Mandarava Resort and Spa Phuket
"We had a fantastic stay at Mandarava Resort in Phuket. The hotel definitely feels more luxurious and is set beautifully on the side of a hill, which gives you some brilliant views across the area. Because of the hillside setting there are quite a few steep roads and plenty of stairs around the resort, but that’s also part of what gives it its character. One of the highlights was the choice of pools — there are five different pools around the resort, so you can easily find a quieter spot to relax. The Thai restaurant at the hotel was fantastic; we enjoyed it so much we went back for a second visit. Breakfast was also excellent with a huge selection of food each morning. The location is great, with plenty nearby, and it’s only about a 30-minute trip into Bangla where we went to watch Thai boxing — definitely worth doing if you’re visiting the area. It’s a lively, bigger town with some amazing restaurants as well. When we visited it was around 35°C most days, so we usually grabbed a tuk-tuk down to the beach rather than walking in the heat. The staff throughout the resort were great and always willing to help with any request, which made the stay even better. Our room was very comfortable with a massive bathroom, great shower, and good quality shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner provided. The bed and pillows were also very comfortable for a good night’s sleep. The only small negative was that occasionally there was a bit of a sewage smell near one of the pools we liked to use, but aside from that everything else about the stay was excellent. Overall we had a brilliant stay and would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a more luxurious resort experience in Phuket."
Panphuree Residence
"The hotel was conveniently located not far from the airport, and the complimentary airport pickup service made everything very easy and stress-free. The check-in process was quick and friendly, and I was very satisfied with the room — it was spacious, clean, and comfortable."
Sawasdee Village
"An unforgettable stay. A beautiful hotel with amazing surroundings and high standard. Breakfast excellent. Pool amazing. Highly recommended!"
YouDee Hotel
"The hotel was so clean and infinity pool was amazing."
Panwaburi Beachfront Resort
"Delicious food amazing view and nice neighbourhood front of.hotel beach sea view and local foods or desserts like roti we back here agajn"
Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket
"Good breakfast, clean big rooms, nice beachside hotel but beach has no lifeguard so pls note."
Andaman Embrace Patong
"The location is good , new and clean Bring cash for the deposit However, the procedure of getting towel in Swimming Pool is a little bit trouble, you have to get a card to get a towel, and when you return a towel, you have get back card from the pool side bar and return to the reception."
Patong Paragon Resort & Spa
"Great location, room was spacious and clean, hotel restaurant food has good portions and clean pool, literally enjoyed my stay"
The Viridian Resort
"Great location, our 2nd stay there. We really like The Viridian but I need to say that the entertainment between Ryan & P was very unprofessional. Her screaming and yelling at Ryan was embarrassing. We've never experienced anything like this before. I don't really quite know what to say other than if they want guests to go elsewhere, they're going the right way about it."
The Royal Paradise Hotel & Spa
"Everything was wonderful. The hotel isn't new, but it has its advantages: its location in the center of Patong, a beautiful pool, a restaurant and an observation deck with a view on the top floor, really good breakfast. The staff was very friendly. There's a 100-euro deposit, which is refunded upon check-out if you don't use the bar in room."
Blue Carina Hotel(Central Phuket)
"The hotel is located in convenient location, closed to the shopping mall and the water park. Also, having parking lots but it was quite dark there. The room was comfy but old. However, the downside is there was no lift at the hotel and we stayed the highest floor. So, it was very tired to climb up after the long day and if you have a large luggage, it would be very difficult to climb up."
Phuket Orchid Resort and Spa
"Hotel was in a fantastic location, room was a great size the kids loved the pool and breakfast had a great selection Supit working in the morning at breakfast was very friendly thank you for the kindness and the friendly hospitality Supit"
The Oceanic Sportel Phuket
"Our trip to Phuket led us to The Oceanic Sportel, a sports-themed hotel whose facilities perfectly met our needs. The hotel's standout feature for us was its professional-grade sports facilities. With six ITF-certified tennis courts (both indoor and outdoor), it's a paradise for tennis enthusiasts. The gym (wellness center) was equally impressive – spacious, with new and comprehensive equipment, suitable for both cardio and weight training. We drove ourselves, and the hotel offered ample free parking, saving us the hassle of finding a spot in the city. It's worth noting that we didn't see any explicit '10% off for guests' discount when we booked, and online reviews didn't mention a regular discount either. We recommend inquiring directly with the hotel about current promotions when booking. Regarding dining, the breakfast reviews were generally average. While the selection varied slightly each day, the choices and taste weren't particularly outstanding, though they sufficed for a basic breakfast. In summary, this hotel is ideal for sports and tennis lovers, and those traveling by car. If you're looking for top-tier professional sports facilities, free parking, and a spacious, new gym, this is an excellent choice. However, if breakfast quality is a high priority for you, or if you're expecting a clear '10% off for guests' discount, with booking prices ranging from 450-550 Baht, you might want to consider your options."
Aspery Hotel
"Classical Patong beach hotel, nothing exiting, but still good if the price is reasonable."
Elite Suites Patong
"hotel room and equipment is old, beddings is good. im unsatisfied with the shower, have showered at around 11pm, water pressure of the shower is bad, very little water and the temperature of water is difficult to adjust, after adjusting will delay few minutes ending up too cold or too hot"
