Spa Hotels in Phuket

We chose the Renaissance Phuket for our summer family 'lie-flat' vacation. The pros: new facilities, clean and tidy, five-star service, and good restaurant food. The breakfast was also excellent, with a chocolate fondue for the kids. The hotel has its own private beach and a Starbucks. While its location is north of the airport, getting to the city center can be quite expensive. However, the hotel offers a free shuttle to the nearby Turtle Village, which has a commercial area with restaurants and a 7-Eleven. The local Pizza Company there is also delicious. For families with kids, you can book an elephant sanctuary online, which includes pick-up and drop-off. If you have a bigger budget, you can also opt for the Nemo dolphin show and swimming with dolphins, but that dolphin attraction is in southern Phuket, which is quite a distance! In summary: the hotel is new, clean, and well-designed. If you're looking to relax and unwind, definitely go for it. The last picture was taken after we checked out.

The overall view is absolutely stunning, and the private balcony in the suite is also very spacious. You'll be amazed the moment you step into the room. However, the hotel truly has some critical flaws: First, after taking the elevator to the sixth floor, you have to walk quite a distance to reach the room. The suites are on the eighth floor, where there's no elevator, making every trip out of the hotel a long walk. Second, at night, large geckos crawl all over the hallways, which is really terrifying. One even fell in front of me when I was walking out to dinner. There were also geckos in the room, making me scared to sleep. Calling staff to catch a gecko at 10 PM was quite a unique experience. Third, the throw pillows on the balcony were extensively moldy and hadn't been replaced, even though this is the best room type… Fourth, the front desk service was completely cold and felt purely procedural. This doesn't meet the standards of a luxury hotel. However, other staff I encountered, like the beach butler, had very good attitudes.

The staff here are all very friendly and extremely enthusiastic. We especially appreciate Rach's proactive and friendly service. Although the lobby is a bit far from the rooms and we had to call the front desk every time we went out or came back, the shuttle service arrived very quickly and never delayed us. Even when we returned late, there were always staff members on standby to drive us back to our room immediately. The hotel provides shuttle services to and from the Old Town and Central Festival. It would be even better if we could take the shuttle to the Old Town and then be picked up from Central Festival on the return trip. The room was spacious, clean, and the air conditioning was excellent, though the water pressure was a bit weak. The hotel environment is quiet and peaceful, making it a perfect place to relax. I would definitely want to stay at this hotel again!

I booked a one-bedroom villa, and after visiting and comparing several units, I truly believe Villa #68 is the absolute best among the one-bedroom options! The layout and size are optimal! The villa boasts a generous 550 sqm, offering huge space and a comfortable layout. It comes with a private pool that directly connects to the beach, making both privacy and the views impeccable. The amenities are also comprehensive: a sauna, indoor and outdoor dual showers, and an outdoor bathtub, instantly delivering a complete resort feel and comfort. The hotel itself has a very natural, ecological island vibe. We saw lizards several times on the villa rooftop and by the pool. At first, it was a bit scary, but they are actually very docile and completely non-aggressive – a rather unique wilderness experience. Breakfast was just okay, nothing special. The service was excellent throughout; all staff members were enthusiastic, friendly, meticulous, and attentive. A special shout-out to Liam, who provided dedicated service from start to finish, always responsive, patiently helping us arrange all our needs with professionalism and warmth! However, there are a few objective points that deduct from the overall score: Firstly, the hotel's landscaping and gardening are rather ordinary compared to other resorts in the same category. Most of the public areas are sandy, with sparse and poorly maintained plants, making them generally not photo-worthy. Secondly, the in-room facilities are a bit dated, especially the bathroom. The quality of the fixtures and sanitary ware like the toilet and showerhead feels quite common, which doesn't quite match the Luxury Collection brand positioning. Getting to the island involves a bit of a journey, from the airport to the pier and then a speedboat transfer, but it feels worth it upon arrival. If you're looking for an extra-large private villa, private pool, direct beach access, and excellent service, this place is still highly recommended. However, if you are sensitive to the public area landscaping and the newness of indoor hardware, you might want to do a bit more research.

The hotel indeed has very few Chinese guests, but they were still quite friendly towards us. I'm not sure if it was because they initially messed up my name, or for some other reason, but they upgraded us from a family room to a suite, which was large and beautiful. We were very satisfied with our stay, and there was an ocean view right outside the window. The hotel environment is nice, but the breakfast is just average. It's not too far or too close to Jungceylon and the seafood market, about a 20-minute walk, but taxis are quite expensive. The only downside is that it's too noisy at night; you can hear all the sounds from the road and the bars, and the soundproofing is a bit poor.

My family and I stayed at La Green Hotel for two months, and it was a wonderful experience! The hotel completely met and even exceeded our expectations. From the very first day, the staff greeted us warmly and made us feel like family. A huge thank you especially to Maxim, the Russian-speaking manager at the reception – he helped us with absolutely everything: from check-in and daily practicalities to advice on local places and transportation. Thanks to him, we quickly adapted and felt right at home. When our daughter fell ill, the hotel thoughtfully brought chicken broth to our room. And for our daughter's birthday, the hotel beautifully decorated the room and brought a basket of fruits and a cake as a gift. This was especially valuable when being so far away from home. The rooms are clean, cozy, and regularly cleaned. Everything you need is there: air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a washing machine, and a comfortable bed. The grounds are green and well-maintained – the hotel's name perfectly matches the atmosphere: lots of plants, quiet, peaceful, a true oasis. I want to specifically highlight the breakfasts – always fresh, delicious, and varied. There are Asian dishes, as well as familiar European options: eggs, toast, fruit, and coffee. It's a great start to the day, especially when you're staying for a long time and want a proper breakfast instead of having to search for a café in the morning. The location is excellent: there are several cafes nearby, a 7/11 store where you can buy everything you need, and the beach is not far, with a shuttle taking you there every 30 minutes. At the same time, there's no noise or hustle and bustle – ideal for a long stay. Over two months, I didn't encounter a single serious problem. The value for money is top-notch. I will definitely come back here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and peaceful place in Phuket. Thank you, La Green, and personally Maxim, for an unforgettable time! 🙏💚

Facilities: The hotel's infinity pool is excellent with beautiful views. The sunset at CASA BOHO restaurant is absolutely stunning, but you can't see the sun completely set as the mountains block it. If you want to see the full sunset, you'll need to go to Patong Beach, Kata Beach, or Karon Beach. The service and dishes at the sunset restaurant are very refined and fresh, and relatively cheaper compared to Western restaurants in China. Cleanliness: The room hygiene is very good. It's cleaned very thoroughly every day. They emphasize environmental protection here, so if you want your sheets, duvet covers, and towels changed daily, you need to specifically inform the front desk! Otherwise, they might not be replaced daily; they'll still dry and fold them for you. Service: Hyatt's service is very attentive. You basically never need to carry your own luggage; they'll always help you move it. Because the hotel is built on a hill, you need to take an electric buggy to get to various locations (restaurants, rooms, spa, pool, lobby). The buggies are on-call and arrive quickly, which is a great experience. Environment: The hotel also has a semi-private sunset beach area, located just across the road from the hotel facing the sea. At low tide, around 3-4 PM, you'll see many small fish, shrimp, and crabs in the shallows. There's a specially constructed path in the sea built by the hotel, perfect for taking photos and enjoying the scenery. You are not allowed to pick up or harm any marine animals; it's illegal in Thailand! Just quietly take photos and observe. You'll see small mantis shrimp, starfish, sea cucumbers, and various other fish! It's wonderful!

We booked a pool-view room, and it was great. The layout and design were very good. Although it's not huge at just over 40 square meters, it was quite comfortable for two adults and one child. The front desk and concierge staff were all very polite and had warm smiles. The breakfast spread was extensive and served until 11 am, which really added to the holiday vibe. There weren't many Chinese guests. My husband commented that at breakfast, you could see people of different skin tones, confirming that the hotel was indeed full of international guests. To be honest, the pool isn't huge, but it was perfectly adequate for the kids to play in for two days. There's also a small sandpit next to the pool. The biggest surprise was the kids' club! It even had a ball pit and tons of toys. Our child's favorite place each day wasn't the pool, but the kids' club. The staff there were very responsible; they'd confirm with parents whether each child was allowed to leave on their own when entering, and required a sign-in and sign-out every time, which made us feel very secure. Free bicycles were also provided, so you could cycle to 7-Eleven for supplies. Of course, there were some downsides. The beach waves were indeed quite strong, so you could only splash around by the shore. It's also true that it's far from town; 7-Eleven isn't within walking distance. To get around, you either need a taxi or a bicycle. There are also wild massage parlors next to the hotel beach offering massages for 500 baht an hour, as well as two Thai restaurants. They're more expensive than outside but cheaper than the hotel, and the food was decent.

Spectacular views of the sea from the rooms make this resort a winner for feelings of peace and solitude. My room included a ceiling fan and a separate rain shower next to the bath tub. A massive free breakfast buffet starts the day for most guests, with changing options on a daily basis. Before breakfast I walked down the steep driveway to the private beach to swim either in the sea or the small pool next to it. At 7 am there is nobody around. One morning I took out a kayak (one hour free) which had stunning panoramic views. There are two swimming pools by the resort’s main building and both are delightful for swimming and relaxing. Nothing much to do in the evening and the TV channel selection could be expanded with movie channels (e.g., HBO, Cinemax), educational channels like Discovery Asia, and nature channels like BBC Earth and Love Nature. I partook in a 90 minute herbal pack massage which was a bit pricy but very professional. Both lunch and dinner menus have sufficient variety of dishes and food quality was good. Staff were always helpful. In summary, Supalai Scenic Bay Resort is a wonderfully serene experience at a very reasonable room price.          

Overall, I had a pleasant stay at Sunset Beach Resort. The facilities are a bit dated, but they are well maintained, which I truly appreciate. You can tell the resort takes good care of what it has. The location is generally fine, though the beach directly in front of the resort isn’t the best. Patong Beach is about a 300+ meter walk away, which is manageable, just something to note for guests who expect a beachfront swimming spot. The only part that slightly affected our experience was the shuttle service — not a big issue, but a memorable one. On 1 February, around 5:30 PM, we informed the front desk that we needed the 6:30 PM shuttle to Bangla Street. We even confirmed it twice and were told to sit and wait, as the staff would notify us when the shuttle arrived. We made sure they knew exactly where we were waiting. By 7:00 PM, after no update, we went back to the front desk only to be told that the shuttle had already left. The staff apologized and admitted she had overlooked us, and arranged the next shuttle. Nothing serious — just an unexpected extra 30 minutes of “resort relaxation time” we hadn’t planned for. 😊 Still, aside from this hiccup, the stay was comfortable, and with a bit more attention to shuttle coordination, the experience would be even better.
