Hotel Recommendations: CC Blooms Hotel

CC Blooms was just recommended to me yesterday by a customer who gave it a rave review - friendly staff, attention to detail, beautiful decor and "that something extra" that makes CC Blooms more than just another hotel. OK, it's not by the beach, but the location in the hills of Karon is just as nice (see location on Google Earth).

The name CC Blooms comes from the Bette Midler character in the movie "Beaches" (I must say I have never seen it, but might just try to find it at the local video shop now...). Beaches seems to be a very popular movie with gay people, and indeed CC Blooms is promoted as a gay, or "gay friendly" hotel. My customer said he had met the owner, a gay American man and maybe the "gayness" of the hotel gives it the unique style. Of course you don't have to be gay to stay here. Read the reviews on Trip Advisor (see link below) - the hotel is rated very highly by just about everyone.

It's nice to hear of a different kind of place to stay in Phuket, just the kind of place that Jamie's Phuket is looking for, something off the beaten track, a hotel with a bit of character.

Most of the rooms do have a sea view, just the sea is not right out of the window. The hills above Karon are very scenic and very... what's the word... green... jungly. All rooms also have satellite TV, a huge king size bed, high speed internet access and also a small kitchen.

CC Bloom (apparently) in the movie Beaches was searching for that perfect time and place.... I don't mean to be corny but ... this could be it!

Hi "no bull"...

Er.. I got no nights, don't need to stay in a hotel since I live here in Phuket and have my own house. On this blog I try to recommend some hotels that have something different - location, style, or hotels that have been recommended to me by people I know. No freebies and no free nights!

Have a nice day!
Jamie
