Patong Beach Hotels
Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort
Luxurious accommodation and a truly enormous range of amenities facilities right on one of Thailand's most beautiful beaches sounds just too good to be true but in Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort's case it's not a mere advertising ploy – it happens to be spot on correct. Read more...
Millennium Resort Patong
It's not often that you can decide to call it a day after shopping your heart out and be in your hotel room just three minutes later. And how often is it that a vibrant world-renowned nightlife scene is mere minutes away from your hotel? Millennium Resort in Patong boasts these two points and even without them it would still be a great place to stay. Read more...
La Flora Resort Patong
Very new, very chic, very centrally located and right on the beach: This about sums up La Flora in Patong.
La Flora has 67 modern-designed rooms, suites and villas and its design is almost cubic with two parallel lap pools flanked by wings containing seven different types of accommodation.
If you're looking for modern chic right in the heart of Patong yet at the same time directly on the beach there's a lot to be said in La Flora's favour.

Holiday
Inn Phuket Review (Patong
Beach)
The Holiday Inn Resort Phuket is famous for two things
its great for families and the staff is
amazing. Not a bad reputation to have, especially when
combined with its other attributes: Its close
to the action of Patong Beach, but protected and peaceful.
It has four restaurants, a spa, conference
facilities, and a cooking school. And the beach is across
the street. Read
more... Read the Interview
with Mr Wolfgang Meusburger, GM of the Holiday Inn
Phuket.
Impiana Phuket
Cabana Review (Patong)
Impiana Phuket Cabana Resort and Spa is one of the leaders
in the Phuket hospitality league. Impiana was one of
the first high-level hotels on the island yet youd
never guess it as the resort has a just built
freshness to it. Everything from the large lobby
to the 76 guest units to the flagship Sala Bua restaurant
is well maintained and squeaky clean. Read
more...
Patong Paragon Hotel
Review (Patong)
With its large some would say towering
lobby, Patong Paragon has created the perfect place
to sit and watch the world go by as guests go through
the check-in process. Patong Paragon is located one
kilometre north of Patong center and just metres away
from the end of Patong Beach. Read more...
Banthai Beach
Resort Review (Patong)
Banthai Beach Resort and Spa has secured one of the
best locations in the heart of lively Patong. With Starbucks,
McDonalds, Warner Bros and Haagen Daas right on its
doorstep, and located just off the beach road, Banthai
is perfect for tourists wanting a close-up look at Phukets
most lively tourist town. Read more...
Novotel Phuket
Resort Review (Patong)
First impressions are so important. The towering lobby at Novotel Phuket Resort looks regal and is blessed with a cooling sea breeze. Its the perfect place to sit and read a newspaper while drinking a refreshing cup of coffee. The roof is supported by clever white palm tree-shaped pillars and the whole feeling is one of opulent luxury. The elegantly silk-clad staff complements this atmosphere perfectly. Read more...
Burasari Resort
Review (Patong
Beach )
If you love flora you'll love Burasari Resort. Even
though this compact hotel has no grounds to speak of
it boasts more foliage discreetly planted on its premises
than a medium-sized resort's gardens. Tropical flora
and the constant sound of running water are the two
immediate impressions one receives when arriving at
this beautiful boutique hotel. Read
more...
Kata & Karon Beach Hotels
Sugar Palm Resort
and Spa Review (Kata)
Katas Sugar Palm Resort and Spa delivers what
it promises on the label yet at a very affordable
price. This small boutique style resort
combines style with value in very nice packaging.Read more...
Mom Tri's Villa Royale
Review (Kata
Beach)

architect with an impressive resume and even more impressive
connections. Hes been on the island longer than

beach house. Read more...Read the interview of Mr Adisak Pitukrojjananont,, GM of Mom Tri's Villa Royale
Mövenpick Resort &
Spa Review (Karon)
Families, welcome to your perfect hotel. With a selection
of rooms suitable for more than two, an expansive childrens
area, plenty of activities and kid-friendly food (hot
dogs and chicken nuggets from room service), the five-star
Mövenpick Resort & Spa caters to travellers
with little ones in ways that few others hotels can
match. And with a location thats convenient and
quiet, the best of everything is easily within your
grasp.

The Secret Cliff Resort
Review (Karon)
The Secret Cliff Resort and Restaurant has one major
advantage over its competitors its seascape views
are out of this world. This must be the only spot with
a vista that embraces the west coast of Phuket all the
way from Relax Bay to Kata Noi, taking in Karon, Kata
and the recently constructed hilltop Big Buddha above
Kata. Read more...
Kamala, Surin & Bangtao Beach Hotels
Courtyard Marriott Surin
The Courtyard Marriott in Surin is a good example of a resort with well-balanced interior and exterior design and décor firmly enhancing both Thai and Western values and bringing the best out of both. Read more...
Banyan Tree Phuket
Spacious, elegant and impressive, the multi award-winning Banyan Tree Phuket plays to its strengths; excellent and polite service, luscious rolling grounds, full use of an array of Thai textiles and woods throughout and clever use of space in its public areas. The Banyan Tree Group is a leading manager and developer of premium resorts, hotels and spas in the Asia Pacific, and the Banyan Tree Phuket is the group's flagship resort. Read more...
Dusit Laguna Resort Phuket (Bangtao)
The Dusit Laguna Resort has been consistently wowing
visitors for more than 37 years and is situated on Bang
Tao Beach on Phukets west coast. Part of the six-hotel
Laguna Group, Dusit effortlessly exudes a Thai touch
through its well-trained staff, its classic décor
and its discernable relaxed atmosphere. Read
more...
The Chedi Hotel Phuket
Review (Surin)
Grafted into a coconut grove hillside with lush views
of arguably one of Phukets finest beaches lies
The Chedi; a landmark hotel that has been here since
the beginning of Phukets tourist incarnation.
This classically designed grand dame is the work of
renowned Paris-based American architect Edward Tuttle. Read more...
Twinpalms Hotel
Phuket Review (Surin)
Located in well-heeled Surin, on Phukets west
coast strip known as Millionaires Row, Twinpalms
has generated quite a buzz in since it opened in late
2004. Id heard a lot of overwhelmingly positive
comments so I was looking forward to seeing the place
for myself.Read more...
Laguna Beach Resort
Review (Bangtao)
If you're searching for a fully-contained resort that
you don't need to leave for anything the
254-room Laguna Beach Resort is worth a look. And if
you have kids and you want them to be amused for your
whole holiday, look no further. This is a resort that
has a firm grip on the concept of catering to families
and children, even big ones! And being part of Laguna
Phuket there's much to explore. Read
more...
Ayara Hilltops Review (Surin Beach )
The scenery in prestigious Surin is stunning; verdant
jungle-covered hills provide a strong counterpoint to
the azure blue sea, the area's attraction is palpable.
From the moment you arrive at the 48-suite Ayara Hilltops
you're instantly relaxed, it's that contagious. The
lobby area is an airy space with high ceilings, smart
décor and smiling faces as the staff greeting
is very warm indeed. Read
more...
Chalong, Rawai & Nai Harn Beach Hotels
Vijitt Resort Phuket (Rawai)
Phuket is best known for its host of west coast resorts – most featuring views out over the Andaman Sea with stunning sunset vistas. But what about the island's east coast? In Rawai, at the foot of the island, a prime accommodation choice is the Vijitt Resort – a 92-villa, 18-acre project straddling a hillside and reaching down to Friendship Beach. Read the hotel review...
Evason Phuket Resort
Review (Laem
Ka)
Warning: capping the night with a muscle-melting massage,
room service and a bottle of sparkling wine could be
habit-forming. Add in the other ways Evason Phuket &
Six Senses Spa tempts and spoils, and it's a wonder
guests have the willpower to check-out and return home.
It needs to be stated upfront that this resort is on
a hill. Read the hotel review...
The
Royal Phuket Yacht Club (Nai
Harn)
Located near the extreme southern tip of Phuket Island
on Nai Harn
Beach, The Royal Phuket Yacht Club is a cocoon of
relaxation. Weighing in at 110 rooms, it's intimate
but not crowded; grand but not impersonal. Everything
required during a holiday stay is available onsite -
meals, drinks, activities, and a bit of souvenir shopping.
But that fact is borne from necessity. The Royal Phuket
Yacht Club isn't located "conveniently in the heart
of" anything.

Rising
Sun Residence Review (Chalong)
A stay at the Rising Sun Residences is probably going
to be an indulgent experience for you, as I discovered
during my visit to one of the 3 bedroom villas. The
concept envisaged by owner Methee Tahmanatragul was
to give people a real alternative to the hotel
option, and he should know what people want, with
over 30 years experience in the hotel management industry. Read more...Read the Interview with Khun Wipa, Assistant Managing Director.
Nearby Islands Hotels
Six Senses Hideaway
Yao Noi (Koh
Yao)
For the ultimate in luxurious pampering in a setting
that puts you at one with nature, an escape to this
stunning 'resort' located some 30 minutes from Phuket
by speedboat will be just the tonic. Read
more...
Holiday Inn Resort
Phi Phi Review (Phi
Phi)
By anyones standards, Phi Phi Don, the largest
of the six-island Phi Phi group, is one of the worlds
most beautiful islands. Its idyllic charm and bucolic
atmosphere makes it a global leader when it comes to
tropical splendour. But Phi Phi is not just about well-known
Tonsai and Loh Dalum bays. There are at least ten extremely
attractive beach and bay locations on Phi Phi Don and
one of the most striking is Laemthong Beach the
site of the Holiday Inn Resort Phi Phi Island. Read
more...
Arayaburi Resort
Phi Phi Review (Phi
Phi )
Situated in Laem Hin (Rocky Cape) and facing Phi Phi
Leh, the Phi Phi Bay View and Arayaburi Resort straddles
a leafy hillside overlooking Phi Phi Dons stunning
Tonsai Bay. Tonsai has long been known for its luscious
turquoise water, its verdant backdrop and the jungle-capped
cliffs on the far side of the bay. Read
more...
Nai Thon, Nai Yang & Mai Khao Beach Hotels
Anantara Phuket Resort & Spa
Anantara is, not to put too fine a point on it, unadulterated seaside luxury. This excellently-run all pool-villa resort pays acute attention to details. From the balance between the natural surroundings to the manicured flora throughout the grounds, to well-appointed and luxuriously fitted villas, good taste is evident. Read more...
JW Marriott Phuket (Mai Khao Beach)
The JW Marriott Phuket Resort and Spa on Mai Khao Beach was designed by Plan Associates in Bangkok. It first opened its doors in late 2001 and has since become a byword for excellence on the island. Marriott features an award-winning spa and restaurant and has extensive dining and recreational options spread out throughout its grounds. Read more...
SALA Phuket Resort Review (Mai
Khao)
The first surprise that awaits you when arriving at
the 79-villa SALA Phuket and Spa is its alternative
design. A spacious and shallow water pool with a pebbledash
bottom accompanies the black-tiled walkway into the
reception. Read more...
At Panta Phuket
Hotel Review (Thalang)
The instant you enter At Pantas grounds the tranquility
is almost tangible. By the lobby entrance stands an
old rickshaw as if to say, Take it easy; you wont
be needing a car for as long as youre here.
This resort is almost exclusively designed in the Lanna
style of fifteenth-century Northwestern Thailand and
the accent is on teakwood floors, furniture and walls. Read more...
Trisara Phuket Review (near Naithon
Beach)
Trisara (pronounced tree-sara) perfectly
complements the beauty of the Andaman Sea and vice versa.
This spectacular, all-villa resort, built into the contours
of a verdant private bay just south of Nai Thon Beach
in the northern part of Phuket is not to put
a fine point on it, simply fabulous. Read more...
Phuket Pavilions
Hotel Review (Naithon)
Phuket Pavilions isnt merely recommendable. Its
unique approach to ultra-plush accommodation tempts
me to call every person I know and suggest they book
a room immediately if only to give me an excuse
to visit the resort again. The selfishness is justified,
however. Every villa is like a small palace, shielded
from neighbours and offering a level of intimate extravagance
that should be far more expensive than it is. Read
more...
Indigo
Pearl Hotel Review (Nai
Yang Beach)
I wasnt really worried; everyone I talked
to said this was a classy place. Even so, the marketing
materials used a smattering of words that arent
normally associated with resorts: Factory. Plantation.
Tin mine. Industrial. Read

Sofitel Phokeethra Krabi
Resort & Spa
Put in simple terms, Sofitel Krabi is a throwback to
colonial elegance with all the advantage of modern conveniences.
The 276 rooms and suites loosely follow the same design
pattern throughout the spacious five-star resort with
generous use of teak and Thai textile trimmings. Opened
in November 2006, a full 80% of the rooms feature sea
views and the centrally located 6,000sqm pool is a wonder
to behold. Read more...
