Furthermore, the Booking.com website offers a quick and simple booking process as well as various payment methods, such as paying in advance or paying upon arrival, giving travelers a flexibility for their trip.

Christmas vacation time is the most precious time for people to travel with their beloved family. As a consequence, choosing a nice accommodation with full functional facilities and with a high standard of safety and comfort, is very important. We decided to choose Pullman Phuket Panwa Beach since we designed to stay at a beachfront hotel. Even if travelling in high season was more costly , it was worth paying for the convenient travel to spend time with all beloved ones. In addition, we have increased the focus on the accommodation for more sustainable and environmentally friendly travel; hence, with the Travel Sustainable property badge launched last year by Booking,com, did meet with our choice of accommodation for this trip.

We, therefore, followed this trend by choosing an accommodation with Travel Sustainable property badge to be assured that we could have an eco-friendly accommodation for sustainable travel, and thus, found many accommodation options with the Travel Sustainable property badge in Phuket on Booking.com.
