very good hotel
Just stayed 10 nights at Baumanburi. Very good. Modern clean hotel. Room good size and comfortable with air conditioning, fridge, kettle and lots of tv channels. Excellent location -- 10 mins on foot to beach and, in other direction, 10 mins to Bangla nightlife and Jungceylon shopping. If you go to bed early and don't want late-night cabaret in bed, request a room on the other side to the Hard Rock Cafe! Great, long courtyard pool. Bubble features and water massage but, because shaded by trees/buildings, water cooler than the warm sea. Very pleasant Happy Hour, 5-7pm -- 2 for 1 cocktails (around160 baht) and Chang/Leo beer (75 baht). Fabulous buffet breakfast: fresh fruit (water melon, pineapple, papaya, small local bananas), cereals, croissants/pastries and hot dishes (eggs/ham or Thai fried rice/chicken/fish/curry). Restaurant also had good steak special (soup/hot roll; sirloin steak/salad/fries; fresh fruit) for 299 baht. For Thai food, excellent non-touristy Isaan restaurant just 2 side streets away ("Lap ped", at bottom of Welcome Inn, near Shaker's).
Hotel staff helpful and friendly. Only problem, a shower which sometimes flooded part of the bathroom. Internet available (200 baht for 2 hours). Also, newspapers and a wide selection of books -- in Finnish!! Other guests a massive mixture of Russians, Australians, Chinese and Koreans. Hotel 45 mins from Phuket airport (taxi 650-750 baht).
Very enjoyable stay. Phuket is great. Would recommend.
