Allamanda Laguna Phuket

First of all nice reception from the frontdesk ladies and the rest of the staf. This was our third visit to Laguna although first to Allamanda. A big dissapointment was the changes done by the Laguna management to the free shuttle bus for this year. The previous years the bus was only a call away to take you to the beach, the entrance( shops, massage etc), other area hotels etc. Now it was scheduled by canal village and only 4 times a day to the entrance and back. Not the smartest move by the management to make this big change for visitors who has returned for many years. Allamanda was otherways a bit worn down but the pool was nice. Allamanda is the budget alternative at the Laguna but it works out well for a couple of days.

Bra hotell och mycket bra poolområde. En bit till närmaste restaurang men där fanns gratis transport inom Laguna området.

Haven't stayed at Allamanda for 13 years & returned as we were celebrating a friend's birthday and playing golf. Like the 2-bed suites for their space and in Bldg 2 for the direct access to the course's 17th hole. Good clean condition, all well-kept especially as the bathrooms had been modernised. Nothing fancy, but love the easy access with parking almost directly on your door step (we requested ground floor unit for ease of luggage & golf clubs). It's more set up as a services apartment with kitchen (electric hob, microwave oven, big fridge, toaster and kettle). Wish they'd be a bit more generous with bathroom soap & replenishing shower gel thought. In Sept low season managed a very reasonable us$50 per night for the suite.

Just so so

Great hotel, property is beautiful. You are in a huge resort near the beach, which is walking distance away. However, you are also very secluded from the rest of Phuket, with a 30 min ride to the city. Airport is 20 min away, so definitely closer than most places, but I wouldn't suggest it if Phuket city is where you want to spend the bulk of your time. That said, service was impeccable, and if you are the type who wants a luxury resort off to your own, this place is absolutely perfect (think Disney resort style).
