Alpina Phuket Nalina Resort & Spa

+ We stayed at this awesome resort june 2019 and it was absolutly amazing. The rooms(we had a pool access room) we awesome, staff were awesome, breafast was to die for and the location was so central to everything. We were due to stay there again this june 2020 but due to this covid 19 virus we have to wait untill june 2021. Highly reconmended Resort.

+ Some people can afford to pay for perfection, good, then go elsewhere. This is what you look for if you have a family to pay for and want a very nice, but not magnificent place to stay at a good price. Wifi speed is MUCH better than last time a few years back but signal can still be a bit dodgy, if you have a balcony room you should be fine. Fabulous pool, gym could be better, restaurant food is good but expensive by Kata standards. A safe and secure place. Nice vibe with Thai people who are really struggling with all the different languages they have to deal with these days. English is tough enough but it now includes Russian and Chinese, so please be kind ...and patient.

+ Enjoyed our stay. We had a room with swim up access which was fun. Pool area generally was good, big enough for the numbers of people without being crowded & deep enough for a decent swim. Breakfast buffet was great, wide variety of choices & good coffee. Hotel is a bit tired in places & while not dirty by any means it wasn’t cleaned as well as others we stayed in on this trip. This was a good base for our visit to Kata, the immediate area was quiet yet it was only a 10 min walk to all the beach side restaurants & bars.

+ If you want a hotel that is very clean, very friendly, has excellent staff, gives excellent service, a breakfast that suits all and a free hourly transfer to and from Kata beach (5 to 10 minutes level walk away), this is the hotel for you. It is also one of the hotels that organised trips pick you up from for free. (Our current hotel tours charge 2000tbh to pick you up.) Truthfully, the rooms and reception are a little tired, but within a very short time we saw past that, because everything else was so good. We've stayed in three hotels this trip, one was a 5*, the Alpina was the best of them all.

+ Great breakfast buffet. Place is clean but old and outdated.

+ Stayed for 6 nights over xmas 2019. Were given a 'free upgrade' upon arrival but were left feeling very underwhelmed at the condition of the room. Whilst clean, it was extremley outdated, tired and did not reflect the photos from Hotels.com or the price we had paid. In fairness to the hotel, they were very quick to apologise and resolve this, providing us with a suite which felt more in line with our booking costs. The restaurants at the hotel were uninspiring and despite the busy time of year were very quiet, as such didnt each in any of them. Breakfast was included with our stay and was satisfactory. Pool area was great for families, however, there were a few points such as loose tiles or broken slats which had the potential to cause accidents and should be rectified for future guests. After walking around the Kata bay, this hotel does appear to be one of the best on offer, particularly for families. The shuttle bus is both helpful and at hourly intervals throughout the day d
