📍 8 Sawatdirak Rd, Pa Tong, Kathu District, Kathu, Phuket
★★★★ 8.8 (1,532 reviews)

"Beyond Patong — Excellent stay right at Patong Beach We stayed at Beyond Patong for 5 nights and had a great experience overall. Location: 10/10 The hotel is right at Patong Beach. You step out and you’re basically on the sand. Being this close to the beach saved us so much time. There’s also a 7-Eleven directly opposite the hotel, which was perfect for late night snacks, water, and essentials. Rooms: 10/10 The rooms are spacious and very clean. Housekeeping did a great job daily. All the amenities you’d expect were there: AC, safe, TV, good WiFi, and toiletries. The bed was comfortable and we slept well even with the beach nearby. The property itself is well maintained, from the lobby to the corridors. Facilities: 10/10 The highlight is the rooftop infinity pool. Great views of Patong and the Andaman Sea, especially at sunset. Pool area was clean and not too crowded. Staff & Service: 10/10 Staff was genuinely helpful. Check in was smooth, and they were quick with requests. You can tell the team is well trained. Overall If you want a clean, spacious, well maintained hotel steps from Patong Beach with a killer infinity pool and helpful staff, Beyond Patong is a solid choice. The 7-Eleven across the street is a bonus you’ll use more than you think. Would definitely stay again. Rating: 5/5"

📍 82 Moo 2, Kata Road, Tumbon Karon, Mueang Phuket, Phuket
★★★★ 8.8 (525 reviews)

"Room was disgusting when we arrived - dirty towels, bugs, blocked toilet. We had to keep chasing the manager to get us moved to a different room. When we finally got moved, the new room was also dirty. The manager sent someone to "deep clean" but this was a light wipe over at most - the sink tap was still dirty, there were ***** hairs on the toilet seat and next to the toilet on the floor, and handprints/finger prints from the previous guests on the toilet and shower doors. After complaining again, rather than being looked after for the poor service and state of the rooms we'd been in for the first 2 days, we were completely ignored. Everytime we went to reception to follow up with the manager, she wasnt there and we were told she would contact us which she didnt. When we finally caught her at reception on day 3 of our 1 week stay, she told us she'd spoke with hotel owner and that theres nothing they can do besides say sorry, and are not willing to do anything to make up for the poor experience we'd had up until that point. To then dig themselves a further hole, the manager then decided to tell me that when the cleaners changed the towels in our room that morning, there was some makeup on a towel and it couldnt be washed, and if this continued they would charge the cost of this to the holding deposit they had on our card. Never in any hotel have i been told a little makeup on a towel is an issue, nor that it cant be washed, and we are frequent travellers. Both my husband and I realised that this was a blackmail tactic, in order to stop us raising further complaints about the disgusting state of the room. Do not stay here, what is portrayed as a chic, clean, aesthetically pleasing boutique hotel, is everything but that. Rude, ignorant dismissive staff, most unprofessional hotel manager i've ever encountered. Photos attached, unable to upload videos to show how bad it really was, but the photos are just a glimpse of what we experienced."

Meet Holiday Hotel-Rawai

Meet Holiday Hotel-Rawai

📍 52 / 8 Moo 6 Viset Road, Muang, Mueang Phuket, Phuket
★★★★ 9.0 (995 reviews)

"The rooms are spotless, exactly as presented. The maids are excellent. The cortiard type grounds are beautifully maintained and the koy karps in the pond and artificial stream under the room's balconies just underscores the Chinese influence, to whom the hotel mainly caters to. Breakfast if tasty but mainly oriented onto the Chinese clients. Location is perfect for Rawai and is very close to the pier from where most of the south-bound boat trips depart from. The pier is also right next to the famous Rawai Seafood Market, where I enjoyed several excellent meals. Would stay here again anytime."

Begonia N7 villa resort

📍 120/4 M4, Soi Sai Yuan, T.Rawai, Mueang Phuket, Phuket
★★★★ 9.5 (778 reviews)

"The hotel environment is excellent, everything was great. When I checked in, I saw a cat at the door of another room and was quite envious. The next day, when I opened my door, a cat was right there! This is an experience a standard hotel can't offer."

Seaside Naithon Phuket

📍 28/40 Moo 4, Sakhu, Thalang, Phuket

Cassia Phuket, part of Banyan Group Hotels in Phuket

Cassia Phuket, part of Banyan Group

"A great hotel for a family vacation. It’s surrounded by beautiful nature, in a safe area with little traffic and no pushy street vendors. The hotel is located within the Laguna complex, which offers a free shuttle service. The only store within walking distance is the modest Top’s, but you can drive to a 7-Eleven. You can get to the beach by boat, but around 8–9 a.m. and in the evening, the boat will be packed with families with children and strollers. You can also walk there; taking it easy, it takes about 8–10 minutes, though part of the way is in the heat. There are plenty of private sun loungers at the beach. However, the front row closest to the sea is taken from early morning. The rooms feature a kitchen, a small living area, and two air conditioners. They come with dishes and cutlery. Housekeeping is provided every other day. The trash disposal system is interesting—it’s done through a special “locker,” so the staff doesn’t need to come into your room to take out the trash. It’s a great system. The hotel’s clientele consists mainly of families with small children and older couples. My family liked the hotel; we’d definitely come back again!"

All the staff were friendly, breakfast was delicious, and when we booked the pickleball court, they were very thoughtful in helping us prepare the equipment and towels."

Bella Nara Phuket Naiyang Beach Hotels in Phuket

Bella Nara Phuket Naiyang Beach

"Stayed one night at Bella Nara Phuket prior to my flight departure. Overall, it is a nice and comfortable hotel, suitable for a short stay. The hotel provides airport shuttle service at THB 300 per room, which is convenient and reasonably priced. Breakfast was good and offered a nice variety, slightly different from what I experienced at other 5-star hotels, which was refreshing. A few areas could be improved. Check-in was strictly at 3pm, and all guests had to wait until that exact time—no flexibility at all. While welcome drinks were provided, they were cleared rather quickly, which made the experience feel a bit rushed. Water supply in the room was also inconsistent, which could be uncomfortable, although less of an issue given the warm climate. On the positive side, the location is great. There is an excellent massage place just opposite the hotel, and having dinner by the beach nearby was a highlight. Overall, a pleasant and comfortable stay with a few service improvements needed."

"It's really great! I can't describe it in words. I didn't expect that my first trip to Thailand would be so perfect. It was all thanks to the boss and the boss's wife. They took us to 711 to shop as soon as we checked in, recommended a lot of very practical things, talked and drank until midnight, introduced us to all kinds of food and fun around, and took us to a seafood buffet when we were free. It was a great experience! ! They helped us contact the car rental company for travel, and the car rental boss drove the car directly to the door-to-door service. It was so convenient. I rode a scooter to visit the surrounding beaches and watch the sunset in two days! All the delicious seafood was also stored in my stomach. The hotel is very clean and the waiters are very attentive. Not only did they help us clean the house and fold the clothes neatly every time, but they also helped us put the clothes away and put them under the fan to dry them when it rained. The air conditioner was also turned on every time we returned to the room, which was really cool! There is also a special filter shower head, so there is no need to consider the water quality problem. The boss is really serving our customers very attentively, so that we can experience the best feeling in Phuket. We must stay here again next time we come to Phuket! !"

"A great hotel in a fantastic family-friendly area of Phuket. The beach is just across the road, which made it really convenient, and the hotel pool was excellent for kids. The daily buffet breakfast was also a big bonus with plenty of variety to start the day. Cons: Our main issue was the bathroom, which had a bad smell each day and could use better maintenance. Overall: A comfortable, family-oriented stay in a great location. Despite the bathroom issue, we still enjoyed our time and would recommend it for families visiting Phuket."

"⭐️⭐️ Great location, but terrible humidity and very inconvenient when it rains The hotel is quite new, the surroundings are nice, and it’s very convenient with plenty of food and eateries nearby. However, the room was extremely humid and damp—this was the biggest problem. After showering, the whole room filled with mist and steam, and the ventilation/exhaust fan is way too small and weak to remove moisture. The floor stayed wet and slippery the whole time, and the damp feeling never went away; it was very uncomfortable to stay in. What’s worse, it is extremely inconvenient when it rains. There is no covered walkway or roof over the corridors or entrance—we arrived during heavy rain and got completely soaked walking in, and no one offered us an umbrella or help. If you travel by motorbike, it’s even worse: the parking area also has no shelter at all, and when you ride in, the security guard won’t even lift the barrier for you—you have to squeeze through a narrow gap beside it, while he just stands there playing on his phone. Overall, the basic facilities and service are really disappointing, and the humidity issue makes the room almost unlivable. I definitely won’t be coming back."

"We chose the hotel due to its cool location just 3 minutes to the Naiton beach. It is very nice and clean. When we stayed at the hotel they started to operate a lift, so we could take our things up and down to our floor (we lived at the 3d). All the necessary things are available: beach towels at the reception, beach bag, minibar, water, a small pool (we didn't try). The guys at the reception are very welcoming. Close to the hotel there are nice cafes, one sea food restaurant just at the opposite side is amazing, spent many times there. Tops supermarket is very close also. Can surely recommend (if you are worried about the noise ask for a pool side room)."
