We have just returned from a fabulous 10 day stay at Casa De La Flora. This resort is a 90 minute transfer from Phuket Airport. When we booked this resort through our agent, Trailfinders, we were told that the resort had been closed for renovations but we be open in time for our arrival on 18th December. However, on arrival we were welcomed by a very apologetic Liw, who informed us that our room which was to be the seafront pool villa suite would not be available for a few days, and that they had no alternative room they could offer until the next day. They offered to transfer us the 5 minute drive to a much larger sister hotel where our stay for one night would be all inclusive. The next morning we were taken back to Casa De La Flora and were given a very nice temporary room which was a duplex pool villa, at this stage we were told that our seafront room would be available in around 4 days. In compensation the resort would offer us full all inclusive accommodation along with free spa treatments which was very generous, therefore we used the superb resort restaurant every night. On Christmas Day we were transferred to our original room choice which had just been completed. This suite with the sea view is truly magical, especially the great sunsets just after 6pm at this time of year. The rooms are finished to an incredibly high standard with the bathroom areas particularly special. The private pool, decked area and double sun bed at the seafront pool suite villa was fabulous. Two large smart TV’s with Netflix, YouTube and a large number of international TV channels was also great. We used the spa for massage treatments 3 times, were welcomed by lovely staff and treated by very professional masseuses. This is definitely a must do if you are staying. The resort restaurant is fabulous with a very extensive menu. There is traditional Thai food but also great fish dishes, and even fish and chips and great pizza’s. Access to the long sandy beach is in front of the restaurant, we walked through the warm sea water for an hour towards the north every day, we only covered around half of the distance to the furtherest point in this time, the beach is very long, soft sand and largely deserted. Finally, apart from the location, stunning views, great accommodation and superb restaurant, it is the very special staff who make this resort what it is. Particular mention to Liw and also Im, Yui, Poppy and May in the restaurant. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this resort.
