4-Star Hotels in Phuket

"We stayed at Homa as the first part of our 3 location 2 week holiday in Thailand. It was an excellent way to start our holiday at the end of a long-haul flight. The hotel is modern, fresh, ideally located and with excellent facilities. The staff were fantastic, extremely courteous and polite and always willing to help. The reception staff were great and a special thank you to Alice, she was awesome providing advice on tourist locations and restaurants to visit. The room (Studio Cool XL) was perfect, roomy, modern with everything needed. The gym facilities were great for cardio and weights and there are even daily gym classes covering a variety of options from Thai boxing, to stretching to weights with the gym instructors being enthusiastic and fun (A special shout out to Ang/Hang for his enthusiastic all over weights session). The roof top pool and sun lounging area was really special, amazing views and lots of room to relax and swim. Although the location is a little out of the main town, there are endless local restaurants nearby providing really great street food at 'local' thai prices, far more enjoyable than being ripped off in the centre of town. There's also a local night market walkable from the hotel. The hotel also offers FREE town bikes for guests to use, this provided a great opportunity to get around the area and see the full character of Phuket Old Town from the seat of a bike rather than a taxi or bus. Highly recommend to make use of the bikes. Overall we loved our stay at Homa, we were made to feel so welcome and the hotel staff and facilities were perfect."

"My honest experience of this place, I stayed here a week.. The moment I checked in the woman at reception had 0 customer service and 0 personality. I did request a room on the bottom floor with good wifi for work, they put me on floor 4 and no wifi. I tried the breakfast one time which I had cereal and 2 scrambled eggs. The location is not bad as it’s convenient if you’re flying the next day, I wouldn’t suggest a week, however there is some nice resorts and beaches near by. They have a pool which is okay, the tiles are falling off and the pool bar wasn’t available but it was fine. The cleaners work hard as they put water and towels in my room every day, however I did get bitten by something in the bed but it wasn’t their fault. As I checked out I had an outstanding bill for the one small breakfast I had but they didn’t allow me to pay by my card or bank transfer, I tried every way possible. After 1 hour of stressing over a bowl of cereal the owner kindly said it’s ok so luckily I made my flight. So my opinion it’s good for convenience if you’re flying the next day but not for a long duration."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a wonderful stay at Dara Hotel, Phuket. The location is excellent – very convenient, close to Central Festival shopping mall, and just a short drive to the beach and old town. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable with modern facilities, and I really appreciated the attention to detail in the design. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with directions, recommendations, and transport arrangements. The swimming pool and fitness area were also well maintained, making the stay even more relaxing. Overall, it was a great balance between comfort, convenience, and value for money. I’d definitely recommend Dara Hotel to anyone visiting Phuket, whether for business or leisure, and I look forward to coming back again."

"Here’s a polished review you can post for **Pamookkoo Resort, Kata Beach**: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (4/5) We had a wonderful stay at Pamookkoo Resort. The **swimming pool area is fantastic** — large, clean, and includes a fun **water slide and kids’ play zone** that our child absolutely loved. The **room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable**, and the **staff were friendly and welcoming**, especially the manager who greeted us warmly upon arrival. The **location is close to Kata Beach** (about a 7–8 minute walk), though the hotel itself doesn’t have a sea view. The **buffet breakfast was good**, but the menu was the same on both mornings of our stay. There’s **no halal meat option in the hotel restaurant**, but **halal food is easily available just outside the hotel**, only 2–3 minutes’ walk away. Overall, it’s a great family resort with excellent facilities, especially for kids — we truly **enjoyed the pool area and relaxing atmosphere**. Highly recommended for families visiting Kata Beach."

"Perfect little stay in Patong for a couple. Room wasn’t the biggest and neither was the balcony but room was really nice and well decorated. We had no issues throughout our stay and actually booked an extra night which the hotel were able to accommodate without issue and kept our same room."

"The cleanliness of the resort was excellent—very well maintained and tidy throughout our stay. The location is decent, although not right in the center, so a bit of walking or a short ride is needed to reach the beach and main attractions. Service was average—staff were polite but not always very responsive. Amenities could be better; basic things were available, but nothing special. Overall, it’s a good budget-friendly option for couples who want a quiet stay without too many frills."

"The hotel boasts a pleasant environment, complete with lush greenery and a swimming pool. Our room was very spacious and came with a balcony, though it seemed to be connected to the adjacent room, so I never actually used it. The daily breakfast offered some variety and was always sufficient. The sea is just across the road, and there are convenience stores, massage parlors, and other amenities nearby, making the location very convenient. A minor downside was that the room's soundproofing wasn't particularly good. On my second night, I could distinctly hear the repeated sounds of the neighboring room's door opening, closing, and card key swipes in the middle of the night. Despite this, overall, it was still a good stay! The next time I visit Rawai, I would be happy to stay here again."

"This resort has a beautiful pool area, and the front desk staff are friendly and helpful. It has decent facilities but they are in need of maintenance and repair. We were there during the wet season and the ceiling in the restaurant leaked in several places, soaking the chairs. They placed towels on the floor at the entrance to wipe off your feet every morning but didn’t change them all day, so they were usually waterlogged and filthy. There is a movie theatre for the kids, which is lovely, but the screen is a white tarpaulin which is too reflective, making it hard to watch. Breakfast is okay, but the bread is often stale, the fruit was not very fresh, and the coffee in the urn was just instant coffee. You can order proper coffee (cappuccino, espresso, etc) from the ice cream shop next to the restaurant area, and we discovered upon checkout that they didn’t charge us for this, but included it in the breakfast, which was great! But because they don’t advertise this, and because the ice cream shop appears closed until 10:00, most guests suffer through with instant coffee, not knowing there are other options. There are several bar areas where you should be able to order snacks and drinks and exchange towels, but they were never staffed, and it was hard to find anyone to help. There was an incident one night with an electrical fire at 3 AM and the staff who cleaned up the mess in front of our rooms did so with loud shouting conversations for over an hour, while pushing water loudly across the floor with shovels. The next morning, instead of offering an apology, the manager greeted us by asking when we were leaving, which seemed an odd and unprofessional way to initiate a conversation about guest satisfaction. The rooms smelled musty and dank, and housekeeping didn’t regularly clean the rooms and change towels, unless we specifically asked them to. They usually came to check the rooms in the evening when we were already getting into bed. The beach is beautiful but it is across the road and reaching it requires walking through an unattractive garbage-strewn field. There are lifeguards and they did a good job marking safe areas to swim, but the beach is not ideal for young children as there is a strong undertow. The kids loved the slides and the pool and overall we had a good stay, but unless this hotel receives some upgrading and better maintenance, we would not stay here again."

"I liked the hotel and the area was nice (less tourist area). My only complaint is that it took the cleaning service until after 6 pm to clean my room. Very inconvenient time when you're returning from tours at the same time."

"The location is perfect as usual. This is our second stay here. The only complaint this time is the housekeeper was VERY rude and dismissive to us. A glass accidentally broke in our room and we wanted to tell her before she cleaned the room and her attitude was horrible. Otherwise the rest of the staff was very nice and polite. Food was great. View from the room was amazing"
