About the Mida Grande Resort Phuket
This resort hotel is located in the quieter Thalang area in northern Phuket, not far from Surin Beach, one of the island's most relaxed and exclusive stretches of coastline. It's a popular all-inclusive destination, with packages offered by major tour operators like TUI. The resort offers a wide range of accommodations, from standard rooms to villas with private pools and hot tubs. Families and groups are particularly well catered for: they often receive room upgrades upon arrival, and the staff is consistently praised for their attentiveness and 24/7 availability.
The quality of food and drinks meets European standards. The cleanliness of the pool and restaurant areas is frequently highlighted in guest reviews. However, some parts of the resort show visible signs of wear and tear, including faded facades and cosmetic flaws on certain buildings. Travelers who value a pristine environment should therefore view recent photos before booking. The adjacent Surin Beach area offers a quieter alternative to Patong, with independent restaurants and beach facilities nearby, and without the hustle and bustle of the main nightlife.
The peak season runs from November to February. During this time, the weather is most stable and the resort is at full capacity. A visit between May and October generally offers lower prices and a quieter atmosphere, although occasional rain showers are possible. When booking directly through the resort's website, it's worth comparing offers from tour operators to check current room categories and prices.

My husband and I spent two weeks at the accommodation as part of a larger group and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The staff were incredibly helpful, even when we called reception after midnight to have a huge insect removed from our room (it had flown in from outside). Everything was very clean, fresh towels were provided daily, and the pool was beautiful. We highly recommend this accommodation! Our only criticism is that, although there's a street with shops and restaurants right outside and the beach at the end, we often used taxis for excursions, as there isn't much within walking distance.
It's a great hotel. We booked two deluxe rooms as we are a family with two children (children + two adults) and received a free upgrade to a villa with a private pool and hot tub. It was fantastic. Breakfast is predictable – Thai and European food, all fine. Right next to the hotel is Teddy's Restaurant, which is excellent and definitely worth a visit.
The hotel is generally run-down. Many drywall panels are hanging from the ceilings or are missing entirely, and mold is growing on the concrete facades of all the main buildings. The walkways are uneven and difficult to navigate. The constant smell of cannabis emanating from the staff quarters and the motorbike delivery vehicles is unbearable and should not be tolerated by either staff or guests. The parking lot was very noisy for us in room 5307, as engines were constantly revving. The pools were dilapidated and furnished with only a few pieces of furniture, cushions, and umbrellas. We counted only four umbrellas in total for the entire complex, distributed among all the pools. The Thai food in the restaurant was excellent. Everything else was questionable at best, and dangerous at worst. For example, my four-year-old son was served completely raw sausages. These had to be sent back and exchanged for fresh, thoroughly cooked sausages. Another time, the chicken tikka masala curry was microwaved and was still almost cold inside. The food had to be sent back and heated so intensely that it was ice cold. The poolside service was abysmal. A lunch order was completely forgotten, and the waiter clearly had no idea what to do, where to go, or how to take orders. The bar is massively understaffed, which significantly impacts the service. At the time, there were seven employees in the nearly empty restaurant; one could easily have helped out at the pool. Room 5307 was adequate; there wasn't much to complain about, and the housekeeping staff was excellent. The pillows were good, but the bed was rock hard. There wasn't enough water provided for a family of four during the evening room service. The singing duo on two evenings was excellent and very entertaining. This hotel is not a five-star hotel, at best a three-star. While the staff was very friendly, this unfortunately couldn't compensate for the otherwise rather poor quality of the hotel.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
