Luxury Hotels in Phuket, Thailand

The Good: Location is great if you want to be close to the big Mall with lots of options to eat and shop etc and the windows are good that you don't hear noises form outside. The Bad: Staff don't seem to be very friendly or knowledgeable for Thailand standard. They can be slow and put me on a smoking room that smelled bad. Breakfast is also just OK compared with others in Asia. Rooms seem a bit outdated but fine after I moved out of the smoking room.

Amazing stay at Indigo Pearl. Great architecture and design touches -- truly industrial chic. Modernly elegant without trying too hard, really. And of course, that's just the exterior. Add in great service (always with a smile and a hello), wonderful facilities (how many gyms have chandeliers?), and a beach to relax on conveniently nearby and you've got a perfect resort for your holiday getaways. Additional reasons to head to Indigo Pearl (now!): delicious food, comfortable beds, wireless Internet in the rooms (free in lobby + the restaurant), and it's close to the Phuket airport (I don't like having to sit 45 min to go to your hotel). Rooms: very spacious -- I stayed in a Pearl Bed Suite complete with a walk-in closet, outdoor bath and luxurious king size bed. If I didn't have to actually do work while I was there, I could've slept all day. Only gripe I could have was that I don't know if I would've wanted to pay so much for a Kelly Quarters (the smaller normal rooms), but I'm sure if given the option again I would. Food: must try - Black Ginger. Their local Thai restaurant with great authentic Thai flavors -- you can ask for adjusted spiciness according to your westernized or local taste. Tin Mine is always a solid selection as well. Breakfast buffets there were always outstanding with eggs to order, good selection of local fruits, and a perfect mix of Asian and Western options. Again, great stay at a great resort. Definitely suits the western crowd, although younger generation Asians would definitely enjoy this place as well. It just doesn't try too hard to be hip and chic like some pretentious resorts or New York hotels -- it just is.

Beautiful large hotel within walking distance to the beach. Loved the breakfast buffet and the fact that the hotel was not over-crowded. If it had been...not sure you would notice. Laid out nicely! Never got in to swim in the pool but it did look amazing!

Stayed here around Christmas and loved our room. It was spacious, modern, and had a great view of the bay. The staff was friendly and their English skills were adequate, despite some minor confusions. The resort is beautiful but the land it's on is not the best of what Phuket has to offer. The beach is small and the water is not as blue and pristine as in other parts of the island. It's also a fairly long drive out to the nicer beaches, plus you get charged a premium since you're getting picked up by a taxi at a nice hotel. There's an abundance of things to do if you just want to stay in the resort. There's multiple pools, non-motorized sports equipments, and a relaxing spa. I took advantage of a massage that was included in my reservation and it was lovely. I had dinner at EEST and it was delicious, but it was followed by a not so great dinner at Seasonal Tastes. The accommodation is great, but I wouldn't want to spend all my time at the resort since there's so much other places to explore and see on the island.

I loved every minute of this resort. The breakfast package is worth it, they had a wonder spread. I played tennis with the staff and had a blast. I swammed daily in the pool, because the sea was a bit rough in the off season of Jul. I like the off season, not to many folks. The rooms are spacious and gorgeous, my only complaint is that you have to keep it cold to keep the humidity out. The pictures on the website tell the truth.
