During our latest visit to Thailand, we stayed a few nights at Seabed Grand Hotel in Phuket. The lobby felt welcoming, and the warm and friendly staff added to our first impression. The elegant decor and tranquil atmosphere were also notable.
Seabed Grand Hotel is situated somewhat outside the most central parts of Phuket, which initially made us wonder if we would miss the lively atmosphere that the city offers. However, the calm surroundings instead contributed to a relaxing stay, free from the noise and hustle of the city.
Moreover, it was easy to get into central Phuket with a short taxi ride, which allowed us to enjoy both the tranquility of the hotel and the hustle and bustle of the city. The hotel's amenities and fantastic service more than made up for the slightly remote location, and overall, we found it to be perfectly fine.
Check-in and First Impressions
The check-in process was smooth, and the staff was very accommodating, setting the tone for our entire stay. The lobby, with its modern furnishings and large windows letting in natural light, gave a fresh and inviting first impression. After a quick and easy check-in process, we were escorted to our room.
Accommodation
The room was a perfect blend of comfort and luxury. The sleek decor, along with amenities like a large, comfortable bed, soft pillows, and a balcony overlooking the pool, made it hard not to feel pampered. The bathroom was spacious and well-equipped with a rain shower and luxurious toiletries, giving the feel of being in a five-star hotel.
Facilities
Seabed Grand Hotel offers an impressive array of facilities. The pool area was one of my favorites – a moderately sized pool surrounded by sun loungers and parasols. The hotel's gym was adequate, though one always wishes it was a bit larger.
Coconut Smoothie – A Tropical Dream
One of the most memorable parts of our stay was enjoying their fantastic coconut smoothie. Served in a fresh coconut, this smoothie was a perfect blend of creamy coconut milk, fresh coconut meat, and a hint of vanilla. It was both refreshing and filling, offering a taste of the tropics that complemented the warm Thai climate perfectly. It was a true delight to sit by the pool, the murmur of background chatter, and sip on this delicious drink.
Food and Drink
The hotel's restaurant was also impressive, with a wide range of dishes catering to all tastes. The breakfast buffet was abundant and varied, with both Western and Asian options. We had lunch there a couple of times, and it was very good. We had dinner in town, so I can't comment on the evening meals.
Service
The service at Seabed Grand Hotel was good, much as one would expect given the standard. The staff was always helpful, friendly, and professional. Whether it was providing recommendations for excursions or quickly addressing minor issues, their commitment to guest satisfaction was evident.
In summary, our stay at Seabed Grand Hotel in Phuket was very satisfying, and we would definitely consider staying here again. From the luxurious accommodations to the delicious food and the fantastic coconut smoothie, it was a pleasure.
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable vacation in Phuket.
I am already looking forward to my next visit and enjoying the outstanding hospitality and wonderful facilities at Seabed Grand Hotel again.
