Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Elephant abusing kills the vibe of this place. Not much shops and quiet place. Local restaurant is tempting, but has so horrendous karaoke singer that we couldnt go there. There are fireants at plazas grass, which my wife got lot of painful bites.

Half empty due to shop closures, mart has closed following death of owner, but there are 3 other options locally now.
Struggling, like every other business in the area.

Like turtle village, there is nothing to see here. The only shop of interest was the minimart but even that didn't have a good variety of options. Guests are better off taking the shuttle bus into Phuket town!

This plaza used to be so vibrant, but it has lost almost of its shops to the competion at the Turtle Village shopping area nearby. Mai Khoa Plaza needs to add a few shady benches for visitor seating, some music, and perhaps spend a little money on evening entertainment. The Plaza is currently visitor unfriendly and no reason to go there except for money exchange. I really feel bad for the current shop owners.

Little shopping center near the Marriott hotels
It's quite small with limited shops. Idea for groceries, getting some souvenirs or having different food than the hotel.
There is a free shuttle from Renaissance to here every 1h.
It's good for a change of scenery

Had dinner nearby - two baby elephants kept out for hours earning baht in the shopping centre at night. Don't go. Would leave a bad review for the elephant 'home' nearby but they don't have a TripAdvisor page 😡

Staying down the road and have passed by a couple of times in the evening. Was really sad to see on each occasion baby elephants with their handlers. I think they're advertising some sort of 'sanctuary and mainly stand outside the Fisherman restaurant but one hangs out in the plaza. It is NOT cool. They're only small, have chains around their necks and look super stressed. Please please please stop this cruelty. We heard other tourists at our hotel a few nights ago saying how cruel it was too and now we've seen for ourselves. They're so sweet but don't deserve to be kept like this for the sake of tourists

Its one of the few options you have to go when staying at that area. couple of souvenir shops, mart, local fruit stall, seafood restaurant. They bring in elephants at night so you can feed them at 100baht a plate.
