Resorts in Phuket

"This time, I stayed at this hotel during my trip to Thailand. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and check-in was smooth. I had some anxieties about traveling abroad, but the staff's attentive service put me at ease and allowed me to relax. The room was clean and spacious enough for a comfortable stay. The bed was very comfortable, and I was able to fully recover from my travel fatigue. The facilities were well-maintained, and I didn't experience any inconvenience during my several-day stay. The hotel's ambiance was wonderful, offering a true resort feel that really immersed me in the Thai experience. I particularly loved the stunning scenery and atmosphere around the hotel; it was a comforting space to return to. The location was also convenient, making it easy to go sightseeing, dine out, and get around the city. The staff were very helpful with transportation like taxis, which was reassuring for my first trip to Thailand. Overall, the hotel had a calm atmosphere, which I think makes it ideal for those looking to relax during their trip. The staff's smiles and thoughtfulness left a lasting impression, and I truly felt that staying here was a great choice. A significant part of what made this trip such a wonderful memory was the comfortable stay at this hotel. If I have the chance to visit Thailand again, I would definitely love to stay here once more. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"

"The hotel environment is generally quiet and peaceful. However, when checking out, they were unwilling to grant even a 30-minute late checkout. As for the Shimmer restaurant within the hotel, there's one waitress who seems to have a split personality. Her demeanor and attitude towards white guests and Asian guests are completely different. White guests are allowed to use the beach loungers just by ordering a drink, but when I wanted to, I was told I had to spend a minimum of 3000 Baht. Her attitude was also very poor, almost as if she was interrogating a criminal. The service from everyone else, though, was quite good and friendly."

"An incredible return visit — Cape Sienna never disappoints This was our second stay at Cape Sienna, and it was every bit as wonderful as the first — maybe even better. We stayed for 9 nights and were sad to leave. What struck us right away was that the staff remembered we were returning guests. That kind of attention to detail says a lot about how this hotel treats its guests, and it made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived. The views here are simply amazing — the kind you find yourself stopping to take in every single day, whether from the room, the pool, or the restaurant. Cape Sienna’s hillside position gives it a real edge, and it never gets old. The location is another huge plus. You’re close to everything you’d want — restaurants, beaches, and activities are all within easy reach, so you get the best of both a peaceful retreat and easy access to explore. And then there’s the staff. Every single person we interacted with was warm, happy, and genuinely helpful — the kind of service that makes a good hotel into a great one. It’s clear the team here takes real pride in what they do. We’re already looking forward to a third visit. If you’re considering Cape Sienna, don’t hesitate — book it"

"We put a lot of thought into choosing our hotel and were so glad we picked the Sawasdee in the end. As soon as you step in from the street, you enter a completely different world. The grounds are beautifully designed – so much greenery and water. Especially in the dark, when everything is wonderfully lit up – just stunning. We had a room with pool access, which was very pleasant. The rooms were spacious and everything was clean. The housekeeping staff were truly working from morning until evening. Breakfast was also excellent. There was something for everyone. You could have scrambled eggs or an omelet freshly prepared. A huge thank you to the lady who made our mornings so delightful every day. There was also fruit and warm Thai dishes, French toast, pancakes – I can't even list everything. Our special thanks also go to the bellboys. They always had a kind word for us, joked around, and gave us tips. We can't praise the entire staff enough. It was truly a unique experience and hopefully not our last. One more thing comes to mind. We had to leave very early due to our schedule and received a wonderful packed lunch. Thank you for that too. Keep up the great work. You can tell you all enjoy your jobs."

"The service was incredibly warm and welcoming, and having the 'rabbit car' (shuttle service) was a great help for getting around. We received a complimentary welcome fruit basket on our first day, which was a lovely touch. The hotel also boasts a private beach that remains peaceful and private even during peak season. We'd definitely come back again. The only minor drawback was that the Italian risotto I had was a bit undercooked, quite al dente."

"We chose a family room, and the kids had bunk beds, but it turned out to be an older renovation. The key card stopped working immediately; check-in was already late, around 10 PM. In the morning, we asked for a change, and thankfully, the staff handled it quickly. We moved to a room with one large bed, and they added an extra bed for us, which was much more comfortable! This room had been recently renovated! The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the sea! The beach club is super. You step out of the hotel, and there are shops, massage parlors, and a 7-Eleven nearby!"

"My experience at Keemala was beautiful and different in terms of concept and design 🌿. What I liked most was how smartly the property blends the villas with nature. You feel like the villa is part of the forest, not just a normal hotel room. The atmosphere is peaceful, the privacy is great, and the views around the property give a relaxing feeling away from city noise ☁️. The bathroom was truly impressive, with beautiful design, space, and details ✨. It was one of the best parts of the villa for me. Breakfast was also good, and the shakshuka was amazing and very delicious 🍳. The staff were kind and respectful ⭐️, and it was clear that they tried to help as much as possible. However, I also felt that some of them seemed a bit tired or stressed. That being said, I did not feel the place was as luxurious as I expected for the high price 💸. The experience is unique, but it is more about the nature concept, privacy, and design rather than classic luxury or the level of service I expected from a resort at this price. Also, you should not mind seeing geckos almost everywhere 🦎. This may be normal because the property is surrounded by nature, but it may not be comfortable for everyone. The most disappointing part of my stay was an incident near the private pool. There was a glass cup, and I thought it was safe to use around the pool or maybe non-breakable, but the wind knocked it down and it broke. After that, the hotel charged the full 3,000 THB deposit for cleaning, even though the staff cleaned the area in less than 20 minutes and told me it was safe afterward. Later, during checkout, I was told again that the area was not safe and that the deposit would be kept for further cleaning, which felt very frustrating. I really think the resort should provide non-breakable cups around both private and public pools, because glass near a pool can easily become a problem for any guest, especially with wind or outdoor areas. I also hope the deposit policy becomes clearer and more reasonable, because losing the full deposit for an accidental situation left a negative feeling at the end of the stay. Overall, I recommend it if you are looking for a unique nature stay, high privacy, creative design, and a beautiful bathroom. I would not recommend it if you expect strong luxury for the price, dislike geckos, or do not like strict policies for small accidents."

"For the latter half of our trip to Phuket, we switched to the Marina Phuket Resort, nestled between Kata and Karon beaches. Firstly, this hotel boasts a traditional Thai style, built on a hillside with a rich tropical rainforest vibe. Strolling through the grounds feels like being immersed in a romantic jungle. The architecture is distinctly Thai, and the landscaping offers beautiful scenery at every turn. What truly stands out is that the rear of the hotel connects directly to Karon Beach. Come sunset, gazing out at the horizon, the crimson twilight merges with the sea, waves caress the golden sand, and the dark cliff rocks add to a stunning, unparalleled view. You can walk along the soft, fine sand or enjoy playing in the water – it's perfect. Next door, there's a restaurant that hosts fireworks and fire-breathing shows in the evenings, so if your timing is right, you can enjoy them for free. Secondly, the hotel's service is generally attentive and gentle, very much in the Thai style – perfect for a relaxed, slow-paced vacation. Guests receive complimentary dinner daily at the Red Chopsticks restaurant right outside, offering a fusion of cuisines that's pretty decent. Breakfast is served by the pool, though the selection isn't extensive. Finally, I personally feel this hotel is better suited for older families or couples seeking a quiet retreat. For families with young children, there aren't many play areas, and due to its hillside location, it might be inconvenient for the elderly to move around."

"A beautiful hotel with magnificent views from the pool, restaurants, and many rooms. It's more suited for adults seeking a quiet, secluded getaway. You'll hardly see anyone anywhere! There's a lovely small beach with great snorkeling, loungers, a cafe, and a restroom, and again, hardly anyone there! Make sure to bring your water shoes. The breakfast selection is small, with a menu for hot dishes and a small buffet line. The coffee is excellent. I had lunch twice; one time it was delicious – spaghetti with scallops – but the second time, the duck confit was old and not very good. For dinner, we either drove or walked to the promenade, where there are many budget-friendly options. The buggies are helpful for navigating the hills. The staff is superb; they promptly resolve all issues. When it rained, they ran to the car with umbrellas to help us stay dry. We even received a room upgrade and were allowed a late check-out, which was incredibly convenient. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"

"Five-star review! We stayed in a family room on the first floor. It's inevitable for it to be a bit humid, but that's really due to the local climate and weather, so I don't think the room's orientation or floor made much of a difference. We were right next to the kids' pool, so we could just open the door and walk out – super convenient! With one king bed and a bunk bed, it was absolutely perfect and comfortable for a family of four! As for the hotel environment, it's very spacious. Although the breakfast leaned towards Western style, they had local noodles and soups that tasted great. Enjoying some bread and jam with black tea and coffee was also a nice touch. All the staff we encountered were very friendly, and the room cleaning was prompt – very good. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money. Both adults and kids could spend a whole day in the pool, and the two big waterslides were even better! Karon Beach is just a right turn out of the hotel, and there are many hidden gem restaurants nearby. Plus, there are two 7-Elevens right outside, and you absolutely have to visit Thailand's 7-Elevens multiple times a day! And for durian, you'll definitely be full! There are a few stalls at the 7-Eleven intersection, where we found the long-stemmed, sticky kind. The Monthong durian near the Karon roundabout, just a short taxi ride away, was also delicious!"
