Maprao Island Trip

We stayed 3 nights, staff were delightful, bed comfy, shower powerful, hairdryer and shampoo/shower gel provided, great air conditioning, amenities good - we used the gym and the pool, and the hotel was very central, a 10 min stroll to the beach, lots of shops and restaurants and the Kata Walking Night Market very close by - the food there was very good. We didn't breakfast at the hotel but did do an Italian buffet night, food was plentiful and good. My only small gripes were 1. whilst there was an enormous amount of storage space in the kitchenette area, but there were only 2 forks and 2 spoons and a few bowls, a saucepan and no other cooking utensils at all...fortunately we didn't do any cooking. 2. only 1 mirror in the bathroom, at waist height, and one tucked in a recess where it was too small and too dark to see anything. 3. only 1 toilet roll provided, no spare!

The hotel offers access to 3 different pools. I had read online reviews mentioning mold, but we didn't see any mold damage in the building we stayed. However, other buildings have rooftop pools, which might be the cause of mold. There's a shuttle to Kata beach. During our stay the shuttle wasn't going to Karon beach. It's near plenty of other hotels, restaurants, spas, and 15 minute walk to Kata beach.
