We spent a week at B-Lay tong hotel for our honeymoon. My Dad
booked the accommodation through Scoopoun as he was
told its monsoon season and that is why this deal was available.
He called up the hotel first and told them that we would only be staying
5 nights instead of 7 which the deal offers. They said as we
are honeymooners they will do a complimentary offer and upgrade our room which
they did not. When we got there I complained and the
blue eyed European woman in administration was cold, unhelpful
and arrogant. I let it go though. The hotel picked us up
in a old bus but i gave him a tip anyway.
The complimentary gift for the honeymoon was just
a plate with chocolate smeared on it and like a few baby finger
fruits that you can't even eat. The bed was covered in red petals
shaped as a love heart. The room was very basic, but had a good
view of the mountain, pool and beach if you turn your head
opposite direction. The tv wouldn't work, the shower door wouldn't
shut, the radio clock kept turning on by itself and the sink
was clogged. I let all of this go as its my honeymoon and didn't
want to ruin it. The staff were all smiles, but there english
was appalling. DO NOT purchase scoupon as you get treated as
a 3rd class guest and your food menu is a plastic laminated
white sheet you get in grade school. Which is only half the
real menu in choice. VERY EMBARRASSING. The meals were small
and very tasteless but we ate them anyway because the food
in phuket is shocking. On our last night we got food poisoning
from the cheese burgers at the restaurant which taste incredible
but lack health standards as we were pooping and vomiting all night and
we are sure we got it at the hotel restaurant because we ate nowhere else
that day or week!!! I spoke to Mathieu Lacabanne the Hotel manager about
the problem in a very polite manner and did not request anything from him
even though we missed the Fantasia show that night which I paid 118 bucks for.
I gave him the tickets for free to give to anyone in the hotel. He was helpful
with advice about seeking medical help but
offered us nothing except to send up some soup and rice for my wife. They sent the soup but
didn't even send the rice!!!!!! Mathieu Lacabanne is a nice and charming guy though and if I didn't take his advice my Wife would of been sick on our journey home but she wasn't as I went and bought 5 different medications to help with the food poisoning.
My honeymoon was ruined from the start and its my mission to tell people about this hotel and Scoupon if anyone ever even mentions Phuket or Blaytong on facebook or word of mouth. Thankyou BlayTong for such a horrible memory that I have to cherish for the rest of my life.
P.S the cleaners were good, the gym sucks, and the artwork is tacky, and I'm a artist/graphic designer by the way.
