Surin Spa Independent hotels in Phuket, Thailand

My husband & I just recently stayed at the Araya Hilltops Boutique Resort & Spa for 8 wonderful days! (Jan19-26) This is everything I've ever wanted in a "resort style" hotel....My husband &I have stayed in all sorts of hotels in several countries & I must say, this place did not dissappoint! The location could not have been better; the property absolutely beautiful and they maintain it on a daily basis. The international staffs especially in the dining area could not have been friendlier...Love the fact that they have their tuk tuk to even drive you to a couple of their private beaches...Very serene in Surin.....just like paradise

Beautiful hotel , beautiful friendly helpful people .

The hotel is only 5-10 minutes walking distance from one beach; however, the hotel provide free shuttle to several other beaches. Breakfast was great! They had a western and asian breakfast either one was delicious to my family and I. The pool was as awesome in reality as shown on the website pix, the water was clean and at a great temperature...warm. The service provided by the staff was excellent despite their limited english they attended us superbly. Great hotel for a family with kids seeking peace and tranquility. Final comment is that the restaurants on the nearest beach are all delicious I strongly recommend the indian restaurant and the Andaman seafood restaurant at night so you can eat on the terrace to see and hear the waves as the tight goes up.
