Dara Hotel ★★★★
Some of the city's top sights are just a few minutes' walk away.
Beyond Patong ★★★★
"Thank you, Beyond Patong, for making my mom’s birthday so special. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with exceptional hospitality in Phuket. I will definitely be back!"
The Beach Heights Resort ★★★★
"The hotel is easy to find, close to shopping, and convenient for travel."
HOMA Phuket Town ★★★★
"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."
Nai Yang Beach Resort and Spa ★★★★
"It was good. Near by beach. Resort have mini water park also with slides and water sprinklers."
Chanakarn Resort Rawai ★★★★
"Due to the war between Iran and Israel, my flight to Phuket was canceled and I was unable to arrive. I asked the hotel to postpone my stay by a month and sent confirmation of my flight cancellation. The hotel did not accept my request. Too bad. I will not recommend this hotel to my friends."
Blue Carina Hotel(Central 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."
Panwaburi Beachfront Resort ★★★★★
"Well, as has been said before, this is an Instagram hotel, great for pretty photos. Check-ins and check-outs are non-stop, with a constant change of faces. But the photos really do turn out beautiful. We had a room with pool access, which was very small. It was a tight squeeze for two people. There was nowhere to even put our belongings, let alone dry them. There's one small rail near the bathroom. No closets. The floor was constantly wet because of the pool access. Plus, the shower door didn't close properly, so water splashed everywhere. The sink was in the middle of the room. Basically, water everywhere! I removed my daughter from the photo, hence the AI caption. Oh, and by the way, their restaurant is quite good and, most importantly, affordable. We later checked into another hotel nearby but kept coming back to their restaurant."
Maya Phuket Airport Hotel ★★★★
"As a transitional hotel, it's alright, but what really annoyed me was how yellow and dirty the comforter was. The bathroom and everything else were just so-so. But then again, the price was cheap, so I guess it's fine..."

Choose the Perfect Phuket Stay for Your Travel Needs
Silver Resortel
"Convenient location and good services. Walking distance to the beach and the walking street."
Aurico Kata Resort & Spa
"The rooms are a bit dated. The staff attitude was good, but the breakfast was terrible! It felt like it was geared towards Westerners. If you're not too concerned about quality and ambiance, you might consider this place."
Patong Beach Hotel by See2Sea
"This is the best hotel choice when traveling to Phuket. There are fun places nearby. The beach is just a short walk across the street. And Bangla Road is just a 2-minute walk to the right from the hotel."
Wyndham Garden Phuket Kamala
"The room was pretty good, with a cozy layout. There's a large pool right outside the room that's great for soaking or even swimming. The hotel also offers a free shuttle bus to the beach. The only minor inconvenience is that the hotel is located on a hill, so you need to take a shuttle to get to your room, or you can call the front desk to arrange one. Overall, it was a good stay."
Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort
"On the first day, the guy at the front desk kept trying to get me to pay extra. I did have three additional children with me, all under 12. He insisted the hotel policy was based on year of birth, not month, so it would count as 1 adult + 2 children. I explained we had just come from a boat trip and asked if we could check in first, and I’d pay for breakfast tomorrow if needed. The front desk said it was a 'headcount' fee, not a breakfast fee. They put us in rooms in two different buildings. I have to say, Trip.com was reliable and ended up covering the extra headcount fee. The next day, two of my kids developed fevers. Susan and Zai at the hotel front desk were very caring and offered to call a doctor to the room if needed. It really highlights the importance of having overseas travel insurance, though we didn't end up needing a doctor. The kids had caught a chill the first night but recovered after taking some medicine and resting all day. Trip.com came through for us. The night staff at the hotel were not friendly at all, but the daytime front desk staff were very reliable and friendly. The room had a great sea view, but there wasn't a circular sofa in the room as I had hoped."
Phuket Emerald Beach Resort
"The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming, especially 'Nong Ing' – she was wonderful and provided excellent service. The room was fantastic and very clean. Breakfast was absolutely amazing! There were also lots of activities for kids, including a kids' club and a water park."
JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa
A classic luxury beachfront resort with multiple pools, direct beach access, and extensive full-service amenities usually means a place with timeless design, large landscaped grounds, fine dining, spa facilities, and polished service, rather than a trendy or minimalist hotel.
Kalima Resort & Spa Phuket
Enjoy ocean views from your room, balcony, the pool, or the restaurant.
Mandarava Resort and Spa Phuket
"Pros: The service was quite enthusiastic and responsive. The rooms were spacious with 180-degree views, and the bedding was comfortable. Also, since they are all stand-alone villas with only neighbors above and below, soundproofing and privacy are better. The staggered layout allows for distant sea views from the balconies, and there are many pools to enjoy water activities within the hotel. Breakfast was decent, quite simple, with good fruit, but the juices were not freshly squeezed, which was a bit disappointing. Cons: The gym equipment was limited, and the hotel is quite far from the beach and town. Overall, it's good value for money, nothing exceptional but left a positive impression. It's not over-the-top excellent though. This hotel is suitable for those looking for a quiet retreat nestled on a hillside or for people who plan to go sightseeing far away during the day. Tourists who prefer convenience to living areas or want to spend time at the beach should consider other options."
Splash Beach Resort Maikhao Phuket
From the private beach you can watch planes taking off and landing — it's within easy walking distance.
Sawasdee Village
"This hotel offers a rich Thai experience, feeling like a tropical oasis with exotic scenery at every turn. The starlit pool is incredibly dreamy and romantic, perfect for photos. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, and the service is warm and attentive. With convenient dining and shopping nearby, it offers excellent value for money and is the perfect choice for an immersive getaway!"
Angsana Laguna Phuket
Angsana Laguna Phuket is a sprawling 5-star beachfront resort nestled in the Laguna complex (Bang Tao Beach), renowned for its massive lagoon-style pool, direct beach access, and a fantastic range of activities for all ages. It’s one of Phuket’s most complete “stay-in-one-resort” holiday destinations.
Kana Triple L Hotel Phuket
"The owner of this hotel is Chinese, and they were incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful. Since we visited Phuket during the Chinese New Year holiday, many excursions were fully booked, but the owner gave us excellent advice and a lot of assistance. The hotel is situated on a hillside, offering great city and sea views. There's also a rooftop pool where you can overlook the entire Patong area. Overall, I had a very satisfying stay at this hotel."
Cape Sienna Gourmet Hotel & Villas
"Honestly, the only good thing about this place is the view. It's really only suitable if you plan on just staying at the hotel. If you have an itinerary, definitely don't book here. The deposit is a hefty 4000 baht, and adding an extra person is really expensive. The front desk staff weren't great either; they were always looking at their phones. My first hotel was so much better. This place really isn't worth the money."
Bauman Casa Hotel Phuket
"I had a wonderful stay here. The location is fantastic—just right across from the beach. The receptionists and staff were amazing: friendly, helpful, and very attentive throughout my stay."
Horizon Karon Beach Resort & Spa
"Good value for money."

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.
