On 15th Aug 2008, my partner and I were forced to check out of Bhukitta Hotel & Spa, Phuket Town, after the bad experience there. Given a short time, we went to the hotel's nearest travel agency for help to book for another accommodation, this time in Karon Beach. Through the catalogues, we decided on Woraburi Resort Spa. It was... more

A fantastic location if your looking to relax away from the noise of Patong and love long walks on the beach. We were not aware of this resort but due to a booking problem with another hotel we came across Woraburi and the Front Office Manager, Miss Sai took great care of us and provided us with a wonderfull room.... more

Read an amazing review in Lonely Planet (an 'Our Pick') and was really excited when we walked in and got a pretty good low-season rate for 3 nights. We arrived in Phuket late and just wanted to get settled for the night- which proved impossible once getting into the room! First, they waited until our stay was paid for before... more

The hotel was right on the Karon Beach which was stunning. The rooms were clean and good sized. Breakfast is however rather disappointing but the hotel is right next to some lovely cafes. The ground floor hotel rooms had balconies that open right onto the pool which was nice. There weren't enough deck chairs around the pool but the beach... more

I was forced to stay at this hotel as i did not have any accommodation pre-arranged and everywhere else in Karon Beach was fully booked...but what a disappointment. This is meant to be 4 or 5 star but is more like a Travelodge. The rooms are so basic and badly decorated that I felt like I was in the army!... more

The lonely planet said 5 star at 4 star rates. I would say it is more like a 3 star at 4 star rates. I would say this hotel was once very nice but they haven't spent any money on it since it was built. The pool is in much need of repairs, 2/4 of it had tarpaulin on the... more

I spent a week in this hotel from Fri 22nd to Thurs 28th Feb and had a very bad experience. I found the facilities poor, atmosphere non-existant and customer service apalling. Upon arrival, my friend and I were given a double room, not the twin we had booked well in advance. When we pointed out that this was not the... more

Waraburi Hotel Phuket Thailand I just wanted to warn fellow travellers to stay away from this faded glory we unfortunately paid up front through Wotif and on arrival were horrified by the place apart from the fish stench in the front of reception (caused by watering plants with the ice from the fish display) the rooms are dated and in... more

I was very wary after booking this as I saw some bad reviews. I posted a note to see if anyone had anything good to say about the hotel and didnt recieve anything back. Booking in was smooth and efficient, the first room we had looked out to the building site next door with builders working from morning till night.... more
