All service experiences in Asia is with a smile, the added value here is Steve and his wife Lek share their local knowledge and help so ask for it, it saves time. Good and clean rooms with frig, hot shower and complimentary water. Situated in less hectic south Sanur with good choice of resto's and warungs and supermarkets within crawling distance. Beach is a short stroll but do ask their card for the nextdoor resort where you have swimming pools and good chairs and direct beach access as well. To avoid being ripped off by the Phuket taxi maffia ask Steve to arrange pick-up. Additional bonus for me as solo traveller are the most interesting people met here during five months Asia but of course this is very personal.
Thanks for the review Peter. Just that we are in Karon, Phuket and not Sanur, Bali! But I know you know that and at your age a slip of the keyboard is permitted! Only joking!
We stayed at the Pineapple for the whole of our winter break in Thailand - two months.
The room was basic but very clean. Towels were provided when needed and bottled water each day. Contruction was going on out side and the noise from the road was a pain but no fault of the Guest house.
Every one was so nice there Steve and Lek would do anything for you nothing was too much trouble. Saii and Toon were always on hand day and night , in fact all the staff were lovely.
The girls Geena and Pim were adorable.
The place was a little untidy but very very clean. Close by to local shops, the beach and bars.
Local buses close by, but they stopped at 5pm going into Phuket Town, and no buses into Patong..
The guest house have a taxi service at resonable prices.
Compaired to other places in the area the food and drinks were very well priced.
Would stay here again. PS STEVE thanks for the oxo's
And not many people come all the way to Thailand and go home with OXO cubes!
It was great arriving at Pineapple Guesthouse after a couple of weeks staying in bungalows this place was a real treat!
The rooms were lovely and clean, the shower was excellent. The staff were all,always helpful, friendly and smiley and the food served in the cafe was really nice and cheap! (Bonus!)
It is also really close to the beach, wouldn't recommend this area as a place to go to unless you like just beaches and bars but if you are to go this is the place to stay!
Had a most excellent stay here. Was very pleased with the staff and accommodations! When the co-owner, Steve, realized that we had been overcharged he was very honest and refunded us the difference! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for budget accommodations that are very near the beach. Would definitely stay here the next time we are in Karon Beach.
the staff is exceptional at this place. they offer taxi services to/from airport, ferry, and even for sightseeing (like big buddha and elephant trekking). they don't overcharge for drinks or food like most places in phuket. they are friendly, helpful, and all around good people.
the rooms are clean, safe, and comfortable. they offer free towels and snorkeling equipment (again, they don't seem out to exploit tourists like most places in the area) for their guest. their restaurant has great food, service, and prices.
it's a 5 minute walk from the best beach in phuket, karon beach. it's WAY better and less crowded than the streets near kata beach. there are tons of scandinavian restaurants, hostels, and shops (for some reason) so basically everyone speaks english. i'll definitely stay there again! :)
