Date of stay: 27–29 June 2025 Room type: Deluxe Room (upgraded to Ocean Grand Room) Membership status: Accor Platinum I visited Pullman Phuket Arcadia Naithon Beach during the rainy season in June, which also happens to be my birthday month. I came without any expectations — no special requests, nothing at all. But what I received was far beyond anything I imagined. 🌟 A Beautiful Birthday Surprise Upon entering the room, I was stunned. The staff had beautifully decorated the room with balloons and birthday cake — even a bottle of chilled Moët. I didn’t ask for any of this, but their effort and attention to detail truly warmed my heart. It was one of the most thoughtful gestures I’ve received at a hotel. 🛌 Room & Facilities As a Platinum member, I was upgraded from a Deluxe Room to the Ocean Grand Room (55 sqm). The room was spotless, well-maintained, and felt fresh. Housekeeping did a fantastic job — everything was in perfect working order. The turndown service was also a lovely touch, with curtains drawn and sweet treats placed on the nightstand. 🌊 Location & Beach Access The hotel is nestled right above Naithon Beach. You can walk from the pool area, cross a small bridge, and access the beach using your room key. Just note that during the monsoon season, waves can be rough — swim with care. 🍳 Dining Experience Breakfast was served at ADA Restaurant (since Elements is under renovation) but still featured an excellent, wide-ranging buffet. Highlights included rotating local dishes — biryani, Thai curry noodles, roast duck noodles, and more. If you’re staying for multiple days, I recommend trying a different breakfast theme each day to keep things exciting! As an Accor Plus member, I received 50% off meals for two — great value! I also dined at VERO, their Italian restaurant. The pizza and steak were top-tier — on par with fine steakhouses. The staff there were exceptional in explaining the menu and making recommendations. 🍸 Bars & Perks Welcome drinks for two (via app) — redeemable at C Bar or Pool Bar Buy 1 Get 1 Free Happy Hour (16:00–18:00) Afternoon tea at C Bar for THB 750 — beautifully presented and generous Fitness center with sea views, plus a secondary pool and M Bar with stunning sunset views 🏅 Platinum Benefits Received Early check-in Late check-out Room upgrade 5 pieces of complimentary laundry Breakfast with champagne Note: There is no Platinum lounge at this property, but the benefits and service more than make up for it. 👏 Service & Staff What stood out most was the genuine warmth from the staff. From Front Office to F&B, everyone was proactive, kind, and attentive. Special thanks to Khun Pong for consistently checking in with a smile. Also, a lovely surprise on my last day — I ran into Khun Pinky, who recently transferred here from Novotel Kamala. She’s one of the best when it comes to member service! Final Thoughts This stay reminded me why Pullman Arcadia Naithon is one of the best Accor properties in Thailand. If you’re looking to redeem a Stay Plus night or free night in Phuket, especially during low season, this is the place. Room rates are lower, flights are affordable, and the personalized service shines. Highly recommended for both relaxing holidays and special occasions 💙
