Bangkok, October 11, 2011 – Phuket’s largest resort, the Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa on Karon Beach, is re-opening 128 of its newly refurbished deluxe-plus rooms on November 1 in time for what may be the island’s busiest high season ever.
The refurbishment project in the Andaman B wing of the 664-room resort complements last year’s upgrading of the premier beachfront Andaman A wing.
Originally opened in 1983, the Hilton Phuket Arcadia (then known as the Phuket Arcadia), came under the management of Hilton International in 2004, which has since elevated rooms and suites to a contemporary Thai international standard of comfort and decor.
The newly-upgraded Andaman B wing adjoins the resort’s lobby and reception area, garden pool and Sails restaurant.
The resort, set on 75 acres (195 rai or 30 hectares) provides direct access to Karon Beach in a lush tropical setting and features five separate wings with views over gardens, lagoons and the beach.
General Manager, Andre Gomez, said the hotel had always prided itself on delivering exceptional guest experiences. He said each refurbished room had been equipped with a 37-inch flat screen TV and decorated in tropical tones and mood décor and a four-point glass featured bathroom.
With the Tourism Authority of Thailand forecasting a record 19 million foreign arrivals in 2012, tourism operators throughout the kingdom – and especially in key tourism destinations such as Phuket – are gearing up for the busiest and most successful high season in many years, and perhaps ever.
Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort offers six room categories including 126 suites, four restaurants and a cafe, a 1500 square-metre Thai spa with 15 treatment villas, extensive sports and recreation facilities, Ocean Beach Club, five swimming pools, three pool bars and a sports bar, Kidz Paradise for children aged four to 12, a business centre and meeting and convention facilities.
Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa (www.phuketarcadia.hilton.com) and its sister properties – the Millenium Hilton Bangkok, Hilton Pattaya and Hilton Hua Hin Resort & Spa – are members of Golf In A Kingdrom: The Thailand Golf Experience (www.golfinakingdom.com), a co-operative marketing program that features Thailand’s premier golf courses, resorts and hotels.

- End nov early dec spent 10 fantastic days golfing, mainly in Chiang Mai with Golfasian.
Highlands and Alpine are really great courses, and Golfasians service just perfect! So lookong fwd to next time soon hopefully
Magne Høgheim - Our golfing trip of 8 people to Vietnam has just finished sadly. We started off in Ho Chi Minh City, then Danang and finally Hanoi with a two night HaLong Bay cruise to have some R & R after 7 golf games plus some sightseeing. Thank you to everyone at Golfasian from the first enquiry, finalising an itinerary and then our time in Vietnam. Everything ran so smoothly and professionally that we didn't need to stress over any of the arrangements at all. Miss Huong was so helpful with all aspects of our tour and also in organising catering for non seafood eaters wherever we went on our itinerary. The drivers during our stay were friendly and obliging from Tony in Ho Chi Minh, Lucky in Danang and Mr Simon in Hanoi was especially helpful and informative and more than happy to answer any questions plus also give suggestions which we were grateful for. We could not fault the service from Golfasian and would not hesitate to recommend them and use them again.
Marilyn Powell - The quality of the staff, service and overall experience with Golf Asian is amazing
John Warren - Incredible service and staff. I couldn't believe how easy it was and not one issue at the hotel or the golf courses.
Marc Jolicoeur - Just returned from Thailand on a 10 day golf trip booked through Golf Asian. Booked the entire trip online through email, without even talking to a live person.
We arrived in BKK and the entire trip went smooth. Great hotels, great courses, great van drivers.
Thanks for a great holiday.

We will use GolfAsian next time again, for sure!
Reinier van Fulpen - I have booked several golf trips for me and my friends in bali and Vietnam and they were nothing but professional and alot of laughs and great memories, very highly recommended we will now book every year
Mark Kovacevic - We just returned from a 15 day golf and cultural tour of Thailand. the golf courses were superb and the tours interesting and informative. Golf Asian was on top of things when our flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok was delayed and we were met by our driver with no problem. Thanks for a wonderful time.
