Spa Hotels in Phuket

"This is my second time staying at this hotel. It's a wonderful hotel. The rooms are spacious, there's a clothes dryer on the balcony, and the cleaning and service are excellent. Everyone at the front desk is polite, friendly, and helpful. They explain everything and assist with any issues. In the evenings, there's live music, which is lovely to listen to while relaxing in the lobby or by the pool. Thank you for your hospitality! 😍"

"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!"

"Amazing stay! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful from check-in to check-out. The room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable, and everything was well organized. Great location and excellent service. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended!"

"Chanakarn Resort Rawai s worth for it's money and the quality of the stay is equivalent to a 5 star hotel. There is a public swimming pool right outside of the room and the service is amazing. Will definitely recommend international travellers to this resort."

"This hotel is an absolute gem! It's just a few minutes' drive from the airport. We only stayed for one night as a layover, but we were really impressed. The beach is right across the road; while the sand quality isn't as good as Karon or Kata, it's perfectly fine for kids to play and dig. The hotel has a tranquil atmosphere with many towering banyan trees, giving it a real vacation vibe as you walk around. There's also a children's pool that's big enough for kids to enjoy. Right next to the hotel, you'll find a 7-Eleven, massage shops, a supermarket, and a pharmacy, and there are plenty of convenient dining options. If you're coming for a proper vacation, I wouldn't recommend the room type I stayed in, as it's by a small road and can be a bit noisy with passing motorbikes. Instead, booking a room in the middle of the hotel would be excellent and really enhance the holiday feel. The downsides are still the poor water quality, so a filtered shower head is needed, the pool is a bit small, and there are quite a few mosquitoes, so definitely bring plenty of insect repellent. Recommended!"

"If you're staying in the annex building, be careful of the long, steep slope. We saw a guest's luggage slide down from there and hit someone. Please make sure to store your personal belongings safely in your room. Other than that, everything else was good, and the pool was great. The room was spacious enough too. Just remember to run the bath water first to make sure there's no yellow discoloration."

"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!"

"Much better than I expected! It doesn't have that old, dated feel that some older hotels do. The area right outside the hotel is very lively and bustling. I stayed in a deluxe room with a balcony, and I could even see the sea! The surroundings are vibrant but not too noisy. Kata Beach is just a short walk away, where I even learned to surf. The hotel environment is excellent, very clean, and the service attitude is fantastic!"

"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."

"We stayed at the hotel for 4 days between location changes. What a wonderful hotel! The staff at the reception were very pleasant, as were the cleaning staff. Our room was cleaned immaculately every day, and both shower and beach towels were changed daily. They provided 2 bottles of water every day, even if the previous ones hadn't been consumed. The room has everything you need: air conditioning, a TV, a tea set, a kettle, a refrigerator, umbrellas, a safe, an electronic clock, and an insect repellent. The bathroom is fully stocked with toiletries: shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, dental kits, cotton pads/swabs, and shower caps. The pool isn't deep, but it's very clean (it's cleaned every morning). Around the pool, there are sun loungers, umbrellas, and plenty of trees, so you can find shade and cool off even on the hottest days. There aren't many people by the pool, so you're sure to get some relaxation! The location is quite convenient. Just around the corner from the hotel, you'll find a 7/11, a currency exchange, and massage services. The beach is about a 10-minute walk, but be prepared for many boats in the water, ready to take you to nearby islands. However, the Thais aren't pushy, and the boats don't cause any discomfort. If you prefer, you can take a taxi to a more secluded beach where there are no boats, but you can rent kayaks and go snorkeling. We highly recommend this hotel to everyone; we will definitely be back!"
