SUGAR PALM IS THE BERRIES

Stayed at Sugar Palm in Oct 2007...This was my 2nd stay at this specific hotel and hasn't changed from my 1st visit in 2006...Rooms are fantastic, spacious, very modern and serviced daily, so clean and neat...Room and hotel facilities are pretty good and rated at +3 to 3.5 Star...One down side of the hotel is the pool size area which is very small, (that is if you're planning on spending a lot of time around the pool), has only 10 Pool Loungers and because it is surrounded by the Hotel rooms is pretty noisy when there are people swimming, which can be very irritating if you have a pool access room...Hotel location is great, 2min walk from the main Kata Swimming Beach, close to a number of Restaurants, Pubs and shopping...I would recommend the Hotel Restaurant (MALI SEAFOOD) as the service and food for that matter is very good with beautiful presentation and up to international standards...But there are also many great restaurants around the hotel area within easy reach...In general the Hotel and Restaurant staff are also very pleasant as are the porters who are willing to take care of your luggage...

KATA area as a whole was quite busy but lovely, unfortunately I had terrible rainy weather, so October is definitely not a recommended travel month for Phuket...Will be returning again soon...
