We chose La Flora Patong maninly because of its beachfront location. La Flora Patong is one of the only two beachfront resorts on Patong. It is at its soft-opening stage. We previously stayed in Twinpalms on Surin beach and Arahmas on Nai Yang beach so this time we would like to feel what is like in Patong. Compared to the other resorts we had stayed, we were a little disappointed of the size of the resort(boutique does not equate small!). The decor/color scheme of the hallways and rooms seems a bit too blend. Despite the hotel is brand new, we already found cracks in some of the tiles and rust stain in the the bathroom. I think this is a problem of craftsmanship.
As said, the hotel is on a small and narrow property, literally squeezed between Starbucks and McDonald's. There is not much space at all for us to walk around the resort. Though, it is close to many shops and Juncelyon Shopping center is within walking distance. The lobby is noisy as it is facing the main street, however, the rooms are tucked away towards the beach so noise wasn't an issue.
Service was good. Staff was very nice and helpful. Problems (toilet kept plugging) were addressed promptly. Turn down service was nicely done (replenished bottled water/towels/drinks).
If luxury, beachfront and Patong is your choice, La Flora Patong shall please you. We personally found Patong too touristy for us.
