A special thank you to Gie from the breakfast team, Kampoo from Laku lunch team, Minny from Kabang dining team. A special thank and encouragement for Ted, his water aerobic classes were fun and great to be part of. Thank you Urs for taking the time to listen to our feedback. Read less

Our first time to Thailand so we weren't sure what to expect. We arrived mid morning knowing that check-in wasn't until later in the afternoon so were pleasantly surprised that we were able to access our room just after midday. Filled the time meeting the fabulous bar staff at Kabang, sampling our first ever Coconut Island Iced Tea and learning the best places to visit in Phuket. The room was spotlessly clean throughout our stay and the bed was blissfully comfy with beautiful crisp bedding. The jacuzzi was immaculately clean as were the all the pools which is no mean feat given the tropical garden setting. The breakfast is outstanding and caters for all cultures and dietary requirements, big shout out to the staff on the egg station - the poached eggs and omelettes were cooked to perfection. Loved the beds around the pools and on the beach, super comfy and you don't have to leave them to get a drink or a snack as the staff continually come round to see if you wanted anything. The Spa is beautiful, treatments are top notch and reasonably priced. We want to give a huge shout out to Kyle, Mark, Honey and the fabulous crew at the Kebang Bar - you guys are great and made our holiday one we won't forget (for all the right reasons). Yes the resort is a bit dated here and there but we could see that Barcelo are determined to get everything up to scratch in due time. We will be back and that is a promise! Read less

We arrived and was less than impressed, the rooms could do with a little more attention to detail. Staff super friendly and will help where possible.

We had an issue with the hairdryer in our room which caught fire, had I been looking in the mirror and styling my hair we would have noticed when it was too late. They swapped our rooms, food was great and the free transfer off the island was super easy to use. Ted helped us book our trips out and were amazing recommendations. Would we return? Yes dependent on price and if we were to return to this area of Phuket. Read less
