. Breakfast was good. The room was cleaned well.
I would reccomend this hotel as very good value. It is probably a 3 and half star hotel. The location is ideal for families as it is located in a quiet part of Patong in Phuket.
I would recommend CHONG KO TRAVEL for all of your bookings to day trips, islands and shows. They are an excellent and reliable company located close to Andaman Beach Suites Hotel at [--]
My family and I booked trips to Phi Phi Islands, Phang Nga Bay (James Bond Island - used in James Bond 'The Man with The Golden Gun' staring Roger Moore and 'Panyee Village' - Gypsy Island), Kai Islands, Simon Cabaret, Phuket Fantasea Show.
The Phuket Fantasea show was spectacular and was worth every penny for the theatrics, singing, dance, interaction with elephants and animals, mid-air - high wire acrobatics, incredible stage set as good as anything in London's West End theatre district and the cultural insight.
The Simon Cabaret show was good, nevertheless, I do have some reservations regarding the professionalism of the cast players and the management team of this enterprise. Be careful ! My experience was a bad one. At the end of the show the cast members sneakily encourage you to take photos with them. My 11 year old daughter was coerced into having a photo with 2 of the lady boy performers while I visited the toilet. When I arrived at the 'phototaking' after visiting the toilet, I was presented with an unreasonable bill for the photos. Then, as the drama unfolded, 4 of the lady boys surrounded me and my wife and daughter, begging for a tip. The amateur photographer also demanded 400 baht for the 2 Kodak instant photos that had been taken. The unnecessary tasteless drama perpetrated by the lady-boy performers and amateur photographer of the show spoiled the evening. Up until then the show had been quite entertaining with a great song and dance performance and impressive stage set. I would not reccomend this show to anyone. Many people of the audience experienced the same tasteless drama. I myself was relieved of 1000 baht within 2 minutes by the aggressive lady boys.
Phi Phi Islands (Maya Bay - Used in the 1998 movie with Leonardo Di Caprio ' The Beach' ), Phang Nga Bay, Kai Islands were all spectacular. Phuket is a great holiday destination for families. The natural scenery of the Island is spectacular. The Andaman Beach Suites Hotel is the perfect choice of hotel if you want good service and fantastic accomodation space.
