Great location, great rooms & view, overall fantastic :)

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 10 Apr 2012
Just got back from an 8 night stay with my partner & our 2 kids (11 & 15) & overall we're very happy with this hotel. We were in rooms 107 & 108 which was a perfect location, close to the pool & not too far down the hill. Wouldn't want to be staying too far down the bottom as it's a looooong way down & a hard walk up to the main road. The rooms were very spacious & well fitted out. The staff at the pool bar were awesome but the one's at reception were quite rude & disinterested in any requests we made. There was a free shuttle into karon & patong each day but if u didn't book they wouldn't take u & if u were 2 mins late when booked they left without us, also had to pay extra to go into kata etc. Was a great location, 5 mins from patong & a 200 or 300 baht tuk tuk trip, just far enough away to be quiet but close enough to get amongst it. Breakfast was great & staff in restaurant lovely :) only ate at the pizza restaurant one night & although it was a nice feed it was very expensive, cost us about $60 aust dollars for four pizzas & 4 drinks. Kids loved staying here as the pool is great & not too crowded & they could order drinks, food & ice creams whenever they liked. Pool was very safe for the kids, not too deep or big that we couldn't find them & would've gladly let them stay in there all day alone. The only let down was the reception staff, but overall we loved it here & would come back :)

We had a wonderful time here!! Defiantly not a place for the kids tho!!!
My partner and I were here without the kids,as it was his first trip to Phuket I thought it better we stay out of patong!! He luved it!!! I loved our room and view, close to the pool and not to far down the hill!!! And it's a big hill!!!! We found the food gr8 but neither of us liked breaky,staff were helpful and always happy, organized all transfers and drove us into town whenever we liked!!!!! Overall the resort needs a bit of paint but for a budget price it is a gr8 spot!!!!!shame there is no beach access.

Room tip: Ask for a room near the pool!!!!!

We stayed at the Secret Cliff for our 3 last nights on our journey. We had a nice room with somewhat hidden view (lots of trees covering). The hotel area is really hilly so it is definitely not recommended for the disabled. For being quite a big resort the pool is much undersized. We learned that we could use a pool at another resort across the street but we never did. we had some great Italian food at the restaurant beside the road although it was a bit noisy to eat there with all the traffic passing. The hotel is situated on top of the Karon Cliff right in between of Karon and Patong and have free shuttle to both areas. But now to the best thing of all, the spa. It is really clean and nicely furnished and the staff is friendly and very skilled. Try it out!
If you go to Patong, skip the shopping down at the beach road and go to the OTOP market situated at the Hard Rock Café. Much calmer, not so pricy. But still very pushy sales persons :(

Very nicely managed garden, fair restaurant, best cliff view to have a budget drink or lunch. pool is small, nice to have secret, but too lay back for young people. get a motor bike to go around . room was rejected by my wife, toilet was 1 star. okey for matured easy going people. definitely not up to 4 stars. good bargain in low season.

We checked out one of the dining guides we grabbed from somewhere and just picked a restaurant. This one looked good, lovely location. Was a winner, it was a very quiet day for the staff, so we had brilliant service. The food was great, good prices. Would be a lovely location for a wedding or gathering of groups. The resort looked lovely would even concider staying here.
Was a little difficult to get a cab but no biggy. We would go back again.

This was the first hotel of our trip, we booked it for 2 nights. Only good thing was, that in the room were extra towels and beach bag.But then it started.
On the first day I went to reception and told that our toilet isn´t working. I was there also in the next morning, problem stayed, next evening-twice. Every time they said that they will be there and the problem will be fixed.
On the second day our room wasn´t also cleaned.
On the final day the manager was there, I asked her to come and see that the problem stays, but she refused. She just stood there at the reception looked me into the eye and sayd: "we have cleaned your room every day and we fixed the toilet." I nicely asked her again to come to my room and see, but like I said, she refused.
I didn´t want to pay full price of this low quality room and service. Manager refused to make any discount and she threatened to call the police.
I've never stayed at such a horrible hotel and I don´t recommend it to anyone!
