I did some research beforehand, so I had a general idea of the room layout. However, I was surprised that the hotel didn't replace the disposable slippers daily; they weren't changed once during my 4-night stay. There were no toiletries for kids either, which is really disappointing for a family-friendly hotel. On the bright side, the private beach is beautiful, and my kids absolutely loved the pool, spending all their time in the water. The hotel is a bit far from the city center, and even the nearest 7-Eleven requires transportation to get to.

A modest hotel with an interior leaning towards a loft style. The rooms are clean. There's a shady pool with a waterfall on the premises, perfect for escaping the daytime heat. The waterfall is rarely turned on.
Attention! The rooms might not match the photos on trp.com! I booked a standard room without a balcony, but was given a room on the first floor with a balcony. However, the balcony was like Korolenko's in ”Children of the Underground” – half below street level and completely covered by a banner. In essence, you get neither a balcony nor a proper window, plus the lighting is dim, so the room is perpetually dark. They initially refused to change the room immediately, offering to switch it the next day for an extra charge. I declined, promising to mention the room discrepancy in my review. In the end, they upgraded me to a better room with a balcony on the 6th floor for free.

This hotel is incredibly inconvenient. Although there's a shuttle that goes down the mountain, it runs infrequently and requires a reservation. After 10 PM, there's a charge to take the shuttle back up. What's absolutely unacceptable is that after checking out, I wanted to take the hotel shuttle down the mountain, but they told me I couldn't because I had luggage. It's really hard to get a taxi up there because the road up the mountain is incredibly steep. Many drivers don't want to go up. I tried to explain to the hotel that it's difficult to get a taxi, and I wanted to take their shuttle down. They refused, just because I had luggage. It seems like it's okay to take the shuttle down if you're still staying, but not if you've checked out. I've attached the hotel shuttle timetable for everyone's reference. It's also very far from the beach; you need to take the shuttle down to Patong Beach. Dining options are also inconvenient. The rooms are quite spacious, and the pool is clean. The breakfast also doesn't have Chinese food anymore, unlike what older reviews mentioned; it's almost entirely geared towards foreigners.

The room is comfortable overall, with a balcony and a shower with a strong water flow, which is particularly good. I describe it as a crazy shower, haha. The hygiene and cleaning are in place and clean. I think the breakfast category is not rich, and I hope it can be improved. Another thing is that the front desk staff is not very enthusiastic, and there are not many Chinese people. I didn't feel any discrimination, maybe compared with the previous hotel with Chinese courtesy. The front desk of the previous hotel was so enthusiastic that we kept tipping. There was no impulse to tip this time, but we were willing to tip the staff who accompanied us to the room and helped us to get to the room. They knew some Chinese. No one else we met knew Chinese. Since your hotel is now planning to do Chinese business, it is recommended to increase Chinese services. I saw in the previous comments that there is a free car to the beach, but we need to pay when we inquired at the front desk. It is convenient to use Grab to take a taxi. It costs 300 baht to take a tuk-tuk from Patong Night Market. For the room, swimming pool, and environment, I am willing to stay again, but I am not willing to stay again for the service. If you like a lively family trip, it is not recommended. If you like a quiet vacation, you can recommend staying with good English.

The room is very spacious with a beautiful view. The entire hotel is built on a mountain, so getting around isn't easy, but they do offer a shuttle service to the town below. Plus, there's a 7-Eleven right outside, which is super convenient. The cleanliness was a bit lacking, though; I found sand in the room upon check-in for some reason. All the staff, however, were very warm and attentive.

I stayed here with three friends. The room was new, clean, spacious, and very comfortable. At one point, the humidity became unbearable, so we informed the staff. They promptly checked the air conditioning, and the humidity quickly subsided, which was a huge relief. Overall, the staff were incredibly polite, kind, and welcoming!
Basic amenities like toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower caps, and cotton swabs were provided. However, the shampoo and body soap didn't lather well, so I'd recommend bringing your own. The hairdryer was powerful enough, and the outlets were compatible with Japanese plugs, so no adapter was needed. Towels and complimentary bottled water were replaced daily.
My only minor concern was some cleanliness issues around the shower and toilet areas. I wish the cleaning extended to these finer details. Perhaps due to the high humidity, the bedding also felt increasingly damp each day.
Separate towels and bath towels are provided for the pool, so generally, there are enough towels. The location is good; it's a bit further from the city center, requiring a short walk, but it's much quieter than the bustling central area, so noise was minimal. They even provided earplugs for everyone in the room. I think it offers good value for money!

This room offers great value for money, and the best part is you can smoke on the balcony! A real treat for smokers! It's one of the few hotels near Patong Beach with a rooftop pool and a nice view. There's a lady at the front desk named Pan Peiling who speaks Chinese and provides excellent service. On my second day, I was worried about getting a taxi to the airport, so she helped me book one the night before. I'd heard it's hard to get a taxi here, so having a local connection really made a difference.

Pros:
1. The pool is clean and a reasonable depth, suitable for both adults and children.
2. The environment is elegant and quite tidy. The decor is a bit old-fashioned but grand.
Cons:
1. The balcony faces the street, so it's extremely noisy, with motorbikes roaring past. The balcony glass door doesn't block out the sound at all, and the curtains don't seal well.
2. The electrical appliances are old. The air conditioner is particularly loud and takes about 5 minutes to cool down.
3. The bathroom exhaust fan causes odors to come back from the drain, and the wooden window frame has mold.
Major complaints:
1. We arrived at 1 AM, and there's a long flight of stairs at the hotel entrance! The front desk staff didn't offer help proactively and only assisted with luggage after we asked.
2. The hotel only provides a fixed number of bottled water (e.g., for three of us, only three bottles were given). When I called the front desk later that night to ask for three more bottles, I was refused. The staff said that if the room had been cleaned and water replenished that day, they wouldn't provide more. I've never encountered such a situation in my previous travels; it seems a bit excessively stingy.

This hotel is simply wonderful! It has a beautiful view from the window, lovely sunsets in the evening, and a perfect location – everything is nearby. There's even an entrance to 7-Eleven directly from the pool area. In the evenings, food stalls gather outside the hotel with a variety of food. The beach isn't crowded, and the water is clean in the mornings. The rooms are fresh and cozy. Housekeeping is thorough, not just in the rooms but throughout the entire hotel property. The staff are genuinely welcoming, smiling, engaging, and helpful. They speak English well. Special thanks to the charming and responsive staff members, Kwang and Natt! 🌹

AAnonymous UserThe resort isn't very big, a rectangular area, and the villa section takes up a significant portion, so there's limited space for activities. BUT! There's a beautiful, uncrowded beach, haha! The coastline is very long, which is a huge plus.
The rooms seem to have been renovated; they're a mix of new and old. For instance, some of the bathroom fixtures are clearly old, but the doors, windows, and furniture look new. At the very least, the grout and wall seams have been redone and look pristine. The air conditioning is incredibly efficient, and the room is well-insulated – even after being out with the power off for half the day, it's still chilly when you come back in. The room provides a clothes drying rack on the balcony for dripping wet clothes and swimsuits, which is a thoughtful touch.
However, the BBQ buffet dinner, which costs over 2000 THB per person, doesn't include any basic beverages, only water. The BBQ items are so few you can count them on one finger, non-BBQ items on another finger, and desserts/fruits on a third finger. There were only two or three seafood options. My child is sensitive, so after removing what they couldn't eat, spicy dishes, and disliked flavors, there was almost nothing left! Can you believe we couldn't find two dishes they'd dare to eat from the entire buffet?
The breakfast selection is much richer than the dinner buffet, and it's only a quarter of the price... but the dishes were exactly the same every day. After two days, we started missing 7-Eleven. This isn't some isolated island with supply difficulties; would it be so hard to come up with more rotating menus? Please offer more variety for guests staying multiple nights.

Villa Mint is big and comfortable to stay with friends and family. It even includes snack, fruit and drinks in villa which are complimentary for us to enjoy when we stay by the private pool. Very enjoyable and pleasant! The breakfast at the hotel is a highlight during our stay. It was served in buffet style with egg and noodles station. Although the selection is not super wide, it’s more than enough to enjoy as the quality and the freshness of the food are above average, some of them even exceeded our expectations. Overall, we enjoyed the moment at the hotel so much and we will definitely coming back for vacation again ❤️

LLynnOhThe resort is conveniently located close to Patong Beach. One thing that impressed us most was the strong focus on security. All incoming vehicles are scanned by security guards, and there are also two guards stationed to stop traffic and assist guests crossing the road between the hotel and Patong Beach. This shows that security is taken seriously at the resort.
During our 4-night stay, we noticed that the breakfast menu was largely the same every day, which became repetitive after a few days. The staff also cleared plates very quickly once you finished eating. It felt a bit rushed at times, but we noticed this seemed to be a common practice at many restaurants in Phuket, so it may be part of the local dining culture.
The staff were polite throughout our stay. Housekeeping was excellent and generous in replenishing supplies. We also appreciated the welcome drink upon arrival and the lounge area with snacks available while waiting for our room to be ready.
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, with good service, strong security measures, and a convenient location near Patong Beach.

GGuest UserWe loved the overall experience as a family of four. It was only a short boat ride from Phuket. Although the beach was small, there was a private pool in our villa which we loved. We swam in the private pool when it was sunset. It was so pretty. 
The majority of the staff was also incredibly friendly, with almost every service available 24/7.
Impressed by the friendliness of the staff at Naka Island Hotel. None of them went past us without smiling and greeting us, and almost everyone we met was ready to engage in little conversation to help us settle into the environment. It was so chilled all around, the surroundings and the accommodation, our nerves were rested for a good few days. Beautiful local excursions also available. We went on a little hike to Tad zoo beach which proved to be a little of an adventure because of the 30-min arduous walk for the kids. Once there, not only did we enjoy the beach chilled atmosphere, we got on jet skis with some discounts to the hotel prices too. Upon return to hotel, we jumped into the private pool overlooking the beach at sunset. An amazing experience hard to forget.
Breakfast was exquisite. It had the blend of modern western food and local Thai food. The noodles were delicious, broth was excellent. Got a shoulder and back massage free of charge at the entrance to the veranda restaurant (breakfast restaurant) - knowing how much it would cost, it made my day. Would recommend the Muay Thai to anyone seeking a workout with a touch of Thai culture. The instructor was friendly and funny. He identified my daughter’s talent in the sport. When we go back to HK, I will have another perspective to work on.

SShishinonoOur stay at Cassia Phuket was absolutely amazing! We stayed in the Loft Room, and the view of the lagoon and the beach from our room was simply breathtaking — it felt like waking up in a postcard every morning.
The hotel’s location is perfect, with direct access to both the lagoon and the beach. One of our favorite parts was the complimentary ferry that takes guests across the lagoon to the beach every 20 minutes — such a fun and convenient touch that made getting around effortless.
The atmosphere at Cassia is vibrant and welcoming, and the staff were always friendly, professional, and genuinely happy to help. The modern design of the rooms, the lively community spaces, and the stunning natural surroundings made our stay unforgettable not to forget mentioning pet friendly hotel.
Cassia Phuket truly captures the best of relaxation, style, and island charm!

IIvan KraljEven if it ended with a nice gesture, the receptionist handing me a keychain gift (not sure if they do that with all guests), with a written request to leave 10/10 review, sadly I couldn't ignore the shortcomings of this hostel that seemed like just a downgraded version of Marco Polo Poshtel (not sure which one came first, but from breakfast to ”funny” wall messages, there was a similar ”creative” signature).
While I was initially attracted by reviews mentioning hostel's cleanliness, I couldn't say I shared the same opinion. Certain public areas were quite messy. The staircase to the first floor (where shoes are forbidden) didnt seem to be cleaned for some time. In the showers (which had a good water pressure), there was mold. None of the three handsoap dispensers in the only bathroom had soap in them. It just felt the staff doesnt have time or organizational skills to maintain everything in working order.
But I was mostly surprised by finding a not clean (i dont want to call it ”used”) bed cover in my bed. It had some fresh stains, hair and crumbles (well, not just on bed cover), and seemed just to be folded after the guest before me (even the folding seemed messed up, so i really thought maybe the bed was forgotten). When I asked the housekeeping to change it, they initially approved. The younger housekeeper started changing everything, sheet included (which i believe is a good way to do it, when it is not certain if the bed was completely changed), but when the older one returned, she made her put the sheet back (the sheet that was thrown on the floor in the meantime), laughing all along. No, that wasnt really funny.
Then instead of letting the young housekeeper put on the new bed cover she brought along, i noticed that the older one brought something that seemed to be the same old bed cover that i complained about (the duvet was already inside). When i asked if that is a new thing, she was convincing me it was. Already at that moment, i felt ridiculed. But i said, ”okay, if you say so.”
After all was done, i came back to my bed, unfolded the bed cover and confirmed my doubt - all this performance of changing the bed, without them changing anything! The only difference was that the bedsheet was also on the floor in the meantime.
This got me really frustrated, mostly because they lied to my face (what for?), and mostly because they invested energy in ”changing” everything while actually just stripping everything off and returning it (why? It takes the same amount of energy to do it for real). Feeling like an *****, i asked what seemed to be the problem? Dont they have clean bedding, or what? But they had. I asked them to give it to me then, and i would happily prepare the bed myself. Which they accepted. Lol.
I dont know, with that poor breakfast, the visual mess, unpleasant ”toilet” scent at hostel entrance, and generally low level of cleanliness (you can see how yellow the pillow is once you remove the pillow case yourself), it felt that other reviews mentioning spotless hygiene were misleading. Or were my standards too high?
In any case, i stayed in a dozen of Phuket hostels during my month here, but none of them tried to insult my intelligence. There are better places, and no, Dorm Hostel sadly doesnt deserve 10/10, to quote the request they tell everyone at check-out.
I also tried to leave them space for hostel improvement, so instead of lowest marks, i left average ones, even if the experience was truly below average.
P.S. When a guest asks whether a ferry with a pick-up operates everywhere in Phuket, a genuinely helpful answer would be ”yes”. And not ”no, it's only our hostel's pickup”. I understand everyone just tries to earn money, but it shouldn't be done by misleading guests who just trustfully ask for information.

The hotel was very clean, and the Thai-style gardens and pool were fantastic. Plus, the hotel is right on the beach – just a short walk from our room, which was incredibly convenient. My child loved it so much they didn't want to leave!
The only downside is that there's nothing much outside the hotel; it's a bit isolated. So, if you're looking for a relaxing hotel stay with family fun, this place is perfect. There are a few restaurants by the sea, and the prices are quite reasonable. It's really great! I'd definitely come back if I get the chance.

KKLorraineOverall, it was a very good stay. Orn was nice and accommodating and even helped move me to a higher floor the next day. Berna from the restaurant was also friendly and took the time to chat, which was really nice.
The room was refreshed while I was out during the day, which was great, but it would’ve been helpful to be informed beforehand since my personal belongings were left around.
Just a small note — the bathrobe wasn’t set up initially, and only two pillows were provided for a room meant for two guests, so I had to request extra pillows.

XXiaolian2019We actually stayed here for five consecutive days! It was a very pleasant stay, and I really wanted to write more! The room was spacious and comfortable, and the hygiene was excellent. The owner is Chinese and has been consistently upgrading the linens. The service was attentive; one night, our Indian neighbors were on a loud call at 2:30 AM, and the owner, contacted via WeChat, promptly resolved the issue! The guesthouse environment is very comfortable, with squirrels, cats 🐱, and other small animals! The sea is right outside the door, as is a local night market! The food stalls at the entrance are also affordable and delicious 😋! I loved it! And for only two to three hundred during peak season, the price is unbeatable!!

KKelly8692Pros - it is quite near to Phuket International Airport - around 30-35mins. The Resort is very big, near to the sea and provides free shuttle to Kata & Karon Beach and free Kayaking to the guests. We had the sea view room and the view everyday was great. The location is very far from central/downtown which is why it is very peaceful to stay here. The rooms are slightly outdated, but they are kept very clean so the outdated part doesn't feel much. The staff is also very kind and helpful. Overall its a nice resort to stay for a short while as it is quite far.
Cons - For the 4days we stayed there, we did not like the breakfast as much. The breakfast area and view was very good, but every time we went for breakfast - it was always served cold. No matter we went early or late for breakfast, the food was always cold. There is a lot of variety in breakfast but none of them tasted good because it was always cold or not warm enough. The resort is really very far - around 1hrs 20min from the main tourist areas like Kata, Patong and Karon beach, so if you are planning to travel to these places - plan accordingly. As it is expensive and far to travel back to the resort. Also since it is far - there is no market or small shops nearby the hotel that you can walk up to in the evening. The only choice is to stay at the resort, swimming pool or inside the resort because the road that drives up to the resort is quite steep to walk.
Overall it was a comfortable stay but it was a bit of hassle with the breakfast and travel back to the resort. This is why I am giving 4stars.
