Top Hotels in Phuket
Explore Phuket with stays near iconic landmarks, luxury hotels, and top boutiques for the best shopping and dining
Dara Hotel ★★★★
Some of the city's top sights are just a few minutes' walk away.
HOMA Phuket Town ★★★★
"More facilities will be better if a longer stay is involved. View is average"
The Beach Heights Resort ★★★★
"Great place in a great location. Close to markets, restaurants and the beach."
Beyond Patong ★★★★
"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."
YouDee Hotel ★★★★
"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."
77 Patong Hotel & Spa ★★★
"The place is beautiful and close to almost everything."
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."
Nai Yang Beach Resort and Spa ★★★★
"It was good. Near by beach. Resort have mini water park also with slides and water sprinklers."
Phuket Orchid Resort and Spa ★★★★
"Great place for the kids and is a located close to the beach. Food is good. The pools are fun. Thanks!"

Meet Holiday Hotel-Rawai
"There are convenience stores and restaurants right outside, so it's super easy and convenient to buy daily necessities."
Kana Triple L Hotel Phuket
"This hotel has great hospitality and amenities. Infinity pool is great for phuket views. Only drawback is its location. All good though."
Phuket Patong Buri Resort
"Honestly, I have no idea how this place got so many good reviews. I booked a 6-day stay based on them, and on the very first night, the noise level hit 60 decibels – it was impossible to sleep. The reviews said there would be Chinese-speaking staff, but in reality, communication was impossible, and even translation apps weren't accurate. The front desk eventually moved me to a different room, but it was just as bad. The next morning, I contacted Trip.com and the hotel to request a refund for the remaining 5 nights. The front desk agreed at the time, but after I checked out, Trip.com told me the hotel wouldn't process the refund. It wasn't until I threatened to call the police that Trip.com said they'd only refund 4 nights, deducting one night's fee. I really feel ripped off. Seriously, folks, don't fall for this trap. I have decibel meter readings and audio/video recordings if anyone wants to see them."
Kalima Resort & Spa Phuket
Enjoy ocean views from your room, balcony, the pool, or the restaurant.
The Oceanic Sportel Phuket
"We initially booked a 1 night stay at The Oceanic Sportel on a whim after visiting Kata Beach to explore another side of Phuket, but it was so comfortable that we ended up extending it for a second night! Everything about the hotel itself was outstanding. Rooms & Facilities: The lobby is modern and stylish, and the rooms are large, high tech, and exceptionally comfortable and cozy. Service & Staff: The staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and spoke fluent English, making communication and extending our stay effortless. Family Atmosphere: Truly family friendly with a wonderful environment for kids. The only minor point to note is that there isn't much within walking distance directly around the hotel. If you want to explore other parts of Phuket, you will need to rely on Grab or a taxi whenever you head out. Overall, an absolute gem of a hotel. Highly recommended!"
Amora Beach Resort Phuket
"When I checked in, I specifically requested not to have a room at the end of the hallway, and the foreign staff member who assisted me confirmed it wouldn't be an end room, but rather one in the middle. Turns out, room 825 was indeed an end room. When I went back to the front desk to complain, they even asked me for the reason why I didn't want an end room... I was really speechless... Plus, the location is quite isolated."
Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort
"Breakfast was delicious, and the staff provided excellent service. The public areas were beautiful. There weren't many Chinese guests, and the pool was quite busy. The only minor drawback is that it's a bit far from the bustling areas, making transportation a bit inconvenient."
The Royal Paradise Hotel & Spa
"The hotel is very clean. I saw another review saying that it was an old hotel, but it has actually been renovated. I was really satisfied with the room because it pleasantly surprised me, it was much better than I expected. My room also had a great view facing Patong Beach, which made my stay even better. Overall, I had a great stay! 😊"
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."
Beyond Kata
"Before booking, I saw reviews mentioning that Chinese guests were often assigned rooms at the end of the hall, and specifically, those facing the noisy street. When we checked in, we specifically asked the front desk not to put us in a room facing the street because it would be too loud. Yet, all five of our rooms were placed at the very end of the hall, on the loudest, street-facing side. The noise went on until 1 AM, and then road construction with jackhammering started again in the morning. It truly felt like we were being discriminated against, as if we were asking for special favors. The pool is tiny and gets very crowded, raising concerns about hygiene. Plus, swimming isn't allowed after 7 PM. Breakfast options are limited, mostly just 'white people food' (referring to a basic, uninspired selection). The hotel itself is small, with no other common areas or activities. Front desk staff were unhelpful and even gave us dirty looks 🙄. There's no luggage service, and out of our five rooms, only one received the welcome fruit – I'm not sure why, and I didn't bother asking. That's just how it was. This place is definitely not as good as the Sun Wing Hotel I stayed at previously."
Sawaddi Patong Resort & Spa by Tolani
"VERY FRIENDLY & WARM WELCOMING STAFF. CLEAN AND PHOTOGENIC RENOVATION"
Chanalai Garden Resort, Kata Beach
"The hotel is a bit old and the facilities are dated, but the location is decent. You can walk to the beach in about 2 minutes. The hotel's swimming pool is quite small, and the sun loungers are often fully occupied."
The Front Village
"I was given a room at the very end of the hallway, which was supposed to be a 'seaview superior room.' However, all I could see was overgrown weeds outside the door, and no sign of a swimming pool. The elderly gentleman at the entrance was very kind though; he stopped traffic with a red flag to help us cross the road."
Selina Serenity Rawai Phuket
"Really enjoyed my stay and will definitely be returning in the future. Extremely relaxing, lovely facilities (gym, pool), scheduled activities."
6th Avenue Surin Beach
"Absolutely love to stay there. It was fantastic. Beautiful room, very spacious. Very clean. The pool was amazing and the restaurant was really good with food and the a fresh smoothies"
