Phuket Hotel Recommendations

On Jamie's Phuket Blog, you will find reviews of some of the best hotels on the 3 main beaches (Patong, Karon and Kata) and also plenty which are away from the crowds in quieter areas of Phuket. Phuket is a big place, it's worth spending some time to find the right hotel for you. I've been living in Phuket for over 11 years now, so I can certainly make some good suggestions when people ask me about Phuket hotels. Feel free to leave comments or ask questions on this page.

Where to book Phuket hotels online?

There are so many hotels to choose from in Phuket and literally hundreds of hotel booking web sites. I recommend everyone to look at Agoda before booking anywhere else. The rates are competitive, the choice is wide and the web site is well designed and very easy to use. There are loads of guest reviews for most of the hotels too. Agoda is also good for last minute bookings - you can book right up to the day of the stay with instant confirmation online... plus Agoda has a very nice rewards program where you gain points with every booking that can be used as a refund on future bookings!

Want the very best hotels in Phuket? Check out the Best Hotels in Phuket list I made in January 2011, or the Top 10 Hotels in Phuket list I made in 2008. Quite a few hotels are on both lists. A few new ones on the 2011 list. And they're not all 5 star - quite a mix of budgets. Good place to start looking if you want a top 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, by the way.

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 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 sit and relax. You are also within easy reach of Khao Sok national park and Phang Nga Bay.

More Phuket hotel reviews 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. You can find more hotels on my Phuket Hotels Blog. For most hotels you have a link for up-to-date 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. Do you have a question about Phuket Hotels? Please do add a comment below or join the Jamie's Phuket Facebook Page. I will try to answer! Or look @ Agoda.com for more Phuket hotel information than I can ever hope to add here plus best prices for online booking... Enjoy Phuket!
