Staff were very attentive, Khun Gem was very responsive to our needs and requests and went above and beyond to resolve any issues. Kitchen staff and Chef were very welcoming and accommodating, even making pancakes daily for my son as a special request. Dara is perfectly situated for those with transport in Phuket. We had a van, and found that Dara was great to access all of the island, very central, and close to the charm of the old Phuket Town. The Movie/Hollywood theme of Dara sets it apart from other hotels, and gives it a unique character.

The Dara represents great value. The hotel price point for high season in Phuket is very reasonable. Some adjustments were needed to make our visit comfortable, however; the staff made those adjustments that were necessary for us.

Breakfast was more or less the same every morning but was still good. Location was good especially if you do not want to be in a noisy area.

Bedding was not changed twice when we requested room service, they just made the bed and used the same sheets and we had booked for a couple of nights but we did not make a big deal out of it as we were happy with everything else. You only get one door key and have to pay extra for an additional one.

The beds were comfortable and we had room service everyday which was great as we got new towels and bottles of water everyday. Staff were extremely nice and accommodating.

The showers weren’t the best as there was no shower curtain so every time we would shower, the water would go everywhere in the bathroom. We can hear outside our room very easily which wasn’t good as we’d get woken up early by people talking loudly outside the room.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, the room was comfortable the facilities were good and the location was close to Phuket town and opposite Phuket Central. The staff were very friendly and super helpful.

Only negative was the buffet breakfast the hot western food section was cold when you went to get it and that made it unpleasant to eat. Need to turn the warmer up.

The hotel was nice and there was a lovely cafe beside it. Room was very large as was bed and that was very comfortable. Staff were nice and accommodating and restaurant in the hotel was good. Deck was large and nice. Air conditioning worked well.

The shower didn't have a curtain so whenever you ran at it the whole bathroom got wet. The shower also didn't drain properly.

The room was nice, clean, with a nice balcony. And also the pool was nice

The water pressure was pretty much non exsistant. Also we wanted to order drinks by the pool at around 3 p.m. and they said they were closed for dinner. I don't know if this was an isolated thing or do they always close so early but it was a minor inconvenience.

Was very nice every day always fresh

Not close enough to walk anywhere always taxi

Very convenient location, close to the phuket central shopping centre which had amazing food options! Room was very comfortable however the bathroom was a little small and crowded. My boyfriend and I are quite tall so that could be more of a personal problem 😭

Everything was great all round, would just say the bathroom was a little small and could’ve been a bit cleaner :)

Nice decor and friendliest staff of all hotels we stayed in in Thailand. Close to Central shopping mall

A bit far from town but we knew beforehand so not really a complaint. The bus station is close enough for a quick ride to town. Breakfast could have a bit more variety but was decent enough.

location was great, it was walking distance to central phuket mall. there's a cafe and minimart in front of the premises as well. other establishments can be found around the area. staff was very warm and nice, communicating with them was not a hassle since they spoke good english.
