Guest User: I only stayed for two nights, but they upgraded my room twice. The first night I stayed in an ocean view room, and the second night I was upgraded to a villa with a private pool. I’m truly grateful. The breakfast is dedicate, the room is big and comfy, I would love to stay here again next time
14 Kata Noi Rd
From £ 116
Guest User: Our family had a wonderful stay at OZO Phuket. The room was small but always clean and cozy. The best part for us was the fantastic swimming pool and slide—our kids absolutely loved it! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The location is perfect, with the Kata Night Market, 7-Eleven, restaurants, and massage shops just across the street. We highly recommend this hotel for families looking for a convenient and fun stay.
99 Kata Rd, Karon, Muang
From £ 62
Guest User: The design of the hotel is crazy beautiful, there’s a feeling like you live in a Thai temple. The room was big enough and we had an access to the pool that was very convenient, because the beach is a bit far and we didn’t really like it. The breakfast is ok, can’t say much, there was always something to choose from for me, some fruit, 3 kinds of cheese, and some hot Thai dishes. And of course coffee. Things that I didn’t like are the price (it was a price of a 5 start hotel but I knew what I was booking) and the beach. I really don’t understand why Kata beach is so popular and so many people recommended me to go there. There are no beach bars or restaurants and it’s super crowded and everything is overpriced there. But it’s not the problem of the hotel.
38 Kata Rd, Karon, Mueang Phuket District, Chang Wat
From £ 65
Guest User: Really beautiful resort with swimming pool, sauna and gym.
82 Moo 2, Kata Road, Tumbon Karon
From £ 36
Guest User: When it comes to vacationing in Phuket, this hotel is unbeatable! It’s right next to a stunning beach—whether you’re in your room or the public areas, all you see is the sparkling blue sea. Waking up to watch the sunrise here is incredibly soothing. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with high-quality amenities, and it’s super quiet at night for a good sleep. The restaurant serves fresh, juicy seafood, and both Thai and Western dishes are authentic and delicious. The staff are really friendly; they handle any requests quickly, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. If you want to enjoy a lazy island holiday, this is definitely the place to pick!
18 Kata Noi Rd
From £ 290
Guest User: This is a new hotel, very clean, and they even provide disposable razors (which many hotels in Phuket don't). They offer laundry and drying services and deliver clothes back to your room, which was super convenient when we were out and about. The front desk staff member spoke excellent Chinese! The location is right on Kata Beach and very close to Karon Beach. You can rent a scooter directly from the hotel, so you don't have to worry about getting ripped off. There are supermarkets and night markets nearby, making it very accessible with lots to explore.

📍Trip Overview This trip was purely for work! #worktrip
🌴 Phuket has hotels with ocean views like this too! You can walk straight into the pool from your balcony. We're talking about Zenmaya Oceanfront Phuket, an ocean-view hotel on Kalim Beach, Phuket. This time we stayed in a Deluxe Seaview Pool Accessory room, and our favorite highlight was being able to walk directly into the pool from our balcony. Whenever we wanted to swim, we just changed into our swimsuits and jumped in – no need to walk to the main pool. But the best part... The best part is the ocean view from the pool. You can see the vast ocean without any obstructions. The atmosphere is especially nice during good lighting. Anyone who likes hotels with great photo opportunities or wants to relax without having to leave the hotel will love it. For dinner, we planned to eat at Zeascape, the hotel's All Day Dining restaurant, which offers both main courses and drinks. We ordered seafood and drinks to enjoy while admiring the ocean view – a truly unique experience. We also had breakfast at the same restaurant, waking up early before heading out to explore. For us, the highlight of this hotel is the rooms with direct pool access from the balcony, combined with the ocean view that makes for a truly special vacation. If you're looking for a Phuket hotel for a relaxing trip, a change of pace from your usual travel style, consider this place. 📍 Zenmaya Oceanfront Phuket, located on Kalim Beach, between Patong and Kamala Beach. Phuket Province 🍽️ Zeascape Restaurant offers all-day dining. Come visit anytime you're hungry! #ZenmayaPhuket #ZenmayaOceanfrontPhuket #PhuketAccommodation #KalimBeach #PhuketTravel
Visited Phuket many times before, but this time we decided to experience the island differently by staying on a small island. During the low season, we booked an independent loft for just over 1000, which was highly affordable. With a pool directly accessible, a living room, and two large beds across two floors, our family of four stayed very comfortably. The pier is near Phuket Town at Leam Hin Pier, where the hotel has a dedicated lounge. Showing your reservation allows you to take a free shuttle boat, a short 10-minute ride. Staff picked us up upon arrival and took us smoothly to the front desk for check-in. We booked a two-bedroom villa with pool access, highly recommended for families with children. It’s spacious, convenient for swimming, and incredibly cost-effective during the offseason. Since it’s an island, we mostly dined at the hotel. Opted for a two-day package with meals for four—it included breakfast buffets and a choice of three courses (appetizer, main, dessert) for lunch and dinner. The variety was decent, and we felt full with just one or two dishes each. However, options are somewhat limited, so many Western guests went off the island for a change in dining experience. Island life was calm and serene. Guests were few, meaning the pools were almost always empty. With direct pool access from our room, it felt like having a private pool every time. The hotel has two pools—the Shell Pool’s design is stunning and often occupied by foreigners reading during the day, so we went less often. The villa area pool is larger with sections and even has a slide, making it ideal for kids. The beach is shaded by big trees, and lounging on the chairs feels very breezy. Plenty of beach activities are provided, like volleyball, soccer, taekwondo lessons, and exploring the shore with provided tools. Hermit crabs were everywhere, much to the delight of the kids! There’s no kids’ club here, so they simply enjoyed swimming and the beach. Evenings were often spent playing at the pool. During our stay, we also tried the spa. I chose Thai massage, and my mom picked the oil massage—both were good quality, though on the pricier side. However, it’s worth trying if you have time to spare on the island. Two nights on Coconut Island felt just right, with a true sense of being away from it all. It’s a great spot for city-dwellers to unwind and families looking for a peaceful getaway from the crowds, enjoying a slower pace of life.
This was our second time staying at Four Points by Sheraton in Patong, Phuket, and for good reason. There are plenty of highlights that keep us coming back! The breakfast is incredibly well-prepared, the atmosphere is tranquil, the design style is appealing, and the restaurant serves fantastic food! Located at the quieter north end of Patong Beach, the hotel offers a peaceful vibe but remains within walking distance of busier areas, all at a fair price. What truly stands out is the architecture – modern and minimalist with a resort-like feel. Artistic touches are everywhere, from wall murals to sculptures, adding a unique charm. The murals display elements from Chinese culture, like peonies, fans, and tea canisters, which felt familiar and comforting every time we passed by. We booked a king-size room. Although not particularly large, it felt cozy and aligned with the hotel's harmonious design concept. The swimming pool is surrounded by lush greenery, perfect for both family fun and quiet relaxation. Near the lobby is the stunning Deck Pool, with its infinity design and expansive views. Accompanied by upbeat music, this spot had the perfect vibe each visit. For the kids, the "Little Sea Gypsies" club was a hit. Activities like pirate ship slides, block play, and DIY crafts kept them occupied endlessly. Our candle-making workshop was enjoyable, and the reasonable fees made it even better. Another highlight was the dining experience. Breakfast featured a rotating menu full of surprises. One morning, there were assorted rice balls (tuna, beef, shrimp, and more), while another day offered mini sandwiches with varied fillings. The option to make freshly squeezed juice added a nice touch. The effort and detail truly set this hotel apart. Although a bustling commercial street is nearby, we found ourselves dining at the hotel’s SEARS & CO restaurant thrice! Their burgers were a standout – thick, juicy, and wonderfully American. The Thai dishes like curried fish, Korean-style fried chicken, and pasta were equally impressive with reasonable prices. Our daily schedule felt blissful. After breakfast, we’d head to the kids’ club, enjoy lunch, relax a bit, visit the pool, have dinner, and stroll along the beach to the bar streets. Every day was just so relaxing! ✅ Four Points by Sheraton Phuket Patong Beach Resort 📍 Address: 198/8-9 Thawewong Road, Patong

The staff here speak Chinese, making communication very convenient. They are very friendly and fun. There's a photographer who will take pictures for you. The elephants and baby elephants are also very well-behaved and cute. Although it's quite hot outdoors in Thailand, this camp has a Starbucks that's very cool inside, and you can even paint there.

RizfyaHanuman World is definately a place to go to for half a day of fun. The best was the roller zipline. i thought it was safe and normal but it was exhilarating. half of the time i was hanging onto my dear life. The luge was fun too. for those who like to race with friends, the luge is a fun way to do it. If u have time, the unlimited rides would be very worth it. Being afraid of heights, the skywalk was the scariest for me.
ChilliPadiChanI had an excellent day at Andamanda Phuket Waterpark. The park was beautifully designed, very clean and well maintained, with a great selection of slides, pools and attractions. There was something to enjoy throughout the entire day.I also booked a private Wave Cabana for the whole day, which was a great choice. It provided a comfortable and relaxing private space where I could rest between activities and keep my belongings safely nearby.The staff were friendly, helpful and professional, and the facilities were excellent. Everything was well organised, and the whole experience offered very good value for money. I had a fantastic time and highly recommend Andamanda to anyone visiting Phuket.
_TI***t2Tickets: Buying early is recommended for more choices; VIP tickets are highly recommended for a clear view of the front rows. Time: 4 shows daily, 18:00/19:30/21:00/22:30 Show Tips: The entire show lasts one hour, and photography is only allowed during the first act, so act quickly. The entire performance is song and dance, suitable for children. The choreography is clearly very well done, featuring dances from various styles including Russian, Japanese, Korean, traditional Chinese, and Hawaiian, ensuring there's no boredom. Photo Tips: After leaving the stage, you can take photos with the performers. Choose any of the rows outside; they're very cooperative and posed for photos. They are all beautiful, fair-skinned, and have long legs, so be prepared!
Anna ShangIt was a wonderful experience with the tiger. The area looks so precious. A good place to chill with friends, family or even as a solo traveler.
Shahrukh Shahriar BDShows was perfect and interesting. Just the mist on fans before the show a bit annoying. We enjoyed the show and performance.
Smithy WangThe show was incredible, food pretty average but huge selection, also Halal available. Not a fan of the elephants for rides and not sure how I feel about how they have been trained for the shows either...all the animals actually. Trapeze was the star of the show...still great show though
Mere n MaraeaGreat experience, totally worth the amount I paid for it. I purchased the general admissions ticket + buffet dinner for £8.87!! I didn’t think it was legit when comparing to the other ticket prices being closer to £40 but I arrived and everything was so smooth and easy. Really cute and fun night out. Really good for families, nice to experience as a solo traveller too.
Anonymous userI really enjoyed my time at Patong Beach. The beach has a lively atmosphere, and there was always something happening, from people playing in the water to vendors selling snacks and drinks. The sand was clean enough for relaxing, and the sea was warm, although it could get crowded during the afternoon. I stayed until sunset, and the view was beautiful with the sky changing to shades of orange and pink. After that, I walked around the nearby streets where there were plenty of restaurants, shops, and places to enjoy the evening. It was convenient because everything was within walking distance. If you prefer a quiet beach, this may not be the best choice, but if you enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with lots of activities, Patong Beach is definitely worth visiting. I would happily come back for another relaxing evening by the sea.
