Bang Niang Market

Amazing stay at Arinara. The hotel is great, the layout is perfect in the horse shoe shape with the pools in the middle. A beach bar next to the first pool and bar/restaurant further down leading to the beach. The private pools for your room are great I would recommend getting an outside room as your pool will be completely private great for late night dips. The food at the restaurant is honestly 10/10. You can walk straight out onto the beach from the hotel then walk down left or right to various bars and restaurants. I recommend Nomad for the fire show and also the food is amazing. In terms of convenience you have everything you need on the street at the front of the hotel including more restaurants, massage parlours, desks for buying trips, convenience stores, bars. It offers a quiet village feel with cars and bikes rolling past slowly. Honestly can’t recommend this hotel enough and we’re quite fussy and we’re sure what to expect. For trips further afield the taxis are extremely cheap you almost feel bad for the drivers. Just download “Grab” to easily book taxis to your location it gives you the price upfront. You can get anywhere in Phuket for £5-10. Thank you Arinara🙏

Benz and Ali at the desk were more than helpful. The comforter on our bed had a make up stain from a previous user. The comforter itself had been cleaned. Wish pool area offered bar service.

I booked this property as a Expedia Gold member for the VIP room upgrade. I was advised there is no rooms available to upgrade, however a quick search online showed they had 3 rooms available! Very shifty and money hungry. They should not join the Expedia VIP program if they have no intention of participating. I wouldn’t of booked this hotel had I known I won’t be afforded my benefits.
