Phuket Hotels - Jamie's Recommendations

Posted on 19:46 by Unknown
On the Phuket Blog, I've made some reviews over the years of recommended hotels on the 3 main beaches (Patong, Karon and Kata) and also hotels which are away from the crowds in quieter areas of Phuket. Yes, there are lots of quiet areas .. it's kind of the main point of this blog to show that there's more to Phuket than just a few busy beaches! Phuket is a big island (bigger than most people realise), and it's worth spending some time to research the best hotels and the right location for you. I've been living in Phuket since 1999, so I hope the Phuket hotel information on this blog should be useful :) Feel free to leave comments or ask questions about hotels on this page or on the Phuket Blog Facebook Page.

Phuket Hotels - Where to book online?

I recommend looking for information and to check for available Phuket hotels at Agoda.com. The rates are the best (so they say), the choice is wide, there are thousands of hotel reviews and the website is very easy to use. I use it myself for our holiday hotel bookings. Agoda also has a rewards program - bookings and reviews earn you points which add up to discounts on future bookings. Only if you book a hotel through Agoda can you leave a review, so I trust these reviews more than TripAdvisor.

Some hotels are on more that one of the lists above. I tend to update the Top 10 now and then. And they're not all expensive 5 star resorts - quite a mix of styles and budgets. These pages are a good place to start looking if you want a top rated hotel!

Phuket Town

Not next to the beach, but if you want a taste of the real Phuket or want to see some of Phuket's biggest festivals, or like a bit of history and culture, then Phuket Town is worth a look for a hotel - maybe not for your whole holiday, but for a bit of balance. I like Phuket Town .. actually it's my favourite part of Phuket!

Khao Lak Hotels

While Khao Lak is not part of Phuket (it's in Phang Nga province), it's not far away, about 70km north of Phuket airport, which is the nearest airport to Khao Lak, so basically we can consider Khao Lak hotels as being part of "greater" Phuket, since the whole region is serviced by Phuket Airport. Khao Lak is very quiet, there are a lot of very nice hotels on the beach, there is very little in the way of nightlife, a good place to just relax. It's also within easy reach of Khao Sok national park and Phang Nga Bay.

More Phuket hotel suggestions to be blogged as time goes by... Please note that this is a blog, and some of the hotel reviews were made years ago - things can change. For most hotels you can find hundreds of guest reviews at the Agoda site, made by people who have stayed at these hotels recently, well worth checking the reviews!

This page is of course just a taster for the hotels available in Phuket. I suggest everyone check Agoda.com for hotel reviews and for online booking and lots of information including location maps for all hotels... If you have a question about Phuket hotels, please do add a comment below or ask on my Phuket Blog Facebook Page. I will try to answer! See you in Phuket!
