Where is a good place to stay in Phuket?

I remember when I went to Phuket for the first time, I also searched for guides online, but none of what I found was what I wanted. In the end, I had no choice but to open the reservation myself. Start by comparing Phuket beach accommodation and then search for hotels on selected beaches one by one. Here is the strategy I developed at the time. Hope this helps!

It is really important to pay attention to the location of the hotel. Otherwise, the room rate seems cheap, but if you add transportation costs, it is really not cheap. I remember that we found a remote hotel for peace and quiet. The environment was great, but the transportation fee was really expensive. One time when we went out, the 20 yuan soft girl coin disappeared.

First look at the location distribution of booked hotels:

According to the data provided by booking, it was found that tourists’ favorite hotels are concentrated in these five places: Patong Beach, Karon Beach, Kata Beach, Phuket Town and Bangtao Beach. The first three are Phuket's main beaches.

Then look at the map of Phuket:

If it is your first time to Phuket, it is strongly recommended to book a hotel on the three major beaches (marked in black in the picture). For the first time, if you are a stranger, you must find some tourist facilities that are relatively complete. The three beaches, from hotels to entertainment venues, can basically solve the traffic problem by walking. Walk to the beach, the food stalls, the spa, and the small shop.

If you like liveliness and going to bars and nightclubs, then book a hotel in Patong Beach. In addition, the famous "Jiangxi Leng Mall" is also here. Among these three beaches, Patong Beach has the highest degree of commercialization and is also the largest public beach. Many Chinese people go there and many Chinese people do business there. Basically they don't have to worry about language issues.

If you like quietness, you can choose Karon Beach or Kata Beach. The two beaches are adjacent and you can walk past each other. The most important thing is that the cost of these two beaches is slightly lower than that of Patong. You can stay in better hotels on these two beaches for the same price. Don't worry too much about the language.

The airport in Phuket is very close to the mainland, and all sea trips are by the sea. You can see from the map how far it is. If you stay on a small beach and take a day trip, you have to pay thousands more.

Take Bang Tao Beach as an example. For a one-day tour (package usually refers to transportation to the three major beaches), you need to add USD 200B/person for transportation (round trip); if you live in McCoy and Nyan Beach, you need to charter a car for a one-way trip. Starting from 500B, the round trip starts from 1000B. In addition, the supporting facilities of the niche beaches are not as complete as those of the three major beaches, and shopping and eating are not very convenient. There are few small restaurants to choose from outside the hotel. Most guests choose to eat in the hotel, which is expensive and has a single menu.

So, can’t you book a hotel at a niche beach? No, of course if it’s not your first time to Phuket, most of the popular one-day tours have already been there, and they will be empty when you arrive in Phuket. You can choose to find resort hotels at these niche beaches.

If you are an artistic backpacker, it is recommended to live in Phuket. First of all, if you live in Phuket Town, there is no need to add transfer fees for most day tours. It is necessary to add a few more itineraries, such as "One-day Tour to Scattered Coral Island". For this specific situation, you have to ask the travel shop; Phuket Town is more artistic, has some Portuguese buildings, and has many inns and weekend markets to go to. But there are also many inconveniences in living in Phuket. For example, it is inconvenient to go to the public beach. Don’t trust those guides that say you can take the bus. Only chartered cars are reliable. Chartering a car from Phuket to the beach costs 500 baht.

Let me recommend some good hotels in Phuket to you. All hotels have private beaches!

Panwa Point Beach Apartment Hotel

Panwa Point's beachfront apartment hotel has 5-star hotel management standards and is close to the price. It is also in January, the peak tourist season in Phuket. About 500 standard rooms can be booked. Of course, the disadvantage is that Panwa Kok Island is a relatively remote place, far away from bustling places such as Patong, Kata, and Phuket.

Address: No. 8/88 Chalong, Satidek Road, Phuket City, Changwa Province

Telephone number: (66)7630-2900

Merlin Beach Resort

Merlin Beach Hotel is not far from Padang. It only takes 20 minutes to reach the most central area of ??Padang. The price is 900 per night in the peak season, and you can book a room for 600 in the off-season. What a bargain. The restaurant, lobby bar, and service are all great! In the evening, the resident singer in the lobby bar can't sing very good English songs at all, and you can always meet friendly people from Australia and Turkey.

Address: Sanzhuang Beach, Moon-Figorn Road, 99 Patong Katu, Phuket

Telephone: (66)7633-5300

Ba East Amari Hotel

The BaAmari Hotel (BaAmari Hotel) is located near the Merrill Lynch Beach Hotel, but closer to Patong. It is also a hotel with a private beach. The hotel price is 900 per night in peak season, which is slightly more expensive than the Merrill Lynch Beach Hotel. This hotel seems to have a high-end yacht club. The life of wealthy people in Phuket is really good.

Laguna Beach Resort

The Laguna Hotel in Taotan Beach can be booked for 2,500 per night in the peak season and 800 in the off-season. Not only does it have a private beach, but it also has a lake, with the sea on one side and the lake on the other, and the location is deserted. It is still some distance away from Badong, so friends who like liveliness may find it inconvenient.
