★★★★ 8.6 (1,285 reviews)

"Stayed here many times now. Not a 5 star hotel but it's great for me as it is close to everything you want. My preference is not to buy breakfast but to go out and find somewhere else to eat. The pool is great with a swim up bar. Rooms are clean and l like to stay in the Royal Wing that has a good view of the pool from your own balcony."

"Beyond Patong — Excellent stay right at Patong Beach We stayed at Beyond Patong for 5 nights and had a great experience overall. Location: 10/10 The hotel is right at Patong Beach. You step out and you’re basically on the sand. Being this close to the beach saved us so much time. There’s also a 7-Eleven directly opposite the hotel, which was perfect for late night snacks, water, and essentials. Rooms: 10/10 The rooms are spacious and very clean. Housekeeping did a great job daily. All the amenities you’d expect were there: AC, safe, TV, good WiFi, and toiletries. The bed was comfortable and we slept well even with the beach nearby. The property itself is well maintained, from the lobby to the corridors. Facilities: 10/10 The highlight is the rooftop infinity pool. Great views of Patong and the Andaman Sea, especially at sunset. Pool area was clean and not too crowded. Staff & Service: 10/10 Staff was genuinely helpful. Check in was smooth, and they were quick with requests. You can tell the team is well trained. Overall If you want a clean, spacious, well maintained hotel steps from Patong Beach with a killer infinity pool and helpful staff, Beyond Patong is a solid choice. The 7-Eleven across the street is a bonus you’ll use more than you think. Would definitely stay again. Rating: 5/5"

★★★★ 8.8 (507 reviews)

"Room was disgusting when we arrived - dirty towels, bugs, blocked toilet. We had to keep chasing the manager to get us moved to a different room. When we finally got moved, the new room was also dirty. The manager sent someone to "deep clean" but this was a light wipe over at most - the sink tap was still dirty, there were ***** hairs on the toilet seat and next to the toilet on the floor, and handprints/finger prints from the previous guests on the toilet and shower doors. After complaining again, rather than being looked after for the poor service and state of the rooms we'd been in for the first 2 days, we were completely ignored. Everytime we went to reception to follow up with the manager, she wasnt there and we were told she would contact us which she didnt. When we finally caught her at reception on day 3 of our 1 week stay, she told us she'd spoke with hotel owner and that theres nothing they can do besides say sorry, and are not willing to do anything to make up for the poor experience we'd had up until that point. To then dig themselves a further hole, the manager then decided to tell me that when the cleaners changed the towels in our room that morning, there was some makeup on a towel and it couldnt be washed, and if this continued they would charge the cost of this to the holding deposit they had on our card. Never in any hotel have i been told a little makeup on a towel is an issue, nor that it cant be washed, and we are frequent travellers. Both my husband and I realised that this was a blackmail tactic, in order to stop us raising further complaints about the disgusting state of the room. Do not stay here, what is portrayed as a chic, clean, aesthetically pleasing boutique hotel, is everything but that. Rude, ignorant dismissive staff, most unprofessional hotel manager i've ever encountered. Photos attached, unable to upload videos to show how bad it really was, but the photos are just a glimpse of what we experienced."

Seaside Naithon Phuket

Seaside Naithon Phuket

📍 28/40 Moo 4, Sakhu, Thalang, Phuket

Sugar Marina Hotel - Nautical - Kata Beach

Sugar Marina Hotel - Nautical - Kata Beach

📍 Kata-Sai Yuan Rd, Mueang Phuket, Phuket
★★★★ 8.9 (198 reviews)

"I am a student coming from University of Nevada Las Vegas, preparing launching a survey on my journey this time as part of my portfolio. However, I had a bad fever before checking in. Thanks to C-trip employee who helped me to negotiate with the hotel manager, I regret to say the manager refused to refund on coin to me due to my reservation is unrefundable. However, I booked 5 days with 300 US dollars, at which point I negotiated to refund a part of my money, and it was denied. This is an awful experience, and this hotel is not human-oriented but purely profit-oriented. From my personal experience, it is extremely under my expectation for its unnegotiable attitudes. It will be as part of my research report"

"The rooms are spotless, exactly as presented. The maids are excellent. The cortiard type grounds are beautifully maintained and the koy karps in the pond and artificial stream under the room's balconies just underscores the Chinese influence, to whom the hotel mainly caters to. Breakfast if tasty but mainly oriented onto the Chinese clients. Location is perfect for Rawai and is very close to the pier from where most of the south-bound boat trips depart from. The pier is also right next to the famous Rawai Seafood Market, where I enjoyed several excellent meals. Would stay here again anytime."

"The room we stayed in was exactly like in the pictures, and our balcony faced the pool. The bed was very big and comfortable, and the breakfast was good enough with bread, cheese, coffee, eggs, cake, fruits, little pancakes, and also some Thai options. The beach is very close and it was beautiful during December, no waves, clear water looked like a pool also a lot of shade from the trees. There are pharmacies, one convenient store, some restaurants nearby etc. The staff is nice and kind, but dont expect them to give you tips where to go, eat etc. It is important to know the deposit has to be paid in cash, there are ATMs nearby, but we were not expecting it that is why I am mentioning in the review."
