Royal Palm Resort: Where we were at
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Satisfaction:
  • The hotel was holding a function on one of the evenings and the music was very loud, until past midnight. The next day, there was also a power failure, that was restored quickly enough. It's comfortable enough for an average hotel of 3 stars. The staff are not very friendly or efficient.

    Unique Qualities: Nothing quite unique except for its good location. Next to Watson's so you can buy whatever 'emergency commercial necessities' (eg. water, snacks, band-aid's, etc.) at a rather affordable price. Almost next to Scuba Cat and near Dive the World, and all the other dive schools. Facing the beach. Not very noisy and the area is not sleazy because the bars are some distance away. Easy to get a tuk tuk from right in front of hotel and many shops around.

    Blue Ocean Resort: Pool Value
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Satisfaction:
  • Very pleasant stay although the airconditioning wasn't working. The place is very new, and the decor very pleasing, there is a little pool with a pool bar for you to chill out at on the days you don't want to squeeze with the rest on the beach. The price is good for the quality of the resort. It's not got any fanciful hotel stationery and additional things but it's comfortable, and quiet.

    Unique Qualities: A very nice pool, and very asian architecture, cosy layout. See my Phuket page for the pictures.

    Guesthouses and Lodges: General Accomodation Tips
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Satisfaction:
  • In general these are quite clean, readily available (at short notice most times) and very affordable. They are willing to take you up to view the rooms and the facilities. The quality of such accomodation is quite standard and you can choose the ones a distance from the bars to ensure quiet in the nights, as well as privacy and safety. It is often good to bargain. Bargaining during off-peak season is especially fruitful.
