10 Resorts in Phuket: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 3, 2023 Alice Mieles

Thailand’s largest island is an international magnet for beach lovers and serious divers, who enthusiastically submerge themselves in the Andaman Sea. Blue lagoons and salmon sunsets make for a dream-like atmosphere, and indeed, a vacation here can feel a bit surreal. Watersports are the most popular activities, though once you’ve had enough sun there’s still plenty to explore at the island’s aquariums, gardens, and Buddhist temples.

Amari Phuket

We’re located on a secluded part of Patong Beach; your own private paradise overlooking an inviting turquoise sea that could have been custom made for snorkeling. To add sparkle to your stay, we’re close to Jungcelon Shopping and Central malls and only a short drive from Phuket Town, for when you need a change of pace. We’re also just as close to Phuket FantaSea, a family-friendly theme park offering a variety of Thai entertainment, extravagant shopping and Las Vegas-style shows. Be sure to pick up some colourful gifts while you are there, for your friends and loved ones back home. Our spaces have been thoughtfully designed for that comforting home-from-home experience, but with the stunning seascape from your bay windows or private balcony taking centre stage. We’ve added touches to the décor to showcase modern Thai craftsmanship at every turn – a contemporary re-imagining of the traditional Thai home. Floor-to-ceiling windows brighten our rooms and suites with natural daylight and, as you can imagine, the views to wake up to are simply breathtaking. Our luxury Ocean Wing suites take elegance to the next level, with living and dining areas overlooking the bay. We can’t wait till you get here and experience it for yourself.

So restful with amazing sunsets and staff

Reviewed By Pamela S

We have just spent 8 relaxing nights at Amari Phuket. Our stay was in the Ocean Wing directly next to the Clubhouse, the staff, Bulbul, Micki and team made our stay so special. They were attentive to our needs and always with a minimum of fuss. The infinity pool is amazing with panoramic views over Patong and beyond. After 2.5years of no travel, this was certainly a wonderful experience for myself and husband. Special mention to Maam (front desk) who went out of her way to ensure our room was suitable for my husband who has mobility issues at times, yes you might have to be a mountain goat however, the destination is well worth the effort. The restaurants Rim Talay and La Gritta didn’t disappoint. Congratulations to the team who appear to have survived the pandemic with flying colours, well worth staying at this hotel.

Great staff but average service

Reviewed By Expat-Passport

So I recently visited this hotel and stayed there for 5 nights. The staff is really good however I felt the service of the hotel was average. Like the food options were limited, the buffets were not great. They do not have all day dinning so if you have kids and they get hungry then can be a problem. The location and view of the hotel is good. You can get quite a few taxis from the outside of the hotel to Patong and it takes only 10 mins by taxi and around 20 mins walk to the Patong street. They have a great pool and pool bar. They managed to extend my checkout time as well as my flight was late in the night. Overall the experience was ok but I think they have a little work to do on their F&B section.

Great location! Helpful staff! Fantastic swimming pools with jacuzzi. Good beach activities when the tide is high. We were given a room on 3rd floor of Building 4, which perhaps has the best ocean view. Great value for money! "Curry Nights" restaurant right across the resort is a God-Send for Indian Vegetarians.

Amazing experiene

Reviewed By L9281HLjenniferc

Hubby and I booked our 10 night stay with Mandarava through Luxury Escapes and stayed an additional 2 days. We had the most amazing stay at Mandarava. The staff there were amazing and so helpful. Duke made our check in very easy (even at 10pm), Judi was helpful in our wish to upgrade our room and Mr Beer makes the most amazing Mango Daquiri's! We first stayed in a Panoramic Deluxe room for two nights and the last 10 nights in a Sea Pearl Private Pool Access room. Both were amazing in their own way. The surroundings are lush and tropical, the air even smells sweet thanks to all the flowering plants. It is about a 10 minute walk to the beach but the lush surrounds of the jungle outweighs the beach being a small distance away. Yes, there is a bit of up/down hill to get to rooms, pool, restaurant - but the team is always very helpful and ready to give you a ride to your room from the reception area. You can also call them to request a pick up from your room if the downhill walk is not your forte. It's a pretty fun ride in a tuk tuk type vehicle. The pools are amazing and very well kept. They are beautiful and the perfect depth/temperature. There are pool towels available and lots of sun lounges to choose from. The restaurant had a great buffet breakfast with a pancake/waffle station, soup station, hot foods, omelet bar, cereal, toast and pastry, and fruit section. The view from the restaurant is quite lovely. We had two very relaxing massages (thank you Apple and team). We also enjoyed the floating brekkie and afternoon tea which we took in our private pool access. Definitely a worthwhile experience. I highly recommend Mandarava for you next stay in Phuket. We are definitely planning on booking there again. It is a very beautiful and relaxing place to be.

This place is magical. It is a home away from home for me now; it is a haven of tranquility, exceptional customer service, fantastic food, inspirational sunset, and, my personal favorite, unmatched-exceptional staff. I won't write a book on how great this place is, but if you are in the process of choosing hotels in Phuket, go for The Surin, don't think. It is exquisite. I just came back (June 2022) from a two-week stay, and I'll be honest, I did everything possible to delay or miss my flight, but unfortunately, destiny won, and I had to leave. But I will be back for sure, and not once. Highly recommend it for all age groups, celebrations, and people that want to bring tranquility back to their lives. Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions.
