Tropical Garden Resort

Tropical Garden Resort

We spent our four nights in Kata Beach, Phuket, staying at the Tropical Garden Resort. Here is a complete run-down of the good and bad of the hotel.

GOOD -
*You can get rooms with great views of the ocean. Only way you could beat them is if you had a beach bungalow. So book appropriately for rooms with a beach view.
*A very nice buffet continental breakfast each morning.
* They have needed facilities at the hotel premises, like internet, laundary, travel planning assistance, suit shop and so on and so forth.
* The rooms are cool and comfortable
* It is a 2-3 minute walk from the beach, right across the street from resteraunts, massage parlors, coffee shops and etc.
* A nice banquet area for buffet dinners at night, cocktails and live music.
* Two nice pools

BAD -
* LOTS of stairs and climbing. An incline to get up the vallet area to the hotel lobby. Then a good amount of stairs to the first level of rooms. Keep in mind that this hotel is two seperate buildings built one in front of the other. If you have a room in the second building then you must climb the ramp to the hotel lobby and steps to the first elevator. Take that elevator to the third floor of the first building. Then walk across a walkway, up another flight of stairs to another elevator which will take you to your floor and then walk the necessary length to your room. In All, be aware that staying at this hotel requires walking a lot of steps, if you have a disability or handicap this won't be the hotel for you.
* Hotel staff can be a little less than friendly. I suppose that the hustle and bustle of a busy resort can do that to you I suppose.

Overall, if the issue of having to climb all the steps and the more expensive cost don't make staying here a hardship for you than I would recommend it. Just make sure you get an ocean view.

Sorry I have no pictures of the hotel premises :-(
