Hotels near Gibbon Rehabilitation Project

"The villa was clean and well-maintained, with excellent staff and a great breakfast. I would highly recommend it."

"We recently stayed at Banyan Tree Phuket in a two-bedroom pool villa and unfortunately, the experience did not meet the expectations of a 5-star resort at this price point. The villa felt outdated, particularly the bathrooms, and overall lacked the level of comfort and refinement we expected. Basic details were missing — for example, only one bath towel per person was provided, and pool towels (both in-villa and at the main pool) were very worn, with visible threads coming out. The toilet did not work. Service recovery felt inconsistent. After raising concerns about breakfast, we were offered a much nicer, quieter alternative location for “special guests,” which was excellent — but it was unclear why this wasn’t offered from the start. Similarly, after further complaints, we were offered to move villas for the last two nights, but no proactive support was provided to facilitate the move, making it impractical for our family. Food quality was another disappointment. Room service and poolside options were very basic — for example, chicken nuggets appeared to be of low supermarket quality, with poor presentation. The main pool is beautiful, but sunbeds are outdated with worn mattresses and old towels. The beach club requires a shuttle and felt crowded and loud, lacking a relaxing atmosphere. Overall, this stay fell significantly below our previous experiences with the Banyan Tree brand (such as Bali and the Maldives), and did not reflect the level of luxury we expected. "

"Excellent service and location!!! I loved the room! "

"If you’re visiting Phuket for the famous lily pad photos, Ma Doo Bua is definitely worth checking out. I didn’t stay overnight, but I booked a room so I could get early access to the photoshoot. When I arrived there was already a long line, but the staff were very accommodating and allowed me to go first because of my reservation, which I really appreciated. While waiting, I ordered a few drinks and some food and everything was really good. The atmosphere around the lily pond is beautiful and relaxing, which made the experience even nicer. Even though my visit was short, I had a great experience and the service was excellent."

"The spa was amazing and everyone was friendly. Would definitely stay there again "

"Very comfortable stay. Rooms well kept and large. Staff very kind and well trained!"

"I stayed only one night"

"We chose this hotel because we wanted a quiet and relaxing stay surrounded by nature. Unfortunately, during our stay there was ongoing construction noise, which made it very difficult to relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere we were expecting. We mentioned the issue but nothing really changed. It was disappointing because the location is beautiful and has great potential, but the constant noise affected our experience. Another thing to note is that the kitchen closes around 17:00, so there is no food available after that time. You can order food from outside if needed. Also, since the hotel is in a more remote area, you may need to rent a motorbike to get around. It’s possible to rent one through the hotel, but renting from outside can be cheaper. If you are looking for a truly quiet place in nature, it may be worth checking whether the construction is still ongoing before booking."

"Poor guest relations by staff. Seems like the staff is miserable and unhappy "
