Hi Nirmala 

Thanks for your email asking about our trip. We had a wonderful time! The accommodation, breakfasts, transfers and flights with Qantas and Bangkok were all really great and we have no complaints at all.

Centara Karon Resort Phuket was very well located and we walked quite a bit even though it was very hot! When we arrived we requested a room on a higher floor which they arranged. The room was great, cleaning each day was excellent and breakfast was also very good, with lots of choices and plenty of food. 

I had a couple of treatments at Cenvaree Spa within the hotel, they were wonderful, beautiful surroundings and very relaxing.

The only negative comment we would make with the hotel was that people came early in the morning with pool towels and saved sun loungers even though they may not have used them until later in the day.

Bandara Resort & Spa, Koh Samui was the very best! It was our first time to Samui, the location at Bophut was excellent within a ten minute walk to Fisherman’s Village. We had some excellent meals here and we really enjoyed a very relaxing stay with lots of eating, cocktails and spas for me. Loved it!

The resort was great, excellent breakfast again lots of choices. Wonderful room, with large terrace, excellent cleaning. Room contained dressing gowns, drying rack on terrace, umbrellas and even a beach bag. The swimming pools were all wonderful, no shortage of sun loungers. The hotel spa was nice but a bit more expensive than Centara and not quite as good. 

Grande Centre Point Hotel Ratchadamri, Bangkok was lovely, we got a room upgrade on arrival and it was very large with a lovely view over the golf course. Hotel was very well located just a short walk to train and shopping centres. We used the swimming pool a couple of times and it was beautiful, just what we needed after lots of walking in the heat. We have been to Bangkok a couple of times, last time about ten years ago and cannot believe how much it has changed. 

The transfers from airport to hotel and back were very good. We had the same lady both ways and she was lovely.

Thanks again for arranging our trip!

Kind regards
Kathy and Mark Reeve
