Maprao Island Hotel with Pool

"This resort was a major success in our Thailand vacation. The food was great, the amenities were enjoyable and the staff were absolutely respectful and polite."

"The pictures shown on the hotel site gives you expectations of the hotel being close to the beach - but those pictures showing pools etc are for the residence NOT the hotel itself. It’s a long walk from the hotel through the gardens to the road and beach. Hotel is in need of a little modernisation and upgrade, but overall reasonable value for money. Primarily the hotel is 80% Russian guests. We never used the restaurants at the hotel, except breakfast which was good. Overall, probably wouldn’t stay again. "

"Closest hotel to Bangla Road and Nightlife. This isn’t a resort, rather a 3 STAR hotel. Rooms are specious, clean & breakfast looked great! This is a busy hotel and price for accommodations are very reasonable."

"What a lovely family friendly hotel. It so close to the beach with local amenities. Front desk staff when far and beyond our expectations ensuring we were allocated the room required. Thank you Zamzam "

"Central location, excellent breakfast, lovely friendly staff"

"Beautiful new wing- the Vhari. Lots of things for families with kids to do. Swim, lazy river , water slides etc! "

"Location: Excellent, exclusive location but still close to Patong Beach. Staff: Simply amazing staff; all of them were helpful and treated guests with utmost care, would return only for the staff quality Rooms: Overall good but showing some signs of wear & tear. Due for an overhaul. But still 8/10 Cleanliness: V good Food: V good, breakfast is 9/10 SPA: over priced; >2x of Luxury SPAs in neighborhood Beach: Exclusive, clean beach, its perfect Overall: Would go again without doubt"

"Room Air Conditioning sucks. The management says guests can not control the temperature below 22°C (71°F). That's ridiculous. With outside temperatures soaring above 33°C (90°F) and humidity levels 70%+, the rooms are hot. When you come into the room, tired and sweaty, it sucks because you can't get it below 22°C. I have never seen this in any other 5-star resorts. The furnitures are ordinary. The shampoo dispenser, once pressed, won't come back, you need to pull it up again. There are no elevators. Again, after a sweaty day, you have to climb plenty of steps to get to your room. The resort claims they are "on the beach". They are NOT. There's a small rocky beach, a very busy street, and then the resort entrance. The staff is very polite & respectful, but the majority of them don't speak English. Restaurants (except the Ocean View restaurant) have limited options. The resort is not ideally located (about 5 km from the "activity" place). The view from the room is certainly good. Overall, I WILL NOT COME BACK HERE. "

"All great. Just be prepared that its a large hotel >350 rooms and that it's built on a cliff. I had to climb some 80 stairs from the room or pool to the reception. "
