I was just reading this site and am dissappointed to see that people were dissatisfied with their experience at Thavorn. Me and my partner stayed for 12 nights in August/September 2011 and really could not fault the tranquility and friendliness of everyone around. We arrived late at night and were greeted with a lovely refreshing drink...after soaking in our beautiful... More

Stayed for 2 nights in a beach view villa in January 2012. Had left the booking of our Phuket accommodation to my partner and when he said he'd booked in Patong, I expected loud nights and busy days. Pleasantly surprised on arrival by tranquility and a welcome drink. Took the cable car up to our room which was clean and... More

As most say, beautiful place, stunning surrounds, everything else about this place is average! We arrived at 9pm 7th November 2011 for 7 nights and the place looked great at night but when we got our first daylight glimpse in the morning it was clear the place is tired/ run down and in need of loads of maintenance. Staff seemed... More

stayed here on Sept with 3 friends. the hotel was hard to find, since it is far away from patong beach. foreigner tounge to speak Thavorn is hard to understand by the driver. hard to go to anywhere. around 15 minutes by car to patong. some of the staff were good, some are rude, especially the receptionist. food is ok....

Stayed in ocean view room on 4th floor can already enjoy the view and the music of sea. If you want to stay far away from the noise of traffic, this would be great. But if you prefer shopping, it could be a minus. There are free transport at 10:30 and 3:30 to patong, or you can walk for 1.5hrs... More

Stayed here for a week in October to November 2011. After reading others advice I was hesitant about staying here due to people saying the staff is rude. THIS IS NOT TRUE. The hotel is magnificent. The staff treat you like royalty. Some staff didn't speak very good English but they still gave the best service that they could with... More

I recently stayed at Thavorn with my two friends and had no problems at all with service/employees/resort. The biggest problem we faced was which cocktail to drink by the bar. Yes, the hotel is a little out of Patong 300baht trip ($10au) big deal. Yes, there are cats around the resort, what do you expect it's Thailand. Yes, there is... More

Unlike some reviews, my husband and I just had a wonderful 10 day holiday here (mid Oct). This time of the year wasn't busy so we had a really relaxing time. The resort was spectacular with beautiful gardens, fantastic huge pool and 3 restaurants which we ate at quite regularly. Prices are reasonable equal to what you'd pay in Australia.... More

Great views and a pool with a definite wow factor. A very relaxing hotel with a wide variety of rooms from cliff-top villas accessible by cable-car to beach side bungalows. A truly impressive free-form swimming pool ( the 4th largest in Asia the staff claim). Only 15 minutes from the Patong nightlife, but completely quiet at night. Service very average.... More
