We had our wedding there few days ago and we couldn’t pick better place.
Hotel was perfect, rooms are very “insta-friendly”, pools are wonderful and beach was beyond our expectations.
We were afraid that the beach is not suitable for swimming since we have not seen many sunbeds or people in the water when we were going through Melia pictures but the opposite was true. Beach is very wide, with many beanbags/sunbeds and the water is amazing.
Hotel has also a few restaurants - which were too expensive in my opinion, but we loved the fact there are much cheaper restaurant right next to the hotel on the beach. The some applied for drinks.
Breakfast was wonderful. I don’t understand bad reviews. Many options, egg station, noodles, rice, bread, spanish section (for some reason?) etc.
Hotel is little far from phuket center so don’t expect busy markets close to the area but on the other hands it is not too far from the center that you would have a problem to order bold or grab (last few days we stayed at the santhiya hotel even further north and we had a trouble to get a uber driver when we wanted to go to markets).
Staff is very friendly. We were treated like kings and queens. Yes, there were a few mistakes but always managed to communicate them. Many thanks to Sasipa who organized the whole wedding. She and her team were very helpful the whole time. One of our guest had to go to hospital and they made many kind of exceptions for her. She could use her room even after checkout, they brought her breakfast to her room etc.
Wedding was beautiful. Of course some things get wrong but that happens on every wedding. But it was really beautiful and we had a great time.
Few things you should know are:
- is there is a “+” or “++” sign after price, you need to add fees to the price - we learned the hard way
- if you are considering a wedding, you will not have the whole lawn for yourself, there still will be guests. But you will have a big part.
- if you are planning multiple hotels, Melia should be your last stay, because every other hotel feels worse then it is after this experience. Especially if you are going to Patong - go there first so you can enjoy the quite nature of melia
