We were pleasantly surprised the moment we walked onto the hotel premises. Clean, quiet, friendly staff. If you are looking for noise, traffic and the usual Phuket hustle and bustle then this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway with a pleasant setting, spacious, clean rooms, then you will like this place. The Spa is fantastic. The food is good...not over the top and the staff are efficient. A great place for the family or couples to spend some real quality time together. An added bonus is the property is located less than 15 minutes from the airport! No early morning wake-ups and one hour drives to the airport on day of departure. Highly recommended.

We arrived at Arahmas after a long and winding cab ride. The resort is far off the beaten path and our cab driver took a few wrong turns before we found the right road. Once we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the staff and told we had been upgraded from a deluxe room to a suite at no extra charge. The suite was lovely and handsomely decorated and, since it was on the ground floor, we could enter the pool from our Lanai.

The site is beautiful, and the view from the lobby at sunset is a lasting memory. Staff are uniformly friendly and accommodating. We had some problems with the wifi, but they were speedily resolved.

This is not the place to stay if you are looking for nightlife, but if you want a quiet, relaxing vacation with everything you need on site, you are in for a treat. We started the day with the breakfast buffet, spent the rest of the morning by the pool and treated ourselves to a Thai massage at the spa every afternoon. By the time we returned to our suite for an afternoon nap, there was a light lunch waiting for us.

We enjoyed a cocktail every evening at the lobby bar, serenaded by a hilarious trio of musicians that performed 60's American pop. They weren't very good, but they were enthusiastic, and so sweet. All our meals were on-site, and they were all good. We would go back in a heartbeat.

We booked through Hoteltravel.com for 2 adults and 2 chilren. When we arrived after some discussion we discovered Hoteltravel.com had only booked 2 adults into the resort. As a result we were asked to pay an additional 1000THB for an roll in bed. After some discussion with Hoteltravel.com and the hotel, the hotel compromised and said they would provide a mattress free. What I discovered was that they had taken the matress off a rollaway bed (leaving the base around the corner from my room). Why they didn't just give me the whole bed I will never know. It just seemed a bit petty.

When you arrive at this rather isolated hotel you are pleasantly surprised to see what appears to be a nice hotel. On arrivel we were told about hotel construction which was around the main pool and along the beach front. We paid an additional 800THB for a villa that allowed you to slip from your balcony into the pool.

On entering our room we passed 2 stagnent green ponds. On entering our room I spent the next hour killing 12 mosquitos and then resorted to requesting bug spray and nuking the wholeroom.

The room was of interesting Thai design but lacked finish and was very small. The bed was as hard as hell hence a poor nights sleep. We were afforded 2 small bottles of drinking water with a warning the tap water was not good to drink and you had to pay for anymore.

In general the resort struct me as run down and in need of invigoration with very view guests actually staying in the resort.

The dining area closest the pool also was adjacent more stagnent water. Watching the staff was comical as they split oil and other liquids on the ground and mucked around in preparation for dinner.

Given the condition of the rest of the water around the resort I was a little concerned about the state of the pool water although we did swim in it and did not get sick.

While the food at the pool restaurant was poor the breakfast was great with plenty of choice.

When walking on the beach there was a lot of rubbish.

There were not many staff around the resort however those that I spoke to were very pleasant and tried their best.

Our chilren enjoyed swimming from the room but we were pleased to get away from the place.

Considering what we paid I am sure I could have got better value for money.

For my short vacation, I chose to stay at Arahmas Resort and expected a quiet, peaceful, and quality vacation. Arahmas Resort has given me a really great time. The resort is quite new, green and clean. The room is spacious, functional and fine decorated. We stayed on the building and have seaview room where the guestrooms on the ground floor have pool access.

The beach is nice, long and private eventhough the sand is not sandy and very white. There is a construction site near by the resort, but it has stopped already for a few months. So we enjoyed the day reading and relaxing around the pool and the beach. The food there was fine and fresh. The staffs were always smile, friendly and helpful.

A right choice for a wonderful tranquil vation here at Arahmas.
