“Little tropical Gem amidst hustle of patong beach”

We stayed for three weeks with a short break away to phi phi mid stay. Two adults & our 13yr old daughter. The gardens are stunning and a rare find in the busy bustling area of patong beach. It is an escape from the intense sales pitch and traffic which you hear nothing of on entering viridian. It’s a small resort which we liked as felt less like crammed sardines in boxes in high rise hotels ( something we wanted to avoid) The hotel staff always had a smile and were courteous and polite. The place is such a gem and staff fully accommodating that whenever small issues arose they were rectified quickly e.g on a few occasions our safe died and wouldn’t open ( it was replaced then the second had a fault ( realised prob due to the electronic battery compartment being taped so the batteries had moved) this is Thailand!)the handy man was very fast to sort these things. Another observation was as guest numbers reduced so did the quality of breakfast ( having read reviews about poor breakfasts I was blown away by the opposite experience & thought it adequate and satisfactory, I asked for bacon to which it was provided and the girls made eggs to order also. There was fresh melon toasts and croissants too and Asian options. As it got quieter however with less guests the options reduced,less juice choice, and items unavailable which I thought a shame. I have to say I did email the manager though and he was so apologetic and accommodating, on our last day we had an early departure and they made breakfasts boxed for us all ready. Apechet had also gone to the trouble of warming croissants & bacon for us. He was open to our feedback and as stated it is a lovely resort that just needs that bit more TLC to ensure it’s beauty isn’t lost. The rooms are spacious cleaned thoroughly daily with fresh towels and bottled water.the shower always hot with great flow. The location is just perfect with easy distance to the beach and shopping centre, and access to Banzaan market of a night time. It suited us all and I would recommend. Thankyou to all the hardworking staff who dedicate themselves , hope the hotel is loved enough to realise how special it can be. Additional suggestion also other than general maintenance and painting, would be poolside drinks & snack provision Overall we would return, Thankyou.

“Centrally Located”

The Viridian resort is centrally located, about a five-minute walk to the bustling Bangla Road. It is somewhat of an oasis amongst the craziness of the surrounding area.

The Viridian resort is centrally located, about a five-minute walk to the bustling Bangla Road. It is somewhat of an oasis amongst the craziness of the surrounding area. The resort itself is a little dated. The pool area is lovely and relaxing but our room was a little drab, and we were unfortunate in the fact we did not have a balcony. The room was quite spacious and the bed very comfortable to get a good night’s sleep. The WIFI worked quite well. The restaurant and bar areas are still closed as of December 2022. They do plan to reopen but no one could give me a date as to when this may happen. Outside of the resort there are numerous restaurants, bars and massage shops (many staffed by ladyboys in this area) and Jungceylon and Central Plaza are a short walk away. The beach is a leisurely 10-minute walk from the resort. All in all, a pleasant stay so if you are looking for something centrally located, quiet and at a budget price then Viridian is not a bad choice.

I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights during the month of February 2020. the room was very good, the hotel is just close to patong and patong beach, the location is perfect. I wasn’t a huge fan of the breakfast and the swimming pool but I had a great time in Phuket thanks to the tour guy which name is Pat. He showed as more than one activities to do during our trip, and all of them were amazing!!! He planned everything and responded to all of our questions. I think that the location of the hotel and Pat are the best things of this hotel.
