Romantic Hotels in Phuket

"Dara Hotel is a value hotel that is well worth the cost! The breakfast was the best aspect followed by the pool and seating area. The rooms are basic but spacious. We struggled getting Grabs but you can hail street taxis/ tuck tuck easily enough. The shopping center nearby is excellent and a 5-10 minute walk. It’s a couple of miles away from the Old Town and Weekend Market."

"I chose the room type with the largest balcony. From the outside, other rooms' balconies were only half the size of ours. The view was absolutely stunning, overlooking the outdoor breakfast area, lush green lawns, sandy beach, and the ocean. The room itself was also very spacious, featuring a small bay window and a coffee table. The air conditioning worked perfectly, cooling down the room quickly. Breakfast was quite substantial too. You could walk directly from the hotel to the beach. Overall, I was very satisfied. If I ever visit Kata Beach again, I would definitely choose this hotel."

"We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The ocean view was breathtaking and the entire place was spotless. We loved the restaurant’s delicious dishes—every meal was a treat—and the swimming pool was just the cherry on top. Every member of the staff was so friendly, thoughtful, and genuinely helpful—it made our stay even more special. Totally 100% satisfied and already dreaming of our next visit."

"Staying here for the Christmas holiday was such a pleasant surprise! It's super close to Rawai Beach, just a few minutes' walk away, so it's perfect for a beach vacation – definitely go for it. Even during the peak Christmas season, the price was very reasonable, much cheaper than similar places nearby, offering excellent value for money. Here are the standout features: 1. Two fantastic swimming pools – perfect for lounging in the sun and swimming, truly enhancing the holiday vibe. 2. Breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options, a great start to the day. 3. It's run by Chinese owners! The front desk staff speak Chinese, making communication seamless and hassle-free. 4. Daily cleaning was impeccable, with no need for tips, making for a relaxed and comfortable stay. 5. Many international tourists stay here, creating a laid-back and pleasant atmosphere. There really weren't any noticeable downsides. If you're on a budget and want easy access to the beach, choose this place – you won't regret it!"

"We absolutely LOVED this hotel!! The food was insanely delicious — oh my goodness! In-room dining was tasty and affordable. The hotel is Muslim-friendly, very clean, and the staff were extremely kind and helpful. Getting a Grab was super easy. Whatever you need, just ask — the hotel staff will gladly help. We truly loved our stay and will definitely come back. Very family-friendly and honestly… PERFECT!! ❤️"

"I had a great stay at this hotel and would definitely recommend it. The location is very convenient, close to many attractions, restaurants, and public transportation. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The bed was very comfortable, and the amenities provided were more than enough for a pleasant stay. Housekeeping did a great job every day. The staff were friendly, polite, and always willing to help. Check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient, which made the experience even better. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money. I really enjoyed my stay and would happily come back again in the future"

"The staff were friendly, the locations were great and spectacular. The room booked was exactly like the picture posted not to mention the view from the balcony was really amazing. Highly recommended for couples who wanted more privacy and worth the price."

"Great hotel and fantastic location! Short walk away from Kata but still quite a lot of stores close by such as 7/11 right next door and a good dispensary across the road if you want to partake in the greenery. Pool room is a MUST if you enjoy using the pool though as the hotel doesn't have a sunlounge reserving policy so I observed many people putting towels on them ones around the main pool early in the morning. The only slight negatives were that I personally didn't rate the breakfast much, however it was passable, and I found it a bit odd that the pool is closed at 7pm."

"**Patong Bay Hill Resort Review** *Stay Period: August 13-17, 2025* *Rating: 4/5 stars* My family and I recently spent four nights at Patong Bay Hill Resort with friends, and overall, it proved to be a pleasant hillside retreat with both strengths and minor limitations. **Accommodation & Location** We booked a pool access sea view room, which was impressively spacious. The bedroom comfortably accommodated our family of three, while the separate hall area could easily house an additional couple. The elevated location provides excellent panoramic views and delivers an authentic Thai local resort atmosphere that many guests will appreciate. **Service & Amenities** The staff consistently demonstrated exceptional hospitality throughout our stay. Room service operates until 11 PM, with housekeeping available 24 hours - a thoughtful touch for families. One pleasant surprise was discovering the resort spans multiple buildings across different elevations. For guests who prefer not to walk extensively, the resort provides complimentary 24-hour shuttle service between buildings and to the reception area. Transportation to Patong Beach (1.5-2 km away) is conveniently provided via free shuttle service until 11 PM, with Bangla Road just another 200-300 meters beyond the beach. **Dining Experience** The resort offers decent food quality, though options lean toward local cuisine. While vegetarians seeking Indian dishes may find limited choices, both egg-eaters and non-vegetarians will find ample variety. We particularly enjoyed the chicken delight pizza, which had a charming homemade quality reminiscent of early Asian pizza establishments. **Physical Considerations** The hillside location naturally involves considerable walking and elevation changes. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate this as excellent natural exercise for cardiovascular health and stamina building. However, guests with mobility concerns should be aware of the terrain. **Recommendation** Patong Bay Hill Resort suits families seeking a hillside location with scenic views while maintaining proximity to Patong's attractions. The combination of attentive service, spacious accommodations, and convenient transportation makes it a solid choice, particularly for those who enjoy a more secluded resort feeling without sacrificing accessibility to local amenities. *Best suited for: Families, fitness enthusiasts, guests seeking authentic Thai resort experience*"

"The owner is Chinese. My child accidentally broke a glass table in the villa area, and we had to pay 1000🐷, not a penny less. I thought it was too expensive. However, when my husband cut his foot on glass while swimming in the pool, the owner showed no concern whatsoever, even suggesting it couldn't have been a problem with the pool. I feel this attitude significantly diminished our stay, especially considering it was over 1500 baht a night. We had no choice but to move upstairs for the second night because the hotel was fully booked during peak season. Families with children should be very careful about the balcony railings and tiled sofas. The railings are very wide, and a child could easily fall through. The sofa is right next to the railing, so extreme caution is needed when playing there; you can't let your guard down for a second and must keep a close eye on your kids. There's a seafood market nearby, which is convenient for getting seafood cooked. We went twice, costing about 200 baht per person, and the food was decent. It takes an hour to get to the airport and 30 minutes to Phuket Old Town. The location doesn't feel great, being at the very end of the island. Everything is quite expensive and far away to get to! **Hotel downsides:** The water pressure is low, and it takes ages for the hot water to come; it's cold for a long time, then suddenly scalding, and if you turn it to the middle, it gets cold again 😟. The room facilities are a bit old. The latex pillows are too high; I'm used to flatter pillows and barely slept all night. Personally, I don't like mirrors facing the bed. **Upsides:** The breakfast is more Chinese-style. Communication with the owner was smooth. The fifth floor gets good sunlight and offers a distant sea view, which is great for drying clothes. There are two washing machines on the first floor, but you need to bring your own detergent. Overall, I feel the quality doesn't match the price. I'd rate it 3 stars!"
