Until recently, not everyone could afford to become a resident of the most prestigious area on Phuket called Laguna, which represents an excellent integration of several 5-star hotels and residential complexes, with all the accompanying infrastructure of an elite area, such as a golf course, tennis courts, SPAs, beach clubs, shops, restaurants and bars, free shuttle service and even river trams that will take you for free to any of the hotels within the complex called Laguna. The long-awaited Cassia aparthotel immediately became the most attractive place for relaxation, offering tourists a wide choice of affordable apartments. The aparthotel is located in a picturesque and completely safe environment, on the shore of a freshwater lake that separates it from the beach. A river tram, constantly cruising the lake, will take guests to the 8-kilometer Bangtao beach in just minutes from the hotel lobby. Cassia Hotel has its own beach club equipped with free sun loungers. The common area is equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay - a children's playground and a small pool with sea sand for the youngest residents, a swimming pool, sun loungers, a kids club, a beauty salon, a coffee shop. The hotel lobby and security are also open 24 hours. The double apartments are equipped with a stunningly functional kitchen. All living spaces - bedrooms, kitchen, living area - are done in a bright and cheerful style typical of the Cassia aparthotel. The apartments' private terrace offers stunning views of the Andaman Sea. Property Description The Cassia Hotel is located in the heart of the Laguna Phuket resort complex. It was built in 2015 and has become a favorite place for tourists from all over the world. The hotel consists of two 6-story buildings that are interconnected. The hotel is built in a modern style, with very bright interiors of both common areas and the apartments themselves. The property offers apartments with one and two bedrooms, with or without a mezzanine. One-bedroom apartments have a total area of 40-52 square meters, with the mezzanine adding an extra 10-14 square meters. The two-bedroom apartments are more spacious - 62-86 square meters on the first floor plus a mezzanine. All apartments have a fully equipped kitchen with appliances and utensils, as well as a dining table. The hotel has a total of 402 rooms, all decorated in the same style. The windows of the apartments offer magnificent views of the lake and the sea. Among the Laguna brands, the Cassia aparthotel stands out for being aimed at a younger and more active audience of travelers. It offers affordable accommodation, despite being surrounded by premium hotels, luxury villas and world-class golf courses. Infrastructure The Cassia Hotel has its own beach equipped with sun loungers, a restaurant, reception, two shared swimming pools with sun loungers and cabanas, shower and toilet facilities, a bar, and walking paths. There is a kids club where children can play and have fun. A free shuttle bus runs regularly between the complex and the beach.

A boat also runs to the beach every half hour, which is especially convenient for families with young children. The restaurant offers villa takeaway services and barbecue. Nearby The Cassia complex is located in close proximity to Bangtao Beach, which can be reached in 5 minutes on foot or by a free river tram that cruises the lake. This beach is home to some of Phuket's most popular beach clubs, such as Xana Beach Club, Dream Beach Club, and Catch Club. Next to Cassia is the Laguna Phuket Golf Club, which hosts international-class tournaments. Inexperienced players can use the services of a personal golf trainer.
