Spa hotels in Phuket

"The hotel's location is pretty good, right in the lively area of Nai Yang Beach, close to the national park side. You step right out the door onto the beach. There are plenty of supermarkets and snack stalls nearby, though Nai Yang Beach is really just for relaxing – there's not much else to see or do. The hotel itself is full of greenery, which is quite beautiful, and it has several swimming pools. My room had a balcony right overlooking a pool. As for the facilities, they're just okay, but the bedding was clean. I think if you choose this hotel, you should opt for a slightly more expensive room type; the cheaper ones are in buildings further from the main pool area, and both the room type and the view will be a bit less desirable. I found the bathroom door opening inwards to be impractical, and their cleaning service wasn't great – the floor was still dirty every day with quite a lot of sand and mud. There were absolutely no Chinese guests at the hotel; 99% were Russian. The staff's attitude towards Chinese guests was quite indifferent, in my opinion. I stayed for three days, and while there wasn't overt discrimination, not a single person smiled at me, whereas they were very enthusiastic with the Russians. The hotel is really close to the airport, a 5-minute drive."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The location was perfect, with easy access to restaurants, beaches, and local attractions. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!"

"Facilities: This was our first time bringing our child to Phuket. We initially booked The Emerald in Karon, but then I read reviews saying that while it was new, the pool felt a bit cramped between the two buildings. So, I checked out more reviews and decisively switched to the established Old Phuket Karon Beach Resort, which has a more resort-like vibe! It boasts a super large pool water park, and there's even a dedicated children's area with a small water slide 🛝 for toddlers, which is fantastic! Cleanliness: As an older five-star hotel, the decor is a bit dated, so the rooms feel a little old, but overall cleanliness is quite good. There were no issues with small animals or anything like that, unlike some online reviews suggested. Environment: As always, I've attached pictures; beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Service: The front desk service was excellent. We booked island hopping tours daily, and they picked us up at the front desk each day. On the first day, I was unfamiliar with the area and worried about finding the driver, so a staff member proactively helped us check our itinerary and contacted the driver via phone to clarify things in Thai! Thumbs up! One more thing I absolutely must mention: The Old Phuket Karon Beach Resort's location is arguably the most convenient in the Karon area. Right outside, there's a small commercial street with massage parlors, fruit stalls, Thai food, and seafood – everything you could want! Plus, turn right out of the hotel and walk just 30 meters, and you're at the stunning Karon Beach in minutes. There's also a 🚌 bus stop right outside that goes to Phuket Town, which is much more convenient than Centara Karon Resort Phuket!"

"Wonderful hotel and room with a private pool! We'd love to come back again! The room entrance is on the 7th and 8th floors. There are two rooms facing different directions, each with its own shower. There's also a shower in the pool area and another on the 2nd floor in the dining room. Robes, rubber slippers, umbrellas, and dishes are provided. There are drying racks for clothes on the balcony. It's a bit inconvenient that the TVs aren't connected to the internet."

"”Staying at this hotel was an absolute pleasure. The room was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and beautifully arranged, offering a stunning view from the window. The staff were remarkably polite, friendly, and quick to assist with any request, leaving a wonderful impression. The breakfast featured a wide variety of delicious, fresh options. Everything from the bedding to the Wi-Fi and bathroom amenities was top quality. I highly recommend this place to family and friends. Will definitely return again!”"

"100 meters from Karon Beach, an affordable place averaging 90 per person, and two major traps to avoid! I dug up a real gem of a value-for-money hotel near Karon Beach in Phuket, and I absolutely have to recommend it to budget travelers! First, the price: only 180 a night! In China, you'd only get a budget hotel for that price, but here you're right in the beach walking circle. I stayed in building #4, and the room was spotlessly clean, no damp, musty smell, and the bedding was fresh, so I slept very soundly. The best part – it's only 100 meters to the beach! Just change into your swimwear, stroll over, and you're in the water. When you're tired of playing, you can come back anytime for a shower, it's so convenient. The coconut tree at the end of my video is the beach itself. If you want to be even closer, you can ask if buildings #1 or #2 are available, but they might be a bit noisier as they're closer to the road. Breakfast is a buffet, and while it's not a lavish five-star spread, the flavors are authentic and delicious, especially the Thai fried noodles. It tastes just like what you'd get from a street food stall, saving you the cost of a meal. Picture 2 with the bread shows the breakfast spread. Deposit: The front desk requires a 1000 baht cash deposit. When checking out, they're super efficient – they inspect the room and refund it instantly, which is a big plus. Surroundings: There's a 7-Eleven within 200 meters. There's a massage parlor downstairs, but I didn't go. You can always buy water and snacks at 7-Eleven. There are several small eateries nearby; I went to 'The Grand,' a family-run place, and ate there two nights in a row (pictures included). There's a coin laundry next to building #4 downstairs. You'll need coins, and you can buy detergent from the machine, but it's more expensive than 7-Eleven, so I recommend buying it there. ⚠️ But! Here are the major traps to avoid! Trap 1: The private convenience store downstairs – four times the price! I'd been buying things at 7-Eleven for seven or eight days in Thailand. That day, for laundry, I didn't have coins and went to the private store downstairs for convenience. The result? A 2-liter bottle of the same brand mineral water that costs 14 baht outside was 15 baht for 500ml there, a quadruple markup! Absolutely outrageous. Trap 2: Amber Restaurant downstairs – possibly fake reviews! Initially, I saw a high rating on Dazhong Dianping (a Chinese review site) and thought about trying it. But when I got there, I found it was full of Chinese tourists, and they even had group buying deals! As everyone knows, which local Thai restaurant would use Dazhong Dianping for group deals? I suspected the scores were faked, so I decided not to eat there. Everyone should assess it for themselves. On a side note, regarding the coin laundry downstairs I mentioned earlier, it costs 50-60 baht per wash. If you don't have coins, you can exchange them directly at the machine or ask the front desk for help. Absolutely do NOT go to that rip-off store to get change! There are more Chinese and Russian tourists staying here. The staff can generally communicate in English, and ordering food by gesturing is perfectly fine. In a nutshell: For 180 baht, what more could you ask for? Just go for it! But keep your hands in your pockets and stay away from those two places downstairs!"

"The hotel's location is unbeatable. It's a four-minute walk to Pub Street, six minutes to Jungceylon Shopping Center, and seven minutes to Central Patong. All the dining, entertainment, and shopping you could want are right nearby. The best part is that self-drivers get free parking, which is fantastic! The breakfast is plentiful, and the service is excellent. The only downside is that the main building, especially floor 23, is incredibly noisy. A friendly tip: definitely avoid rooms ending in 01, 03, 05, or 07 – the noise will keep you up all night. Don't expect to get any sleep before 3:30 AM!"

"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."

"This hotel is truly reasonably priced compared to other hotels, has a great atmosphere, and the service is excellent. The breakfast is delicious, and the atmosphere is fantastic. There's a pool and a gym, and all the facilities are clean and well-maintained, making for a very comfortable stay. Furthermore, I was happy that I could use the hotel's showers after spending time on the beach and even after checking out. I was truly impressed by the hotel's hospitality. I would recommend this hotel to anyone."
