Phuket Hotels with Wi-Fi

The room is big and the bedroom is separated from the living area. The hotel is located on a hill but getting to your rooms is easier as there are internal shuttle service that will take you from the main reception area to the designated block. And conversely, if you want to get to the restaurant for breakfast, you can call the reception and they will sent a vehicle to your block to take you down. There is also a scheduled shuttle service that will take you to Patong, namely the beach and Jungceylon mall. You could walk to the beach and the mall though and it would take you about 20-25mins.

Do not stay! I don’t know how this hotel has got such good reviews. The only things on its side are the staff at the front desk and the cleaning staff. Rooms were very tidy and the design of the hotel is very nice. However, the road noise inside the room is atrocious. I have never in my life stayed somewhere as loud, the balcony lets on so much noise. The shower/bath is extremely odd, there’s a glass window from the bedroom that looks directly into the shower. The shower leaks out onto the bathroom floor no matter what you do to prevent it, so after every shower the bathroom is a wet room. Location isn’t very good compared to so many in Patong, it’s a 20 minute walk at the very least to the beach. It is hilarious what they call a gym as well, really not up to the standard of any other hotel I have stayed in Thailand that had a gym. I give the Marina Phuket Hotel 5/10, terrible sleep due to the noise, terrible bedroom design.

Prior to arriving at this hotel, we had stayed at some nice hotels in Vietnam & Cambodia, which in our view we’re getting better as our trip progressed. That wasn’t the case with the Beachfront hotel. First impressions were ok but we arrived late in the evening, and the receptionist must have been in a rush, as she rhymed off a lot of information in a matter of seconds. Our room, to be fair, wasn’t bad until we looked around. The first thing we noticed, was the toilet seat. It was a small size seat put on a large bowl!! We opted for the sea view room, but it wasn’t until the morning when we looked out the window, that we overlooked a field full of ****s and old tin buildings. Technically, we could see the sea, but really! We had to strain our neck to see it! Then came the beach! What beach? An area at the bottom of the hotel that is covered in sand and has sun beds. They have a bar there, so that saved the day, or did it? We quickly noticed that between the hours of 15:00 - 17:00 & 19:00 - 21:00 were happy hours, where they advertise 2 drinks for the price of 1. That made things better, until we noticed that all drinks on happy hour were nearly double the price. So, a bottle of Chang beer was normally 130 baht, but on happy hour, the same bottle was 250 baht!!!! Rip-off! If you happened to be one of the lucky ones to get the hotel transport to a beach area, some 15 minutes away, you’ve done well. The vehicle can only sit 8 persons, which means, most of the hotel wishing to go to the beach area, needs to order their own transport. Give credit where credits due, the breakfast and food in general is good. Staff in the restaurants are polite and helpful, but less can be said for the reception area. I found them slightly abrupt, ignorant and no patience. If you’re staying here for one or two nights, it’s ok, but anything more, I wouldn’t bother. The one thing that did come out of our trip here, was the menu. As much as the food is good, it was same old, same old, so we went out one night for something different. This lead us to a restaurant called Zen Eat, only about a 5 minute drive in a taxi, which should cost about 200 baht. A fabulous French fusion restaurant that was just amazing. You really have to try.

The reception is basic and run down. Initial thought embrace the jungle theme. The trek to our room was long with many steps, not the picturesque route imagined. We went through a very large run down wooden area, maybe a closed cafe. Initially the room looked perfect from the outside. When they opened the door the smell hit us, like a smoke den. So strong you could taste it. Honestly never been in a room anywhere with such a stench. Requested a move which happened promptly, not a problem. When we got to the next room the outside ashtray had been hidden under the table and the room sprayed with eucalyptus to mask the smoke. We requested to move hotels. Our agent couldn’t get us a move for two days which we agreed to. Hotel refunded agent no problem. The rooms have very dark furniture and are very dark. First night in the room I was bitten everywhere. Spent a month in Thailand and not a single bite. This was ridiculous When we met the agent in reception she commented on how many bites I had, yes from last night. The room was sprayed later that day. All our luggage ( waiting to move hotels) was moved. One bag shoved in a cupboard we didn’t know existed leading us to believe we had lost a bag. The whole experience was a nightmare. Breakfast was ok. Limited selection, cold fried eggs Coffee very good. We were shocked that this was the “rock” restaurant in the night. Thank goodness they didn’t respond to our two booking request months earlier for my hubby’s birthday, It really doesn’t deserve the hype. If you are disabled, have problems walking or children this isn’t the resort for you. Our first room had large pebbles on the floor all around the bath in the middle of the room. Not enough room to walk around them. The second room had a large shelf at the side of the bed, why? You needed to get in and out of the bed half way up to avoid knocking yourself. They did offer free evening meal at a local restaurant that they own. Food and service very good, only plus. We had come from a 5* hotel and this was supposed to be a 4.5* something very wrong with the rating system. Would never return. Hotel we moved to, same rating, fabulous! Booking again.

Had a really nice stay at the hotel. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was well kept, clean with a nice modern design. It has all the standard amenities plus the room and bathroom is really large so that adds to the comfort. The balcony comes with stools and a mini table. The bed was surprisingly comfy and better than most hotels I've stayed at. The only drawback of the room is the air conditioning which I think is too cold and can't be adjusted, but that's not so bad in the hot climate. The location is top notch and within walking distance to the beach and nearby bars, restaurants and shopping mall. There will be a lot of night music and traffic noises nearby so I chose a room facing the pool / garden side and that already cancels out 95% of the noise. I especially enjoyed the rooftop pool and the buffet breakfast.

The staff at the reception are very friendly and treat you warmly during the check in and check out process. The room is very clean, spacious and smells good. housekeeping staff is also very nice and helpful. only this hotel does not provide toiletries such as toothbrushes. maybe upon request. This hotel is also very convenient and close to the shopping mall, Bangla Road and other shops. Will come again to stay here and highly recommend to anyone looking for a hotel to stay. This hotel is the best

My first time on Tripadvisor to share some disappointments about the level of services I received upon check-in at this so called ”5-star” hotel. - I am Thai but live abroad. I came home to Phuket to visit my friends and family and chose to stay here to get a holiday feeling while in my home place. - I drove to the resort myself, and came in right past the security box but no one came out to help guide me to where to park or tell me about the lobby location as the lobby is not in an obvious place. - There's a sign pointing to the lobby but the road is very steep and not an easy drive up - I drove right up to the lobby, jumped off the car and came inside the lobby (still with no human contact up until this point) - At the reception, there were two staff there, with no smiles on their face looking busy counting the money. My friend had to say hi to get their attention. - The check-in process was fast and easy but we were disappointed as there were no cold towels nor welcome drinks provided. (I thought this was something to be expected at a 5-star hotel). - The check-in was done within 2 minutes, and we were provided with a room key card but no other information was provided i.e. breakfast time & location and facilities around the hotel. We had to ask for this information as we walk to our room. - There were 4 bottles of water in the room but they were left out of the fridge so none of them are cold and ready to drink. In the 30+degree heat, cold water is something very common in hotel rooms in my opinion and experience staying in hotels in Thailand. - The bed is big but the mattress is very hard and not comfortable. - We're in the room for the past 40 minutes and the air conditioning does not feel anywhere near cool when it was set at 18 degrees. Overall we are very disappointed with the check-in and services at the lobby as both myself and my friend did not feel welcome. The room is another disappointment, no cold water in the room, a hard mattress, the pillows feel cheap and the air conditioning does not get cool. None of our experiences so far feel like any other 5-star hotel we have stayed in before. I would definitely not return here again in the future or not recommend this place to anyone.

We recommend Bandara! We had a lovely journey here at Bandara. The pool and its view are incredible. The room is super clean and confortable and the staff is amazing! Always smiling, ready to help, very charming. They also can help you book any taxi ride or activities. The breakfast was always delicious. We really enjoyed our stay! :) oh and it is 2 minutes walking feom a 7-eleven. ;)

The hotel was amazing we had a pool side room so had access to it right outside our door. The hotel is kept impeccably clean and the food is also good although pricier than if you were to get food at the market but definitely worth it. It has access to a beach and the rooms are just amazing and the bed it huge what needs and my partner liked was the separate duvets on the double bed as you can both be different temperatures. Air con was also very good

The front desk staff when checking in was really friendly. Always a pleasure staying there, as we’ve stayed there before. One thing that bothered me was that our room had a door in the room that led to the room next door, and we also didn’t get the room we requested. Also, this time the check out process took REALLY long, more than 25 minutes after handing in the keys, we were still waiting to get our deposit back and leave the hotel. The breakfast was really good, and you have an amazing view while enjoying your breakfast.
