This was my second time staying at Patong Bay Hill Resort, and once again it did not disappoint. I stayed here with my girlfriend, and we had a wonderful experience throughout our trip. The resort offers a peaceful atmosphere away from the busy streets of Patong while still being close enough to all the attractions, restaurants, and nightlife. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a beautiful view that made our stay even more enjoyable. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist whenever needed. One of the things I love most about this resort is the relaxing environment. Whether it was spending time by the pool, enjoying the scenery, or simply unwinding in the room with my girlfriend, everything felt perfect. The resort is ideal for couples looking for a romantic and comfortable getaway in Phuket. Returning for a second stay was definitely the right choice, and I would gladly stay here again in the future. Thank you, Patong Bay Hill Resort, for another memorable holiday experience. Highly recommended for couples, families, and anyone looking for a relaxing stay in Patong.

We stayed near here for a summer camp. The room was backlit, damp, and generally okay. However, we asked for hangers for 9 days and never got a single one! Friday night was incredibly noisy, it felt like there was a party right above our heads! On Saturday, we had an early start for a day trip, so we were forced to stay up late... That day was truly terrible. We called the front desk multiple times, but it was useless.

The room is quite spacious, and the pool is also large, offering a good amount of private space. What I liked most was having a sofa in the room where I could cast shows, and the kitchen came equipped with utensils, a microwave, and a fridge, making simple cooking perfectly feasible. However, this place has fewer public facilities and no beach. Although it's close to Patong Beach, the area is quite bustling with lots of people, which isn't ideal if you're looking for a relaxing stay. On the plus side, it's very close to Jungceylon, within walking distance.

Mai Kao Beach Phuket|16.48km dari pusat bandar
I had a very pleasant stay at Splash Beach Resort a few days ago, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. I was warmly welcomed by May, a lovely and polite lady who took the time to explain the resort facilities and everything I needed to know. And believe me, with a resort this huge, a proper briefing is definitely appreciated! 😄 What impressed me most was the cleanliness of the room, including the bathroom. Everything was well maintained, clean and comfortable, which made my stay genuinely relaxing. My room faced a small back lane with some greenery and village surroundings—not exactly a glamorous sea view, but peaceful enough and certainly not something that affected my stay. The staff, in general, were polite, respectful and helpful, even when there was a language barrier. Kudos to them for maintaining good service with a smile. There was, however, one small hiccup during breakfast at Sunset Breeze Restaurant. On my first morning, I requested two boiled eggs. The chef’s response and facial expression made a rather simple request feel like I had just asked him to prepare a five-course breakfast! 😅 He mentioned that the eggs would take longer, which I completely understood, but the rather unfriendly expression was unnecessary. As the restaurant is not halal-certified, my breakfast choices were already somewhat limited, so having boiled eggs was one of the simpler options available to me. What made the experience more noticeable was the contrast in his demeanour—he appeared much more cheerful and engaging when interacting with some European/Western guests. I wouldn’t want to assume his intention, but as a guest, it did leave me with an uncomfortable impression. I also noticed that the restaurant staff did not make the same effort to offer coffee or check on me as they did with some other guests. It was a small thing, but these little gestures can make a difference in how welcome a guest feels. Thankfully, this was only a minor blemish in an otherwise excellent stay. One important tip: this is a huge resort, so you will definitely appreciate the buggy service when moving around the property. And if you’re coming specifically for the Splash Water Park, do check beforehand, the water park was undergoing its annual maintenance during the low season when I visited. Overall, I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The cleanliness, courteous staff, beautiful surroundings and overall resort experience certainly made it worthwhile. With just a little more consistency in the warmth of service towards every guest, the experience could have been even better. A big resort, a lot to explore—and thankfully, plenty of buggies to save our feet! 😄

It's very close to Rawai Beach, with a 7-Eleven and sea-view restaurants right outside. Now for the downsides: 1. No clothes rack in the room, so no way to wash and dry clothes. 2. The hotel doesn't offer breakfast. 3. For a family of three, there's an extra charge of 150 THB for the child, but no extra bed is provided. 4. I subtly got the feeling that Chinese guests aren't particularly welcome. This is just my personal feeling and for reference only.

Pros: The jungle view room is essentially a private villa, offering excellent privacy with a beautiful tropical rainforest view. The hotel provides direct access to the beach, and it's also conveniently located for shopping and strolling outside. Cons: Aside from a creatively designed but otherwise rather ordinary pool, the hotel practically lacks any other amenities or services. You can sit by the pool, but no one offers you a glass of iced water or a towel. For a hotel costing 1300 RMB a night, this is a significant drawback. Compared to many other Southeast Asian hotels I've stayed at in the same price range, this one performs poorly; there are many hotels with better value for money at this price point and location. To put it simply, this hotel has almost no supporting services. Breakfast isn't even served in the cliffside restaurant, which would better showcase the hotel's advantages, as it has been converted into a bar. The complimentary breakfast at the Red Chopsticks restaurant by the entrance was very mediocre, and I only ate there once.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Amazing Stay at Sofitel Krabi We have had the most wonderful stay at Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Resort. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome, and the whole experience has been absolutely fantastic. The resort itself is beautiful — peaceful, luxurious and surrounded by stunning scenery. The grounds are immaculate, the swimming pool is incredible, and there is such a relaxing atmosphere throughout the entire hotel. It really feels like a true escape. The staff deserve a special mention. Everyone we have encountered has been incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive, always greeting us with a smile and going out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The service has genuinely made such a difference. Our room was lovely, comfortable and spacious, and the whole resort is exceptionally clean and well maintained. There is a real attention to detail that you would expect from Sofitel. The breakfast is also excellent, with a great choice of food and something for everyone. However, there were not many vegetarian options available, so it would be wonderful to see a wider selection of vegetarian dishes. This is only a small point, though, and certainly didn’t spoil our stay. Overall, we have absolutely loved our time here. Sofitel Krabi is a beautiful resort with wonderful staff, excellent facilities and a genuinely relaxing atmosphere. We would happily return and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a special stay in Krabi.

At high tide, the sea laps at the pine trees, and at low tide, the beach expands to a remarkable 200 meters wide. The sunsets and evening glow are simply mesmerizing. The beach is shaded by towering pine trees, where we sometimes spotted squirrels playing. There's also a rocky area on the beach, perfect for exploring at low tide. We found palm-sized swimming crabs and white sea cucumbers, and even tiny lionfish. A quick search on my phone (Doubao) revealed they were venomous – luckily, we didn't touch them! 😅 The hotel also features a mangrove forest, a lawn, and a lotus pond, where we frequently encountered large monitor lizards and troops of monkeys.

The environment is good, and the location is excellent, right by the beach. If you turn right and walk about 100 meters, there's a small massage shop called OSCAR that's super good, cheap, and comfortable. It's also very close to the night market. The service was just okay, probably due to the slow-paced nature of the Thais. It took forever to check in, even though there weren't many people. The hotel only provides two bottles of water in the room, and you have to pay for more. Breakfast is mediocre and the same every day; there's absolutely no variety. I stayed for three days and ate the exact same thing for all three. The pool is decent. Special note: There are three Holiday hotels nearby. This one is called ”Holiday” without ”Inn” at the end, otherwise the driver might get confused.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The family room with two queen-size beds was not spacious. There was no room to place our four suitcases, except on the floor. A major disappointment was the outdated bedding, which had holes in it. I had one pillowcase replaced, but later saw tears/frays at the bottom of the sheet at the foot end and on the bath mat. I also saw a stain on the duvet cover. You should expect good bath and bed linen in any hotel. Therefore, I find the value for money to be insufficient. The air conditioning worked well but made a lot of noise. The large unit was on the balcony, and every time it turned on and off, you could hear it very clearly through the windows. Furthermore, our daughters had an unpleasant experience at the swimming pool. Many Indian guests with a Muslim background were staying at the hotel. In the pool, you mainly saw ladies and girls in long swimwear (burkinis). Our girls were sunbathing by the pool and felt very stared at by some men. One of them was on a FaceTime call and turned precisely so that the girls were in view. They also saw him talking and looking at them. This was the first and last time they used the swimming pool. The hotel's location is excellent. It's close to the boulevard with shops, the beach, many restaurants, massage and nail salons, laundromats, etc. A 7-Eleven is right next to the hotel's back exit. You can book tours at one of the many tourist agencies available. All in all, for the reasons mentioned above, we would not recommend this hotel.

Great location with panoramic view of the Railay West Beach from the pleasant pool side and the restaurant where breakfast is served. The spa is right next to the pool and can receive service while overlooking the view. All hotel staffs are very nice and attentive. It was also a good surprise that the snacks and soft drinks in the room were free. The hotel is just a 10 minutes walk away to the beautiful Phra Nang Beach which is a must go. The pier to join the island tours is a door step away from the hotel lobby. The additional pick-up and drop-off service from/to the airport was very smooth while it involved car ride and long tail boat ride. I would definitely come back for my next Railay trip!

Cons: - They only give one key. When you leave the room and take the key, the air conditioning stops working, so we returned to a hot room after being out in the heat. - The advertised bathrobes and slippers were missing. When requested, they brought reusable, smelly slippers and dirty bathrobes that reeked of dampness and mildew, as if they had been worn before. - The breakfast was not tasty. - Overall, the service was terrible. - The hotel is old, the room was dirty, and the bed felt damp, like sleeping in a wet bed, which was very unpleasant. - The furniture was dirty. - The air conditioner was very noisy, roaring like a broken engine from a large machine, but it did cool well. Pros: - The beach, sun loungers, and beach area were accessible. - The concierge who escorted us to the room and helped with our luggage (polite, hardworking, and responsive). - Soft pillows. - The hotel's location; everything you need is nearby. The hotel is not a 4-star; it feels like it has no stars at all.

Overall, it was excellent. The staff were all very friendly, and the breakfast was abundant. The poolside restaurant by the sea consistently served great food with a variety of flavors. The room was clean and well-maintained. We had a wonderful time with our child, enjoying the food and activities. Minor details didn't bother us at all.

Good location in front of sea , The breakfast is very good and plentiful. Luggage storage is available. The villa is clean, spacious, and well-equipped with many amenities. The disappointing part is that they do not respond to emails. I had requested to use their car and shuttle service, but my message was never read or addressed. I booked through Trip.com, which forwarded my request directly to the hotel.

If you can, and if you have time to read this review before, I don’t know if I would recommend booking this hotel, especially if you’re planning on having the breakfast there. The breakfast was not an amazing experience as every other reviewer would say the only thing about this hotel would actually be the view if you want to book this hotel hopefully you do book the one that is next to the Mountain View‘s on the fifth floor that is what you want, but do not book the breakfast because you will not have for your money. Other than that, I would say well located there’s a tour person that is very insistent next to the lobby, but everything was great.
