The Palms Residence - SHA Extra Plus

I recently stayed at The Palms Residence - SHA Extra Plus and would like to share my thoughts on the experience. Before arriving at The Palms, I spent some time at the NH Boat Lagoon Phuket Resort, which offered much more convenient access to local facilities and attractions. Unfortunately, The Palms Residence is situated farther from many amenities, leading to increased transportation costs. This distance limited my ability to explore additional tour activities, which I found a bit disappointing. A highlight of my stay was a nearby block containing several restaurants. My favorite was a charming Japanese eatery called Nozomi, where the food was excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed every meal. I also visited Restaurant & Brewery BEERFEST for a change of scenery; it was a fantastic spot for socializing and having coffee, especially since the Japanese restaurant does not serve coffee. The two amazing waitresses, Fairy and Cha, were incredibly helpful despite their limited English skills. They did a great job suggesting food options at Nozomi. I also had the opportunity to take a small tour of the brewery, where they showed me their beer production room, which was quite interesting. Everyone was very friendly throughout my visit. Overall, while The Palms Residence has some drawbacks, such as its distance from attractions, it can still be a viable option for budget-conscious travelers who appreciate simplicity and have access to nice dining options nearby. Just be prepared for additional transportation costs if you plan on engaging in multiple outings during your stay.
