Find Beach resorts in Phuket

"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!"

"The shower water was inconsistent, alternating between hot and cold, and the temperature couldn't be adjusted. It was also extremely hot, making it easy to get scalded. The furniture is primarily made of wood, and our room had termites, with some visible wood erosion. **Key Features** * **Location:** Situated in the heart of Patong Beach, within walking distance of the beach and Bangla Road nightlife. * **Design:** Interior decor features ocean wave elements. * **Rooms:** 161 clean and comfortable rooms and suites, offering bathrobes, slippers, and Wi-Fi. * **Services:** * **Facilities:** Rooftop pool, gym, bar. --- ⭐ **Guest Reviews** * **Pros:** * Excellent staff service. * Rooms were more spacious than expected and well-equipped. * Convenient location, ideal for those who enjoy nightlife. * Reasonable price, great value for money. * **Potential Cons:** * Located in the lively Patong area, so there might be noise at night. * Not suitable for guests seeking a quiet getaway."

"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!"

"The hotel offers great value for money, with its biggest advantage being its beachfront location – just cross the road and you're at the sea. The breakfast restaurant boasts beautiful views, directly facing the beach. Breakfast is a decent buffet, a mix of Thai and Western dishes. The hotel has a public swimming pool and a gym, but no laundry facilities. The overall style is Thai-inspired, and the rooms are cleaned daily, always fresh and tidy, making for a comfortable stay. The shower pressure is also good. They provide two glass bottles of water daily, which are reusable and cannot be taken with you, which was a bit odd and inconvenient. There was also no bar soap. Overall, for this price, the accommodation is excellent. Very good value for money!"

"I was extremely satisfied with this trip. I chose the Orchid Hotel because of its location and the big waterslide, though my expectations weren't very high initially. I'd seen some reviews mentioning the hotel being damp and moldy, but I figured that for the 300-400 baht price point, it would be acceptable. I requested a high-floor, sunny room on Trip.com. I booked two rooms, and since our flight arrived late, we didn't get to the hotel until midnight. The two rooms were in different buildings, quite far apart. At first, I wasn't happy and considered asking to switch to closer rooms the next day. However, the hotel upgraded one of my standard rooms to a pool-view room, directly facing the big waterslide. My child loved it and didn't want to move, so we just made do. I stayed on the third floor of building 1. While the room wasn't brand new, it wasn't as old or damp as some reviews suggested. When I entered, the air conditioning was on. I'm not sure if it was because I'd noted my concern about dampness causing my child to get a rash, but the hotel clearly made an effort regarding customer satisfaction. As for people saying the breakfast wasn't good or that there weren't many Chinese people, I think that's subjective. My whole family found the food quite acceptable; it was typical buffet fare. The small restaurant next door was convenient for lunch and dinner. The location was great, only a few hundred meters' walk from Karon Beach. The kids had an absolute blast on the pool slide, and my two-year-old even learned to swim in the shallow pool! A truly commendable point is that it was my eldest son's birthday on the 22nd. Without any prior notification from me, the hotel decorated our room for his birthday. We were out at sea all day, and when we returned to the room that evening, we found it meticulously cleaned. The hotel had fashioned adorable little elephants from towels, adorned with fresh flowers, and left a birthday card. Both the kids and adults were amazed! My son was overjoyed. It was his first tenth birthday, and his first time receiving birthday wishes from a hotel. I have to say, for a seaside hotel in Phuket, an old establishment like the Orchid, at such a great value, making this kind of effort – I am extremely satisfied. If I ever go to Phuket again, I will definitely stay here. This is not a paid review; it's a completely genuine and objective assessment, for your reference."

"The hotel is right by the beach, just a few steps away. In the morning, you can open the window to see and hear the sound of the waves. The hotel doesn't have an elevator, but don't worry, the staff here are very enthusiastic and friendly. They'll help you carry your luggage up to your room, and when you check out, they'll help you bring it down to the front desk as well."

"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!"

"I highly recommend this hotel! Its location is excellent, right by the airport link, just a five-minute walk to the stop. It's also very close to the beach, just across the road, and the views are absolutely stunning. The room is spacious and even has a balcony. The bedding is very clean, and they clean the room daily. The hotel boasts a super long swimming pool. For around 200 baht, it's incredible value for money. Breakfast is just okay, but there are plenty of 7-Elevens and restaurants nearby. The deposit is 3000 Thai Baht. The only minor downsides were some footsteps from upstairs and music/singing from outside at night, which could be a bit noisy. Otherwise, it was absolutely perfect, and I'll definitely be back!"

"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 hotel's environment and hygiene are generally good, provided you get a good room type. If it's just a lower-priced room, quality might not be guaranteed. The two women at the front desk weren't very proficient in either Chinese or English. Front desk and bellhop service were mediocre, but the security guards were diligent. If the booking price is reasonable, these issues might be acceptable. I suggest checking low-rated reviews before booking; if you can live with the mentioned problems, then go ahead and reserve, as you're likely to encounter them. There are many Chinese guests, which might be why the hotel service feels dismissive. After dark, an entire building full of Chinese guests and their children were making a lot of noise. At check-out time around noon, the lobby was even louder with so many Chinese guests gathered."
