Phuket Hotels

Hi guys,

From the posts it looks like some of the best value guest friendly hotels R amata, R Mar. And Summer Breeze. I'm just wondering are these all close to the bar action or on the other side of the island far away? I looked one up and Google maps said it was on the other side of Soi 6. Just wondering what the best hotel is near the action and what side of the island is best to stay in and bar crawl in?

Has anyone stayed a are Mar. Resort, is it still guest friendly?

Last time stayed at Amata resort. Booked via agoda for around 1200 bht. Like the hotel because of the swimming pools, decent rooms with not that much noise from outside but only 10 minutes walk to Bangla road and beach. Hotel is guest friendly and surrounded by massage parlours and opposite Christine's massage.

Stayed here recently. Remains guest friendly. First lady is free. Second is 500 baht.

Do take care when booking. Some do not have external windows. That really messes with my body clock.

Anybody know anything about Bann sukhothai hotel and spa, location look awesome but not really seeing any reviews on it! Has nice pool and looks good but wonder if girl friendly, anyone ever stay their? I did search and shows nothing about!

Thanks.

Baan Sukothai charges 1000 Baht for joiners.

Is there a pool there?

They don't list anything about this under services. So I think the answer is no but the beach is really close. No need for pool!

I stayed one week in Patong Tower.

Rented an appartment with 2 bedrooms (I was with my buddy) with sea view.

I really wonder how come these appartments are never mentionned in this forum. They are really a gem!

They are ideally located: 3 mn walk from beach and from Bangla Rd.

Plenty of small good restaurants at the foot of the tower, with all day breakfast.

Cleaning service + towels (and beach towels) and blankets provided and changed every day for 500 THB / day.

Is there a pool there?

Pattong towers is full.

Are you sure? I never found it sold out, except maybe for Christmas / new year.

Crest Resort & Pool Villas near Patong is not guest friendly. Can't even pay them to allow girls in. Told me that "only checked in guests can enter". Beware.

Pattong towers is full. ANyone knows if The Charm resort allows a girl for free? Place looks good.

Seabreeze hotel looks dull for my taste.

Thanks in advance.

Mr G,

I can highly recommend RR Mar and confirm it is guest friendly. No charge, just have to sign in a guest. Great hotel, firm comfortable bed, excellent pool, short walk to Bangla but off the main stretch in a quieter area, Only gripes would be ability to hear next door sometimes and water from the shower ending up all over the bathroom floor, but that's manageable.

Overall was really good value and I would stay again.

Sup,

I wish the summer breeze hotel had a pool.

Yo, anyone been to the are Mar. Resort or white sands with a trip report? I think they are both guest friendly.

Will be in Patong for my first time in 2 weeks.

Newbie.

Thanks Mr G.

Hi!

I will come to Phuket soon (first time for me) and I look for a guest friendly hotel in old Phuket: walking distance from Katherine massage.

Do you know some?

Thanks,

Dave

Gents,

I can highly recommend the summer breeze near Bangla Road if you are planning a stay in Patong. It is located in Soi Saen Sabai which is an extension of Bangla Rd (the end away from the beach) - you are literally 2 minutes walk from the start of Bangla Rd. The standard rooms are good value (890 TBH in the low season. I stayed here in June for a few nights and just walked in and got an "off the street" special price of 700 TBH per night). Unlike a lot of other hotels in the area there is no extra charge for bringing a girl back and there are no restrictions on how long a girl can stay. I brought one back about 4 am this morning and she left at midday. One night I brought 2 girls back at different times, no questions asked.

The hotel has a nice little restaurant and bar and very friendly staff. The rooms are clean and have all the necessities (comfortable king sized beds, air con, fans. Hot shower, safe, fast WiFi). An added bonus is the Bangla Rd working girls park their scooters out the front from 6 pm onwards which makes for interesting viewing while sipping a beer.

The place probably gets booked out in high season so you will probably want to book ahead. The prices increase by 50% in high season (March, April, Nov) and double in peak season (Dec-Feb). In my opinion Low season (May-Oct) is a good time to visit Phuket if your main aim is getting laid as prices for everything are much cheaper and the bars and working girls are less busy (bargains to be had! The downside is this is the rainy season so not so great for hitting the beaches.

Hi guys,

I am visiting Phuket in Spring and like the look of The Expat Hotel. I will be looking to bring in a 'friend' a couple of times and while I have found them on one GF list (on an obscure list) it is rarely mentioned on most sites. Any experiences lads?
