Micky Monkey Beach Hotel Phuket Maikhao Thailand recensioner

This place has the wow factor! Despite having basic facilities, it is comfortable and clean in a beach location that is stunning, amazing, quiet, relaxing, chilling…..need I go on! It is positioned between posh hotels, yet has much more charm and authenticity. There is full access to the entire beach for miles. The chickens roaming around and the beach massage huts give a special charm of ‘Old Thailand’. Food is available in the outside restaurant and while choice is limited, it is tasty and cheap. Perhaps fruit at breakfast would help. Staff are friendly, not gushy, but efficient and helpful. We moved on to other busier parts of the island and to more modern hotels but regretted that we hadn’t stayed longer at Micky Monkey. Def. one of the nicest places I’m ever likely to visit. Very affordable and excellent value for money. I’d thoroughly recommend the beach villa/ bungalow. It’s not a campsite by any means!

There is a photo uploaded of a bed with hanging curtain and a direct view of the beach. In reality it's nothing at all like this, the wooden cabins have since had smaller cabins built in front of them, obscuring their view from the beach, and even between the rooms and the beach is a great big chicken wire fence, that is not shown in any photos. The restaurant area has no billiards table, another thing that is untrue and in photos online. And there are chickens everywhere that make noise throughout the night, and roosters on-site that call at 4am sunrise. Despite all this, the access to the beach makes it worth the stay. The beach is very, very quiet and the sunsets there are the best I've ever seen. Inside the rooms themselves is very nice, they have done a great job with decor and paint, we stayed during our anniversary and they arranged towel swans on the bed, excellent thought gone into the service. Would recommend a 1-night stay here on your way to the airport at the end of your trip, the beach sunset is honestly unforgettable.

While driving in and around Mai Khao beach district you will notice gorilla face advertising everywhere. We pass Micky Monkey daily when we stay in Phuket, so after 3 years we finally took the plunge . As with other reviews we too found the staff stand offish but warmed up after the initial contact. Micky's is located on Mai Khao beach, with chickens and their chicks roaming freely around the eclectic furniture during the day. We found the food to be average not sure if this was due to low season and not much food on hand, which is what we hope. We ordered mini spring rolls and chicken wings. Presentation was on point. The spring rolls were warm but the wings were very hot. Clearly the kitchen timing was off. We moved closer to the beach with beers in hand to watch the sunset. Food & drinks are very affordable 600Bht = $25 AUD. We will give this family restaurant another go. ** Side note Micky Monkey featured on "Travels with my father" tv show, worth a view.

We stayed at the Renaissance next door so can't comment on the accommodation. What I would like to review is the food and drinks. Initially we found the staff a little surly , but a few smiles and compliments about the food seemed to make a difference. We found the food to be very good. We tried most of the dishes including their club sandwich , which I found to be one of the best club sandwiches I've tasted! The Thai dishes were outstanding, the Tom Yum soup was the best I've ever had. The chicken with cashews, shrimp dishes, pineapple fried rice and pad Thai were very tasty, all at very reasonable prices. The watermelon drinks, coconut juice were col and delicious, as were all the cocktails which were half the price of our hotels. Then there's the location with stunning views of the sunsets. By the end of our holiday the staff were friendly and pleased to serve us.

Die Buchung erfolgte mit schönen Fotos der Cottages, welche auch zum Mieten sind. Wir mieten offensichtlich eine alte Bambushütte zu stolzen USDollar 70 pro Nacht. Beim Einchecken wird gefragt, ob wir AC wollen. Kein AC gebucht also? Mit Aufpreis wird nachgebessert. Nachher wird eine Hütte zuwiesen mit sage und schreibe 6 m2 (2.5 M x 2.5 M). Neben dem Bett hat es 60 cm Platz auf nur 2 Seiten. Kein Tisch, kein Stuhl, nichts zum Aufhängen. Wo und was haben wir nur gebucht? Wir haben uns blenden lassen von der Lage zum Meer. Tatsächlich liegen die 5 Bambus-Bungalows nur 30 Meter vom langen Sandstrand weg. Das ist top. Ansonsten liegt die Micky Monkey Beach Anlage sehr abgelegen neben 3-4 x so teuren Hotels. Eine - wenigstens - kleine Flaniermeile mit Ständen, Thai-Streetfood Restaurant gibt es nicht. Flaute.
