HOMA Phuket Town ★★★★

📍 3, 41 Soi Samkong 1, Ratsada, Mueang Phuket, Phuket

"The environment is beautiful, and though the hotel is small, it's very well-designed. The room facilities are all new, and the kitchenware is clean and complete. The infinity pool offers stunning views, perfect for a relaxing vacation, and it's especially great for digital nomads. There's also a library-like co-working space on the first floor. The hotel breakfast is à la carte and offers excellent value for money."

Chanakarn Resort Rawai
8.6 (245 reviews)

Chanakarn Resort Rawai ★★★★

📍 87/142-143 Moo7 Rawai sub-district, Mueang Phuket, Phuket

Beyond Patong
8.8 (1,553 reviews)

Beyond Patong ★★★★

📍 8 Sawatdirak Rd, Pa Tong, Kathu District, Kathu, Phuket

"The only downside of my Phuket and Chiang Mai trip. Seriously, don't book this place, folks! The locals in Phuket are lovely, and the scenery is beautiful. But definitely avoid this hotel in the Patong area. The entire room was incredibly damp and had a strong musty smell. I got sick after just one night, and the replacement room wasn't much better. There are construction sites and dust everywhere outside. The air conditioning hasn't been cleaned in probably a decade. The surrounding roads are under constant repair all day long, making it very dusty. And the street vendors are constantly loud and soliciting."

The Beach Heights Resort
8.7 (583 reviews)

The Beach Heights Resort ★★★★

📍 18-21 98/70 Kata Rd, Karon, เมือง, Mueang Phuket, Phuket

Blue Carina Hotel(Central Phuket)
8.5 (1,015 reviews)

Blue Carina Hotel(Central Phuket) ★★★★

📍 61, Soi Bang Yai, Mueang Phuket, Phuket

"Trip.com, seriously, how can you charge over 400 for a room like this and call it 4-star? The hotel is located on the edge of what looks like a slum. There's basically no ambiance to speak of, and no elevator! I had to haul two 40-pound suitcases up to the third floor. No breakfast either. I thought it looked decent from the photos, but when I walked into the room with my child, I was completely shocked. It's straight out of a Chinese village guesthouse from the 90s. The sheets were damp, and the hotel photos are drastically different from what's advertised on Trip.com."

Phuket Orchid Resort and Spa
8.6 (1,721 reviews)

Phuket Orchid Resort and Spa ★★★★

📍 34 Luang Phor Chuan Rd, Mueang Phuket, Phuket

"Great place for the kids and is a located close to the beach. Food is good. The pools are fun. Thanks!"

"Nothing great about this hotel. The gym is pretty standard but the breakfast is certainly below par. Location is close to Central Phuket around 200m but if you want to go to Phuket old town and beaches will require a car."

Chanakarn Resort Rawai ★★★★
"AVOID!!!!!!! It was the wirst experience I ever had in a hotel, our room was so moldy that I felt it in my throat after 30mim in the room. I told the staff about it they didn’t care and just sprayed something in the room. My friend had to sleep outside because of the health risk of the mold, so we needed a second blanket (we had one before) and they tried to charge me 2000 baht for that. RUDE!!!!!! Also we had animals in the room, worst experience EVER!!!!"

Nai Yang Beach Resort and Spa ★★★★
"Just had our first stay at a 4-star hotel in Thailand and honestly… this might be the most worth-it hotel we’ve ever booked! 🇹🇭✨ We stayed as a couple for one night at Naiyang Beach Resort & Spa and the experience totally exceeded our expectations. The hotel has a perfect combination of modern vibes and nature — surrounded by lush greenery, peaceful atmosphere, and beautiful resort-style landscaping 🌴 The room was surprisingly spacious and we even got a FREE room upgrade 😍 Plus, it came with a smart TV, making the stay even more comfortable. Best part? The beach is only about a 3-minute walk away! Perfect location for anyone who loves relaxing beach vibes without staying directly in the crowded area 🌊 For us, this was our first time staying at a hotel in Thailand that felt THIS worth it, even for just one night. And the craziest part… we got it for a jackpot price of only RM100!! 🔥 Definitely left us excited and already planning to repeat again next time — especially with the kids 👨👩👧👦❤️"

Beyond Patong ★★★★
"The shower water was inconsistent, alternating between hot and cold, and the temperature couldn't be adjusted. It was also extremely hot, making it easy to get scalded. The furniture is primarily made of wood, and our room had termites, with some visible wood erosion. **Key Features** * **Location:** Situated in the heart of Patong Beach, within walking distance of the beach and Bangla Road nightlife. * **Design:** Interior decor features ocean wave elements. * **Rooms:** 161 clean and comfortable rooms and suites, offering bathrobes, slippers, and Wi-Fi. * **Services:** * **Facilities:** Rooftop pool, gym, bar. --- ⭐ **Guest Reviews** * **Pros:** * Excellent staff service. * Rooms were more spacious than expected and well-equipped. * Convenient location, ideal for those who enjoy nightlife. * Reasonable price, great value for money. * **Potential Cons:** * Located in the lively Patong area, so there might be noise at night. * Not suitable for guests seeking a quiet getaway."

"The hotel facilities are excellent, and the staff are incredibly welcoming. Staying at U Dee Hotel is definitely a must-consider option when visiting Phuket. The rooftop pool is absolutely beautiful. If you're like us and don't speak Thai or English, they even offer a special car service to the airport for a fee, which is more convenient than taking a taxi."

Phuket Orchid Resort and Spa ★★★★
"The hotel is a bit old, but clean and cozy. It has two water slides that operate from 10 AM to 6 PM. The breakfast buffet is very diverse with delicious food, including fruits, vegetables, pastries, porridges, soups, and cereals – you definitely won't go hungry! Our room was large, with a balcony and a mountain view. Housekeeping and towel changes were daily, and they provide four bottles of drinking water. The pool is warm and clean; there's a large one with the slides and a smaller separate pool with kids' activities."

You can experience all of this in Phuket: party until dawn, relax on the beach, explore hidden temples, and stroll through the local market. Yes, the beach has reached a new level (definitely worth a visit), but you can also go further inland to the old town to learn about Phuket's past and the restaurants that serve chili and blue ginger seasoned dishes.​
