Mida Grande Resort Phuket

Mida Grande Resort Phuket

Surin Beach
UPD: We Created a detailed YouTube review of the resort, demonstrating all facilities of the resort. Just Type in YouTube Search: ”Mida Grande Resort Phuket | Honest Review | Surin Beach” ______________________________________________________ Now, shortly about the place: the resort was built just before covid and it's cool, everything is so new. Also, there are plenty of facilities, gyms, a library, 6 swimming pools, a kids' room with a nanny, lounge bars, saunas, etc. BUT! The management of the hotel is not good (yet). The check-in time is constantly delayed (the official check-in is at 2 pm, but we were told to wait at least till 4 pm!). Rooms not cleaned properly. No forks/plates in the rooms with the kitchen....you have to go to reception and ask for them.

Surin Beach
We picked these apartments because we have been away for a few weeks and wanted the flexibility that an apartment gives you over a hotel. We were two couples and picked a three bedroom apartment so that we had at least two bathrooms, we got an apartment on the top floor which had a lovey big balcony and an upstairs roof terrace that was huge, with great views and table and chairs, etc, we had breakfast up there every morning, it was great. There's a really nice swimming pool too. There was the odd thing that was a bit tired, like the handle on one of the bi-fold doors was missing a screw so was hanging off, but generally this property is of an excellent standard.

The hotel is just off a street and open space on a commercial street in Surin Beach, just a few minutes from the beach. The rooms are on the second and third floors. The first floor is a restaurant that serves three meals. The breakfast can be served on the menu, which is very good. Service attitude is very good.

Surin Beach
This is the best of more than 10 hotels I have stayed in during my 36-day trip to Bangkok and Phuket! Later, Surin Beach, and even the main island of Phuket, can be the first choice: 1. Positive evaluation (1) About the hotel itself 1. Good location: 350 meters from Surin Beach bus stop and 500 meters from the beach 2. Quiet: The sound of the road after closing the window does not affect sleep, even I sleep with the window open, especially after 12 o'clock. Although the hotel has a rectangular cross section and the long side is perpendicular to the road, there is no room facing away from the road. 3. Good supporting facilities: diagonally across from 711, next to massage shop, restaurant, pharmacy, fruit stand (80 baht per kilo of mango, I only bought one 30 baht, and gave me two small bananas) 4. The front desk has good English and good service attitude 5. There is also a large restaurant/café at a reasonable price 6. No deposit (2) Regarding room 604 1. This location, internal and external environment, 150 yuan is very cost-effective. 2. The decoration is very new. 3. Large area: It feels more than 30 square meters. The bathroom is large, and there are a few boards on the wall for more stuff. 4. There are balconies, quite large, with good views, including mountain views, city views, and a small part of the sea view 5. The ventilation is very good, and there will be obvious polite convection after opening the doors and windows, probably because of the orientation (door east, window west). Convection is really powerful, without turning on the air conditioner. But don't open the door when it rains, the wind will blow the rain to the door. Drying clothes can be done overnight and facing the sun faster. 6. The air conditioner is small and new, especially the remote control feels good. Cannot hear the sound of the outside machine 7. The shower has strong hot water and can be adjusted in a large range. The nozzle can be moved, so I can use hot water to promote blood circulation. 8. The bed is big. 9. The room is fully equipped and has everything that should be. (1) There are medium-sized refrigerators, which only make some noises for a long time, which does not constitute an impact. (2) A horizontal board is also designed in front of the mirror of the writing desk, which is convenient for putting things, such as cosmetics. (3) There is also a small square table and 2 chairs with backrests, which is convenient for me to use a laptop. (4) There is a sofa. (5) There is a big closet 10. The floor tiles of the bathroom are very non-slip, even after a lot of water on the floor. 11. Lots of lights 12. Wifi is stable, laptop and mobile phone can be connected at the same time, no need to re-authenticate when going out, and the Internet is not slow 2. Negative evaluation (1) About the hotel itself 1. No problem (2) Regarding room 604 (The following are minor issues) 1. Wifi is very slow to transfer photos (100kb/s). I use true move card to establish hotspot transfer, which can be 2-5mb/s. This is the case in all hotels in Phuket. 2. There is only one trash can in the toilet. 3. It is convenient if you don't need to insert a card to get electricity.

Surin Beach
This was our first visit to Thailand and we went during the Easter holidays. The hotel is 100 yds from Surin Beach, which is stunning. The whole look of the hotel is very 'Thai / Buddhist'. It looks amazing. Not a huge hotel, but fantastic large clean rooms and 2 great pools. We had a pool access suite. No issues at all with direct entery into to the pool. Very handy to cool off. Big bedroom with a very big separate lounge where our 12 year old slept. Enormous bathroom. We popped into a few other local hotels and noticed that they were all busy but the amtmosphere is quiet and laid back (even though there were a lot of kids). Pool bar was great for lunch and drinks but only operated 12 -6. The main restaurant is the Oriental Spoon. Great breakfast and it was open for dinner (I have seen some reviews where it has not been open for dinner - which is very odd for a 5* hotel). Staff were wonderful and you're greeted with a welcome cocktail and a garland of flowers. We were Bed and Breakfast and we found the prices of food and drink to be a bit cheaper then the UK. e.g. A beer is around £3 Surin beach just across the road and is stunning, but as with most beaches in Thailand they're public beaches and they don't allow sundbeds or bars etc. Instead a little 'village' has sprung up at the back of the beach with sunbeds and 20+ pop up restauarnts and shops. To be honest, its a little bit grotty. We had lots of walks along this beach but didn't really stay on it. The hotel runs shuttle buses to its sister hotel the Monte Azure and 2 beach clubs in Bang Tao. Its about a 10 miunte drive to the beach clubs and they are great. I'll do a sepaate review of Catch Beach club and the Lazy coconut. I do have a couple of negative points but I thinks its more Phuket as we noticed these issues in several hotels. 1. Aircon. Rooms are no problem, but reception and the restauarnt have no walls so you're technically outside (even if you don't realise it). Therefore no AC. This was the same in every hotel we visisted not just the Twinpalms. In April it was around 32 degrees and very humid. Not unbearable but def. not comfortable. This might be a reason for for my second issue. 2. Very quiet in the evenings. The restarants shut at 9.30pm and there isn't a bar. We sometimes like to have a few beers at the end of the night but this wasn't an option. We don't stay out late but nothing to do after 9.30 felt a little stange. Again this was in every hotel we visisted. Just very low key! All in all it still a 5 star review and we would def. go back now we know what to expect.

Phuket Surin Beach Hotel Guide

A first-time guide to Phuket: Things to Do, Transport & Tips

Phuket, Thailand's largest island, it’s a haven for all kinds of things to do. Patong Beach is the place to go for lively nightlife and water sports like jet skiing, while Kata Beach is a quieter spot, perfect for families and snorkeling. Karon and Kamala beaches are great for those looking to relax and enjoy the sea without the crowds.

There’s much to love about Phuket beyond its beautiful beaches. The island’s Old Town is full of colorful buildings that take you back to the days of tin barons, with markets and street food stalls. You can wander around the old town, enjoy fresh street food, or take a hike through the hills and waterfalls.😉

Getting To & Around Phuket

Though Phuket is an island, getting here is surprisingly easy. With direct flights from major cities around the world, you'll land at Phuket International Airport (HKT) in no time.

Located in the island’s northern part, it's Thailand's second busiest airport, offering frequent flights from Bangkok and direct connections to Asia, the Middle East, India, and Australia. You can also catch seasonal charter flights from Europe. The airport has two terminals: Terminal 1 for international flights and Terminal 2 for domestic and charter airlines, both linked by a convenient air-conditioned walkway.

Phuket International Airport is about 32 km (20 miles) from popular destinations like Patong and Phuket Town.

  • To get to these areas, you can take the Phuket Smart Bus (100 baht, approx. $3), which runs from the airport to the west coast beaches.
  • Alternatively, you can use a municipal airport bus (100 baht, approx. $3) to Phuket Town, or a minibus, which offers door-to-door service and is faster, though prices may vary.
  • Metered taxis (500 baht, approx. $15) and limousine taxis (more expensive) are also available directly at the airport.

Where to Stay in Phuket

Where to Stay in Phuket🌴

Patong Beach: Phuket's most famous stretch of sand! 3km of beach with jet-skis, parasailing, and beach chairs everywhere. The water's not the clearest but the vibe is unbeatable. Behind the beach, Bangla Road comes alive at night with bars and clubs. Great street food at Malin Plaza night market, and Jungceylon mall for shopping and air-con breaks. Perfect for first-timers who want action!

Kata Beach: My favorite all-rounder! Crystal clear water (amazing for snorkeling around the rocks), surfing waves from May-October, and the most gorgeous sunset views. More chilled than Patong but still plenty happening. Don't miss the viewpoint at Kata Noi - you can see all three bays! Lots of great Thai restaurants and beach bars without the crazy prices.

Nai Harn Beach: The local's secret! Stunning blue water and the island's best snorkeling spot (tons of fish around the rocky ends). Great for sailing - you can rent small catamarans right on the beach. The hills around here are gorgeous for sunset walks, and there's an amazing fresh seafood market nearby where locals eat. Way quieter than the north beaches.

Surin Beach: The fancy one! Super clear water, perfect for swimming, with million-dollar villas dotting the hills. Famous for beach clubs (check out Catch!) and high-end seafood restaurants. Great spot for stand-up paddleboarding when the sea's calm. Close to Boat Avenue for boutique shopping and cute cafes.

Top Things to Do in Phuket

Top Things to Do in Phuket

  • Patong Beach You can jump into some parasailing or jet-skiing if you want that thrill, or just chill with a cold beer while you watch the sunset. If you’re feeling bold, head over to the Bangla Road area, where the nightlife comes at you like a truck—bars, clubs, you name it.
  • Phuket Old Town While the beaches might steal the show, don’t sleep on Phuket Old Town. Walking through the streets here feels like stepping into another era with its Sino-Portuguese architecture, colorful buildings, and amazing street art. Make sure to stop by the local cafes and check out the unique markets for some quirky souvenirs.
Top Things to Do in Phuket
  • Racha Yai Island If you’re all about diving or snorkeling, Racha Yai Island is your ideal place. Seriously, this place has some of the clearest water I've ever seen. The coral reefs are pretty rad, and there's a ton of marine life swimming around. Take a speedboat out, grab your gear, and let the island's beauty do the rest.
  • Phi Phi Islands Picture clear blue waters, towering limestone cliffs, and beaches straight out of a postcard. You can catch a boat from Phuket and spend the day hopping between islands—snorkeling, sunbathing, and just taking in the beauty of it all.

When Should I Go to Phuket?

Phuket has two main seasons: dry and wet. If you're looking to escape winter, the best time to visit is late December to mid-April. February and March are the driest months, with daytime highs reaching 36°C (95°F)—perfect for those who want to soak up the sun. However, this is also when prices for hotels can be at their highest.

If you prefer to avoid the crowds and don't mind a bit of unpredictability with the weather, the shoulder season from late April to early June is a good option. While the rainy season officially starts in June, you can still get plenty of sunny days during this period. From September to mid-October, the island sees the heaviest rains, with storms often making diving difficult. But with lower humidity and fewer tourists, it can still be a great time to visit if you're looking for a quieter experience.
