Lovely room, decent breakfast and a reasonable location. Quiet locality with limited public transport links If only every hotel was as good as the Manathia Phuket. Modern, beautifully decorated and laid out. Breakfast was good quality with plenty of choice. The hotel staff said the best rates were available on Agoda! Would have no hesitation in recommending this for honeymoon couples, families or couples. Try the Manathai, try Phuket. Have a wonderful break. Manathai Chiang Mai is well worth staying at too.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Book trips to Phi Phi island etc in Phuket town- more choice, more competition and a better price. Negotiate on the cost of your taxi back to the airport- we paid 500 bhat. Check out the twin palms hotel next door- wow. Catch the local bus to Phuket town- about 40 bhat. Try the twin brothers restaurant on the beach.

It's a cosy hotel with unique decoration. I recommend the couple lover or small family to enjoy the facility of the hotel. I like small swiming pool or enjoy your time at the private beach just cross the road and walk down to the beach about 3 mins. Delux room is so small for the old building. The overal of the hotel is good. I like the decoration and style. The hosts are friendly and polite. It's really good hotel to recommend for the coupler to enjoy your time with romantic atmosphere.
Restaurant Tip : There is one resturant at Surin Beach call Nok Seafood. Food is fresh and nice..

Well located in Surin beach, close to dining and beach.
Free Internet
Friendly staff The staff were very willing to help but seem to lack direction.
Swimming pools are very small. I have stayed at the Manathai many times and always enjoy my stay. The standard rooms are a little tired looking and small but perfectly serviceable.
On my last visit, I was upgraded to a better room and I have to say, its worth paying the extra as the room was far nicer, the bathroom was great and there was a lovely balcony overlooking the pool.
It is walking distance from the hotel to several different restaurants and bars, which is great.

nice decor, pool, bad water pressure in the shower This is a good hotel, but it is not a resort. The beach is a short walk and they do provide towels and sun chairs once you are there. There are really no hotels/resorts on the beach in Surin but the restraunts and bars on the beach are great.
Restaurant Tip : Dinner on the beach at sunset is a must!

The architecture and Thai decor is exquisite. Staff are very nice. Good breakfast with excellent coffee.
Reasonable priced dining. The hotel needs a little touch up and the beach hammocks and parasols need to be replaced. We just visited Manathai during the low season and were upgraded to a suite. A very pleasant, and much appreciated, surprise to begin our long weekend stay at Surin beach. Breakfast was great the next morning, with real cappuccino brewed to order. Staff's hospitality was touching and the happy hour at the beach was very enjoyable. I like it much better that their more upscale neighbor Twin Palms. Manathai has more character and you get your saving worth...at least we did!

beautiful design (boutique), excellent service, quiet, nice beach restaurant a bit pricey (but good food) We enjoyed our stay at Manathai a lot. We arrived in the late morning after flying into Phuket from Bangkok. The "bell boy" took our luggage from the rental car to the beautiful lobby, the receptionist was friendly and efficient, we received an upgrade (not exctly sure why, but who cares ;-) and got our bags carried to a beautiful room by the pool, fully equipped with giant TV & DVD player (not really necessary for holiday at the beach, eh?), big bed, great interior design and a fantastic and spacious bath. Very stylish and yet an instant "home"-feeling. Fruit basket with rambutan and dragon fruit included. Dinner at the restaurant was also very much agreeable, if a little expensive and maybe a touch too western. Breakfast also thumbs up. Both the pool bar and indoor bar are fully equipped and offer a range of tasty own creations. All in all a much better than average location, especially regarding value foe money.
Hotel Feature Tip : Excellent boutique hotel

Location, great rooms and bathrooms, nice modern/ethnic architecture style and furnitures, lovely staff, nice swimming pool with lovely bar. Not a beach front hotel, like any other on Surin Beach, but they have their own sun-beds on the beach about 50 mt. away. The reception area should be equipped with better fans, it was too hot. We really enjoyed our 1 night stay (unfortunately only one), ther room was amazing, we have been upgraded to the suite for free. We didn`t try the restaurant, but it looks pretty nice and elegant. A great value for money, a very good boutique hotel/resort, not crowded as well they seems to have about 20-30 rooms only.
Nightlife Tip : Have your breakfast at the local restaurant on Surin Beach watching the sea, eat a banana pancake and get a local coffee (cafelom). At the evening go to Catch Beach Club on the beach for an aperitif or for an after dinner drink. This Club is managed by the Twin Palm Hotel, one of the best of the area. There is nothing much to do around Surin, it`s a Muslim area. If you want to visit the nearby Mosque or the local markets, I recommend to women to dress properly, cover your shoulder, your chest and your legs.

Pleasantly set out in tropical gardens, closeness to beach, restaurants. Staff in breakfast area need to smile a little more. On the whole we enjoyed our stay at the Manathai. We were upgraded to a larger room. We were disappointed the wifi internet service didnt seem to work in our room however there is special internet room with 3 computers for guests use. A quiet pleasant relaxing time was had.

stylish beach beach hotel. 5 min walk to the beach small hotel. This very hip hotel is very stylish and modern, the rooms are clean with TV, Bathroom etc. The breakfast and the entrance area are great, but the rest of the hotel is very small including the pool. The beach is a 5 minute walk away but a nice one. for party makers the patong beach is a 15 min ride away, but this place is quiet and nice. the beach is small , 500m, but with massage and bars equipped. all in all a good place to stay!

Good location and nice design. Regular rooms and service are bad. The hotel has good location for either going out to the nearby beaches and chilling out. There is a great Catch bar from the next door Twinpalms hotel, as well as the Plaza shopping mall that is walking distance. However, please make sure to take the most expensive room as all the others are quite bad. Also take into the account that the service is very confused and usually lacking in all the relevant information that you might need. Nice place but needs improvement.

- nice rooms
- stylish ambient
- good breakfast Stayed our last two nights at the Manathai after three weeks of backpacking tour throughout Southwest Thailand. Good place to relax and calm down before you go back to stressful Europe.
Stayed during pre-season '08/'09 and it was very nice and calm. We got a great room at one of the pools for a good rate. The beach in Surin is just great and there are great places to go (The Silk Restaurant, Catch Beach Club).

Lovely decor & pool areas
Nice breakfast
Clean common areas
Free internet
Secure room safe
Staff friendly (despite language barrier) rooms at discount price are smaller, and with no decent sized windows.
Room door not very secure - A good kick would allow access (no chains or internal locks).
Language barrier made it a little difficult to organize taxi (given 4 star rating, I'd expect a little better English).
Private beach area needs some revamping to better match the standard of the hotel. Lovely hotel, with a few smaller points that need attention for it to truly become a 4 star hotel. its really 3 star with a 4 star decor. But thoroughly enjoyed my stay. No problems with internet booking.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Surin Beach is lovely, but its not a spot for partying - that's not a problem, but make sure you're not after a wild holiday, if you book here.

It's good value in a great location, but best for short stays. The pools are small and feel crowded by all the surrounding rooms. The beach is a short walk away, through the hotel and across the road. It's good if you're in Phuket for a reason and use the hotel as a place to base yourself, but if you're there to enjoy the facilities, you might want to consider somewhere else.
