Fiji Palms Phuket

Good location ,though no beach access
Steve , the Owner is extremely helpful , and he is one of the best in this respect.

We booked thinking this was going to be a nice resort but it wasn't. When we first arrived there was no one there to greet us to check in. The place seemed run down. Currently, the owner Steve is the only one running the place. Steve greeted us when he came back, checked us in, advised us of the area, and told us about renting a motorbike across the street (great place to rent).
We went into the room to put our bags down and there were 8-10 cockroaches in the bathroom. Upon telling him, he immediately had a maintenance man come and patch the cracks in the bathroom and get rid of the cockroaches. While the bathroom problem was being fixed, he took us around the town to show us the area.
This hotel does not have beach access and the beach it's "near" is so dirty and filthy with trash we were afraid of stepping foot on it. There are concrete steps however down to the rocky area water, which you can rent a canoe and paddle around the ocean. It was rare seeing Steve around as one night we wanted to play pool but no one was around to get the sticks and balls from.
After we had motorbiked around during the day we would come back and swim in the over-cholorinated pool, which made the eyes sting and burn. Unfortunately the bathrooms at the pool are dirty so would not suggest to use them.
Beds are not comfy and the air con was loud!
Overall, we were disappointed with our stay as the place was run down and not well maintained. Would not come back to this hotel ever.

A great experience. Meet really cool people and Steve (the owner/manager) is very helpful and takes great care of his guest. Stay here if you are looking for a quiet, yet friendly place where travel is about the people you meet.

We would have stayed longer as Steve is an absolute star, very helpful, took us in his car to see a hidden waterfall, a great beach (called the hidden beach but actually a where the Thais go at the weekend), he dropped us at a beach bar and we spent a great evening with him. Unfortunately the room we were given looked like it hadn't been used in a while as there were cobwebs all over, the AC didn't work, it was very dusty and bathroom needed thorough clean. We booked a bungalow but got a room. I believe there are only 2 proper bungalows. The rest are just classic rooms I recommend to book seafront room as they looked much better. The place has a 24 hour shop right opposite and you can rent a bike for 250 baht a day nearby. Despite some funny stories from Steve about terrible guests, the people staying there were all very friendly and laid-back, and not your typical Phuket crowd at all. In fact the place and the area felt like an entirely different island. In short, the friendliest host we had in 6 weeks by miles, but the place needs a good spring clean.

Das Hotel ist ganz nett. Der Hotelbesitzer und sein Angestellter super nett und hilfsbereit. Ausflüge, Tipps, Hilfe jeglicher Art kein Problem. Wurden immer zu einem tollen Strand gefahren und wieder geholt. Teilweise müsste das Hotel und das Gelände saniert werden. Moskitoschutz so gut wie nicht vorhanden. Klimatisierung ok. Frühstück ist ganz in Ordnung. Würden wieder kommen.

The staff was perfect, he was so friendly and so kind.
The pool was clean and we can swim 24h.
There are 24h supermarket, some delicious cheep restaurants, clinic and others in one minute walk.

If I visited to Thailand again, I will stay here.

Très bon séjour accueil génial de Steve le propriétaire
Il faut loué un scooter pour aller à la plage car impossible de se baigner à la plage de l'hôtel il y a un manque d'activité au alentour pour les jeunes aussi tout et parfait

We stumbled upon this gem needing a quick place to stay and ended up booking another night stay and spending the day cruising the area and eating locally at the great restaurants. Steve is an amazing host and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable as possible. It's not in a "touristy" part and really gave us the full experience. The sun rises and sets on the water over some mountain in the distance and you get a perfect view!!! Highly recommend you stay at Fiji Palms. We will most definitely be going back.

Nice stay with friendly host Steve who helped us out with local transportation and booking

quiet spot, nice pool, budget rooms with nice view over the water.
Good Value for money but not for people looking for Luxury accommodation and full service

Mannen som ägde hotellet var lite speciell. Han var snäll och hjälpsam till en början, men jag och min vän berättade att vi skulle till Phi Phi och han sa att han kunde köra oss till hamnen och boka våra biljetter för 600 baht, och så skulle han ta extra 300 baht för bensinen till sin bil. Men dagen därpå läste jag på internet att man kunde få biljetter för 350 baht. Mannen blev väldigt irriterad när jag nämnde det och snäste ifrån på en gång. Då ville han helt plötsligt inte hjälpa oss längre och sa istället då: jag bokar er en taxi till 11:30 så får ni åka och köpa biljetter själva. Ok säger jag men kan vi inte riskera att ej få följa med båten då? Troligtvis svarar mannen. Utan att bry sig. Då säger jag (för övrigt var jag väldigt övertrevlig hela konversationen) att vi gärna tar hans hjälp men då ville han inte hjälpa oss längre. Kändes lite mysko. Till sist fick vi fråga honom igen efter någon timme när han lugnat sig (jag menar hotellets läge ligger i en förort/slummen) så vi kunde inte få tag på annan resebyrå eller taxi till piren, så det kändes som att vi var lite i beroendeställning till honom. Iallafall, då bad vi att få åka med honom igen och han sa tillslut att det gick bra. Men det var verkligen inte kul. Hotellet var okej annars. Glipa mellan dörren och terassen så kackerlackor kunde gå in som dom ville. Poolen var trasig på sidorna så man kunde skära sig om man rörde kanterna på den.

Wir hatten zwei total nette nächte. Steve der Besitzer ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Macht auch eine Führung und zeigt das wichtigste. Es ist nicht viel los in der gegend aber zum entspannen genau das richtige. Zimmer sind sauber und auch komfortabel.

Steve è fantastico vi aiuterà in qualsiasi cosa vogliate fare

Steve is very helpful but this place needs a thorough overhaul as it is pretty dated. But would it be money well spent? No.
Although located right on the waters edge you won't want to swim here as it is too rocky, very murky and uninviting. The nearest swimming beach is 2 kms. away.
It is peaceful and quiet but so many nicer places.
Eat in local restaurants as they are so much cheaper than those foreign owned.

Vi valde ställer pga av de recensioner ägaren Steve hade fått tidigare om att han tog hand om gästerna på ett positivt sätt. Vi blev inte besvikna och Steve tog med oss på en liten " round trip" där vi besökte ett vattenfall, Phuket aquarium samt en strand. Vi besökte också en lokal skola som Steve hjälper till och undervisar i. Fiji palms är ett ställe som lyfter sig pga Steve men är annars också ett bra budgetalternativ med AC, toa, dusch med varmvatten, pool, bra Wifi, tv med många kanaler mm. För att bada så behöver man ta sig till någon strand ett par kilometer längre bort alt till av de närliggande öarna. Vill också nämna Steves anställda de var väldigt barnvänliga så ett tack till de också.En sammanfattning gällande stället är att Steve är bäst emedan resterande är ett backpacker de luxe ställe.

The resort needs some upgrades and the owner Steve was upfront about it with us the moment we arrived. He said he'd make it up to us and he absolutely did. The service that Steve provides is 5 stars and you won't be disappointed. He showed us around and took us to some amazing hidden gems of Phuket.
