Pullman Hotels in Phuket

Pros: Great location, a cliffside hotel with an infinity pool boasting stunning ocean views. The sunset, especially on a clear day, was absolutely amazing. My child had a blast in the pool. It's close to the airport, and the beach is relatively good (much better than Mai Khao Beach, which is also close to the airport – it's gentle and offers more activities). It's a perfect hotel for a 2-3 night stay before leaving Phuket. At 1000 CNY/night, it's incredible value for money. Another huge plus is the breakfast variety and quality – it's excellent! (As a picky eater from the south, if I say it's good, it's definitely good, I'm that confident! 😎) Cons: Being a cliffside hotel, the rooms are built on a steep slope. For guests whose rooms are far, taking the buggy back can be a hassle. During peak check-out time, I waited for about 15-20 minutes for a buggy. However, this also has a small advantage: each building only has four rooms (at least in my case, my floor only had two rooms), which offers great privacy. I stayed for three nights and didn't encounter any neighbors, even though the hotel was mostly full during my stay. It's not like those hotels with long corridors full of rooms. Overall, I think it's very good for this price point. As someone who has stayed at many hotels (I stayed at 4 hotels during my 11-day trip to Phuket, and have stayed at nearly 10 high-quality hotels in Bali and Koh Samui), this one stands out.

Booked for the Mid-Autumn Festival, including breakfast for 4 nights at just over 2,800 RMB. It felt like amazing value for money and the experience exceeded my expectations. I loved the breakfast, the gym, and the free fitness and tennis classes. Karon Beach is right behind the hotel, and it's a short walk to 7-Eleven, various restaurants, and massage shops. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Phuket.

Location: The hotel is situated in a small bay, so there's nowhere really to go for a stroll. Across the street, there's a 7-Eleven, about 5 restaurants, massage parlors, and a laundry. About the hotel: The lobby is very beautiful, and the entire property, including the trees, is very well-maintained. However, there's only one swimming pool, and I'm not sure if there would be enough space for everyone when the hotel is at full capacity. The sea is another story – you can only look at it here because in the mornings it's low tide, and in the afternoons the water is knee-deep, so you have to walk quite a distance to swim. The room itself isn't too big, but we encountered a specific problem – the bed was directly under the air conditioner, and no matter how you lay, the draft blew right on you. When the air conditioner was turned off, there was a smell of dampness or old age, or perhaps both. As a result, my husband went and asked to switch rooms. In the new room, the air conditioner didn't blow directly onto the bed, but it still wasn't very pleasant when turned off. Also, the TVs in the room are very old – we couldn't watch YouTube. Many reviews mention the breakfasts, and yes, they are tasty – with variety every day. However, for example, you have to brew your own coffee, rather than a barista making it, except for the specials. Overall, the hotel is just okay, but it didn't seem worth the money. There was nothing that would make me want to come back. Oh, and also, due to its remote location, the number of delivery options here is minimal, or they come from other districts, which significantly increases waiting times.
