Great stay. A large and clean room, friendly staff, good and varietal breakfast of good quality. The location was great as not busy compared other beaches on island. Also, a nice mixed combate spprts training facility 200 meters away with session, day, week or month passes. The hotel gym was also good, and all 3 treadmills were of good quality. Great restaurants very close by including beach restaurants that were well priced.

We enjoyed our stay at Arinara! We loved our swim out room. The property reminded us of some of the resorts we’ve stayed at in the Caribbean! The breakfast buffet was delicious! The staff are very accommodating as well. If you’re looking for a resort feel in Phuket, we recommend Arinara!

If you don't like cigarette smoke this is not the place for you. People are smoking all around the pools and public spaces. Rooms were clean but nothing special. Food okay. Access to the beach is very nice! Probably wouldn't recommend this place based on the public smoking. They should have a designated smoking space near the street so other guests don't suffer.

The resort is beautiful and well kept with good amenities (gym, Starbucks, direct access to beach, etc). We found that the beds and pillow were hard but some guest may prefer this. The pool was enjoyable with lots of poolside loungers to choose from. The breakfast had many options with Thai options and traditional breakfast items (french toast, pancakes, bacon, sausage, etc). Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Glad we took the chance to book this hotel, it was outstanding. The staff were very friendly, it had plenty around it, markets, shops, beach clubs, more traditional eateries. The beach is on the doorstep and the swim up rooms made my little girls holiday even better. Couldnt reccommed enough
