Norn Talay Surin Beach Phuket

View and location to the beach! Surin Beach is relatively uncrowded, clean and safe. Plenty of local restaurants along the beach. The rooftop pool was wonderful ( however see below). Staff were very friendly and helpful( some things a little lost in translation as not much English spoken but that’s one of the fun cultural aspects of travel!) Breakfast buffet style was provided in our rate— good quality but geared a bit more to the Asian diet ( e.g fried rice, stir fries, curry, salads etc) but toast, jams, coffee, tea, eggs were available.

The hotel very kindly upgraded us to a room on level 3 which had access to an infinity pool from its balcony. The views across the beach and the bay were stunning, even in the rain. The bed was super comfortable and the hotel staff were excellent.

Great hotel, amazing location close to the beautiful beach, shops, restaurants and market. Easy access from the airport (even using public transport). Room was cozy and spacious with a balcony overlooking the sea! Very comfortable bed. Bathroom was great, I liked the wooden finishes and details. Everything was very clean. Staff extremely polite, especially mister working as a security/doorman! Very helpful and engaged man! Breakfast was always delicious!!! Lots to choose and always very tasty, menu changing every day. In the lounge area there is a tea/coffee/juice/water and cookies station. We also used swimming pool on the top of the building, lovely during evening to chill. Worth mentioning that some rooms have private pools! WiFi was good. You can also rent scooters from a family living next to the hotel, great people! Overall perfect stay!

The views from the rooms are amazing and the pool is very nice. Few steps and you’re on the Surin beach so it was perfect! Good breakfast but nothing special. Also you can walk to beautiful laem sing beach from the hotel and it takes about 15min. Staff was very helpful and around 24/7 so if there was anything bothering us we were able to contact them any time of day. You can loan towels to the beach and pool which was nice.

As I was on my own for a few days I couldn't justify a more expensive hotel and this had everything I wanted at a good price - outstanding view, direct access to a smaller quiet beach but with a choice of food and drinks nearby. To be fair I couldn't find anything else meeting my needs within good distance of Patong/Airport so feel lucky to have found it. Check in was easy, the very clean comfortable room had a killer view. No sound from adjacent rooms. I'd definitely stay again as a solo or couple, not ideal for family. I only a required a basic breakfast so a couple of pancakes and some fruit sufficed. The bathroom size and layout is fine and larger than many European bathrooms. Personally I love a proper key to an electronic one.
