Great pool and friendly staff
Absolute worst breakfast I have ever come across, we stopped eating eat. Absolute no options, presentation or care factor which is a shame. For this reason I would not return there’s better options out there

Nice location. Close to beach and shopping area.
Smokers on neighboring balconies as I have chosen a non smoking room.

Excellent value for money quiet with friendly staff
Much better than staying in Patong itself
Not many Australian guests mainly Russians hiding out from the war

The property was well maintained and serene. Our pool access was lovely and still private. It is near the beach and in a less busy area.
The property was a little far away from good shops etc. Although there are still some nice places to eat and I enjoyed everything I had from the restaurant we still caught a lot of tuk tuks.

This village is perfectly located, not far from Patong beach where you can hang out, but far enough from the noise of the city. it is a very quite and clean place with an amazing pool where you can enjoy a pool bar. The staff is reactive and very nice. Our room had a view to the sea and the pool, was spacious, cosy and very confortable. It is a perfect value for money.
I just have to say that the breakfast wasn’t good at all. Except that, everything was perfect, so I will recommend this place !
The breakfast buffet
9.0
Staff members are very nice, friendly, place is very clean, bathroom and water pressure are amazing. Very close to the beach, the pool is very nice, definitely a place to repeat.
The pillows are very fat/thick and I am used to thin ones. The sea view is more like a pool and garden view with lake view from room by the 1st-2nd floor. Not a bad one view anyway.
7.0
The swimming pool is well maintained and nice.
There is complimentary coffee (3 in 1) and tea provided.
The bed was a bit hard and not comfortable to sleep on.
They took the beach towel during room makeup and did not replace it, so every time we needed the towel, we need to get it from the receptionist.
The AC takes a while to get started.

- Great location away from busy Karon and next to restaurants and beach
- Friendly staff
- The room was very clean when we arrived
- The swimming pool
- The room was really old and ugly, it needs a refreshment
- The mattress was terribly uncomfortable! The pillow was too high for our head.
- The breakfast food is disgusting and cheap! Don’t come too late, they run out of everything!

There was nothing to like in this property
1. The really old and probably broken door to the terrace made loud shrilling noise when closed which is so loud you can't sleep, and if the door is open there are mosquitoes.
2. The room was extremely dirty, we had clean all the surfaces ourselves with a disinfectant wipe.
3. There was black mold on the curtains and in the bathroom.
4. Bathroom tiles were yellow as if not cleaned for more than 6 months
5. Old, dated rooms.
Initially checked in for 6 nights, but checked out after 1 night and explained this to the hotel. But the hotel still charged us for 2 extra nights (including service charge), when all the fault was with the hotel. No way this is SHA Plus property, there are much nicer properties in the area
Avoid this property at all cost.

Very convenient location and comfortable staying.
The checkout was not the best because the guy didn't speak a word of English.

Very clean rooms. Location close to the sea. Polite staff. Delicious breakfasts. I enjoyed everything.
8.0
We loved the location, such a great place to be close to all the markets and cafes,, but also close to beach!
Majority of staff were absolutely lovely and very friendly! One lady at reception was not however and it impacted our stay a little. She charged us for a stain on a hand towel which was us cleaning up some fruit juice - we should have just left it for cleaners and we wouldn't have been charged
5.0
It was close to the beach, which was nice. Also, the pool area is pretty decent. Spa facilities are tired, but Nana (I think is her name) is wonderfully talented! Definitely worth booking a session or two with her. My back has never been better.
I was thrown by the 8.3 rating from previous guests, and thought it was better than it was. If you expect standard from price, it’s a decent hotel. Breakfast was off-putting, so would book without breakfast.

Only stayed for two night but all was good. A good pool and breakfast was pretty good with plenty of choice
There’s a main road by the hotel which can get a bit noisy .
7.0
The breakfast was fine. I would like wider selection of fruits and vegetables.
The location is very good. Close to the beach and main street activities.
Staff speaks very bad English..
We really like the hotel and was looking so much forward to stay there, but we had only 1 day as when we arrived our home country called us home immediately because of corona virus. What we were really sad about is that hotel did not even try to help us out. They offered nothing.. not to move our stay to later, not to return even 1 euro or give discount on anything. I as consumer really liked the hotel, but I will not book it again as I did not see any level of understanding or help in this very hard time... I do not expect all the money, but at least possibility to move the stay in the future or discount. No we got nothing...

We have stayed at Phuket for 3 weeks in 2019 and spend therefore many nights in many different hotels. Front Village is the only hotel among other hotels, that we don`t wish to recommend to others.
Only bad experience here from the beginning to the end.
Although our stay at Front Village was payed long time before our arrival, they managed to leave a letter on the floor where they asked ask to contact reception and pay before check out. Some of hotel stuff on reception were really hard to communicate with because of their bad English. Unnecessary stress when you are on a vacation in beautiful Thailand.
Central air conditioning functioned badly in our room and we struggled to breath at night. It was not possible to regulate it. No power outlets by the beds, which is inconvenient. Bad internet connection.
WC was old and we barely dared to flush the toilet because the handle seemed to break apart any minute.
Stuff at the restaurant in this hotel was not friendly, while food is insanely overpriced and portions are barely big enough for kids.
As for the balcony, you will not get any privacy there, as there are no any walls between balconies anywhere and the distance between them is very small.
In the very end when we were ready to check out and our taxi came to pick us up, we could not leave, as stuff on the reception made us wait until somebody checked that everything was okey in our room. THAT took VERY long time and was a stressful experience, specially because we were in a hurry.
Our advice - stay at Pacific Club Resort which is only a few minutes walking away from The Front Village! We regretted deeply that we checked out from Pacific Club and moved to The Front Village.
