Special airport transfers are arranged with payment in USD from Phuket to hotel; boat picks us up from hotel.

Please post a reply in this topic to let us know if you want any of these rooms and for what nites.

 

The group hotel is 1 mile from the boat and the full details are below. It has good reviews, is safe and reasonably priced. We have assumed single rooms for everyone who have not made their own reservations. I will need to release rooms not being used so please let us know if you wish one of these rooms and for how many days. (We have each group booked for up to 4 days prior with extra nites on the night before since many may only want 1 night). We also have some rooms booked for 1 nite upon return from each trip before flying out. Let me know if you need extra days.

We have worked out an airport transfer deal to pay in USD vs Thailand Baht and transfers are between $25 and $36 each way depending on the number of people and when you arrive.

 

The Hotel is The Retreat Khaolak Resort, Takua Pa, Thailand

The price is $61.30 per person per nite for a SINGLE PRIVATE ROOM with the following amenities:

The price is $30.65 per person per nite for a DOUBLE OCCUPANCY TWIN SHARE with 2 TWIN BEDS ROOM with the following amenities:

Thanks gang...does everyone want a single room or anyone want double occupancy? I am trying to figure out if the rooms have 2 beds. The picture shows they do on the twin option but the description says they have 1 twin.... stay tuned and let us know on occupancy. Its a small place so we have many of the rooms for our group.

Yes, reserve me a single room.  Hopefully will arrive 2/15 around 4 p.m.  through -  2/18 (3 nights).  I will need airport transfer.    This schedule assumes I get my luggage in Bangkok on 2/15.  If not, I will have to stay until I get then fly into Phuket.    

 

Then one night stay on return from boat diving.

 

Thanks  .. .

Is your flight from Bangkok to Phuket on the same ticket as the as the flight to Bangkok?  If it is then the luggage will make it to you in Phuket if it is late.

Regretfully, no,  I take a different carrier into Phuket.  I am now a bit worried.

​I depart HKT at 7:45 pm on 18 Feb.

 

​Thanks for getting us all set up!
