When
a journalist on CNN reported that the Laguna Phuket may have been completely
destroyed by the Tsunami that has caused so much devastation across
Asia, we contacted a source at one of the hotels there to verify
this frightening information.
Thankfully, we
were informed that the Laguna Phuket is fully functional and is still
operating. The hotels have electricity and water supplies, and no major
destruction to buildings has taken place.
The
Dusit, which has the widest beach front of the Laguna Hotels, was affected
by what our source described as more of a very large swell, than a whole Tsunami
such as the one that devastated Patong and other areas of Phuket.
The
Laguna had 50 rooms in total damaged at its 3 beach front hotels (Laguna Beach Resort, Dusit Laguna and Sheraton Grande).
The
Laguna reports that a small number of guests and staff sustained injuries, but nothing too
serious. A major clean up is currently underway, and the beach is
expected to re-open Tuesday.
The
Laguna Phuket is a popular holiday destination just 30 minutes from
Patong by car and comprises of five luxury hotels.
