Check-in New Malaysia Thailand | Phuket InterContinental Resort's Special Dining
| Phuket InterContinental Resort's Special Dining.
🏨【Hotel Address】: 333, 333/3, Moo 3, Kamala, Kathu, Phuket, Thailand 83150, Kamala Beach, Phuket, Thailand. For us Chinese, it's more practical to use navigation~
🌆【Decor Style】: The lobby is open, but there is no draft, it's very hot! And there are a lot of mosquitoes, I got bitten more than 5 times during the check-in process. Strongly suggest to prepare mosquito repellent.
🛏【Room Type/Layout】: This time I experienced the standard room with a pool view. There are not many sea view rooms in this hotel, so everyone should book a sea view room as early as possible~ As a Diamond member, I chose breakfast as the welcome gift, but still received welcome nuts in the room. Since the hotel was just opened in 2019, the room facilities are very new, and the mattress is very comfortable, but one big problem is that the room area is too small! There is a big sofa on the balcony, which really takes up a lot of space. In contrast, the bathroom is very spacious and can fit a large bathtub. Maybe people who come on vacation don't have much luggage, the room is lackluster, just an ordinary five-star hotel, nothing much worth taking pictures of.
🚌【Transportation Strategy】: After landing by plane, it takes about 40 minutes to reach the hotel by car, and the luggage is taken over by the service staff as soon as you get off, the service is very nice~ Since it is a resort, it is recommended that everyone still go to the hotel by booking a pick-up service, after all, it will be much more convenient~
⛺【Recreation Projects】: The famous White Temple's first floor (entrance on both sides) is where the hotel SPA is located. I booked the SPA in advance and chose the cheapest traditional Thai massage for 60 minutes, 3500 baht including tax, no essential oil. It's a result of not wanting to spend too much money but wanting to experience it. Big bosses can try the package that costs nearly 10,000 baht, impeccable service! Also, the spa cost can be charged to the room account, but it probably doesn't accumulate points. The hotel's main swimming pools are two, the main pool is next to the beach, and there are several pools between the rooms, mainly divided into public pools and semi-private pools with pool access on the first floor. Remember to apply sunscreen when swimming, otherwise, you'll get sunburned and peel.
🍩【Restaurant Features】: The most worthy thing to talk about this hotel is the dining. It was the ceiling of the taste buds of my trip to Thailand, which raised my expectations, and then I felt that the restaurants in the following hotels were just average;
(1) First of all, I have to mention the InterContinental's flagship restaurant, Jaras. I booked a seat in advance and chose an indoor one by the window. Overall, the feeling of eating is that there are basically no blind spots, each dish has its own flavor and characteristics. I highly recommend the stir-fried vegetables (forgot the name), crab cakes, and Ka Pao, which are really delicious, especially the vegetables have a strong smoky taste, highly recommended! The restaurant won the Michelin award in 2022 and 2023;
(2) Outside Jaras restaurant is the Pine Beach Bar, mainly some cocktails and Western food, but all the hot food here is made and served from Jaras, so the quality is very guaranteed! Paired with the beach and pool, this is the most comfortable spot in the hotel;
(3) Opposite Pine is another bar of InterContinental, 333 at the beach, which is more social, mainly various drinks, and there is a Fire Show at night. Book a front-row table in advance, the view is very nice. The price of drinks is similar to Beijing, a cocktail is about 400 baht, and with tax, it's less than 100 RMB. Alcohol drinks do not have a discount for members, and there is a fireworks show 15 minutes after sunset~
(4) After introducing the three restaurants by the sea in the hotel, let's talk about the lobby bar's afternoon tea. Because I saw that the afternoon tea was only 850 baht/person in advance, I felt it was very cost-effective, so I booked it. Overall, the taste is standard, the savory items are average, and the desserts are great, but eating too much will make you feel greasy. What needs to be praised is that before choosing tea, the waiter will let you try the smell of the tea leaves first, then let you choose, which is very considerate,
(5) Pinto is the hotel's breakfast restaurant, which is open until 10:30. Personally, I think the breakfast at such a resort hotel in Thailand should start later, but it's also 10:30 sharp for the end of the meal. However, it can be said that breakfast also inherits the good tradition of Jaras, with excellent taste. Highly recommend the freshly cooked noodles and pastries, the noodles are very fresh and sweet, and the pastries are very crispy and fragrant. The egg station is also made to order, and salmon and such are not limited in quantity. The breakfast is exquisite and can be said to be better than most domestic hotels.
💴【Average Consumption】: As a resort hotel with a dining feature, the price is relatively high, this will cost several thousand yuan in RMB. It is recommended that everyone still book through Ctrip as early as possible, there should be a lot of discounts~
🧡【Tips】: Phuket InterContinental is a completely resort-style hotel, but unlike Samui InterContinental, it does not focus on sea views, but on dining, which is why a hotel can have 7 restaurants. If you want to go to the sea or enjoy the sea view, then Phuket InterContinental is not suitable, but if you want to soak in the hotel, swim, have a spa, and have a couple of drinks on the beach chair, then this is the perfect place~
